Voodoo 3
Yesssssss. will you look at this mother:
"With its dual, 32-bit rendering pipelines, Voodoo3 can generate greater than 7 million triangles per second utilizing its 100-billion operations per second 3D architecture. Voodoo3 delivers more than twice the triangle performance of two Voodoo2 boards in the Scan Line Interleave (SLI) format -- currently the industry's fastest 3D graphics configuration. The Voodoo3 family utilizes the 3Dfx patented full-speed, single-cycle, single-pass multi- texturing, which enables critical features such as hardware accelerated bump- mapping and trilinear mip-mapping at 60 frames per second for today's most demanding entertainment titles.
Voodoo3 integrates the world's fastest 2D core from Voodoo Banshee, the Ziff-Davis Business Graphics Winbench® 99 leader, which includes a dedicated high speed 128-bit interface and an internal 256-bit datapath for optimized memory utilization. Additionally, Voodoo3 features the industry's most complete hardware acceleration of the Microsoft Windows Graphics Driver Interface (GDI)."
- RAMDAC at 350MHz
- support both SGRAM and
- SDRAM memory
- resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 at a full 75Hz
- Voodoo3 2000 is capable of achieving a maximum fill rate of 250-megatexels per second
- Voodoo3
- 3000 is capable of delivering greater than 366-megatexels per second fill rate
- Voodoo3 provides hardware DVD acceleration support to ensure 30 frames per second playback with no dropped frames
- 8.2 million transistors and manufactured in an advanced .25 micron CMOS process
Move over TNT, this is the card to get now!
oh and the best bit:
"pricing for the Voodoo3 3000 is expected to start at $45 in quantities of 10,000 units"
So come on dudes all we need to do is organise 10,000 orders and we get it for US$45 ! YEAH !
hehehe
