The second generation
3d accelerator from
3dfx. A
2D SVGA adapter is still required, as the Voodoo2 is a pass-through 3D only gard. The Voodoo2 has 2 seperate
texelfx rendering chips feeding 1
pixelfx chip. (
Texelfx is the texture processing chip from the original
Voodoo graphics board, and
pixelfx is it's framebuffer chip). Reusing the same framebuffer chip from the Voodoo1 limited the Voodoo2 to a 16-bit
frambuffer, even though the
rendering pipeline is 24-bit. The Voodoo2's fill rate is about 90
megapixels/second, but could be up to 180 megapixels with two cards connected in
SLI mode.
