In 1998, 3dfx released the Voodoo2, a successor to the original Voodoo Graphics, featuring a second texture unit that enabled dual-texturing in a single pass. Despite requiring three chips and a separate 2D graphics card, the Voodoo2 outperformed single-chip rivals like the ATI Rage Pro and NVIDIA RIVA 128. Limited to 16-bit color and 800×600 resolution, it still delivered unmatched frame rates. Voodoo2 introduced Scan-Line Interleave (SLI), allowing two cards to work together, boosting performance and enabling 1024×768 resolution, cementing its status as a landmark in PC 3D graphics history.
