Lol damn made me remember back in the day when people had dual Nvidia 8800s. |
SLI days? :)
I remember back when video cards where stand alone, and 3dfx cards where these "extra" cards, that you also ran, side by side, with the video card. You then had a vga cable, that hooked from your video card, into the 3dfx card, and out, towards the monitor.
That was how you ran 3D games back then. Before it was called Nvidia.
My bro got a voodoo card, I was jealous of what it could do. I remember being blown away, seeing games run in 3d, back when everything else was 2d. |
Well, a lot of folks ran only one card, be it S3 Virge, ATI Rage or Matrox Mystique (or some of the later models, video card market was very turbulent in late 90s with cards releasing every year)...those initial 3D cards pretty much all sucked compared to 3dfx Voodoo, but they had 3D accelerators on board along with standard 2D circuits for that time.
