The one, the only, the original Voodoo1. Back when 3D acceleration was a new thing, the 3DFX cards blew away home consoles and set the PC apart as THE gaming machine to own for maximum awesomeness. And one of the most iconic is the Diamond Monster 3D 4MB PCI card.

A quick overview of the card and a direct comparison of 2D software modes and 3D accelerated modes using Glide and Direct3D. Footage of Quake, Need For Speed II SE and Tomb Raider 2, all on Windows 95. Now *THIS* is hardcore gaming, 1997-style!

Hardware used:
Intel Pentium II 233MHz
32MB SD RAM
Windows 95 OSR2
DirectX 6
Diamond Monster 3D 4MB PCI (Voodoo card)
ATI Mach64 2MB PCI (2D card)

Huge thanks to Dayv99 for the Voodoo card!
