Applications

The Voodoo3 2000 was introduced by 3dfx Interactive in 1999 as an integrated 2D/3D graphics solution, combining 3dfx's acclaimed Glide 3D API support with full 2D desktop functionality — a departure from the earlier Voodoo2, which required a separate 2D card. It was aimed at the mainstream gaming market and competed directly with cards based on NVIDIA's RIVA TNT2 and ATI's Rage 128 at the time. The Voodoo3 series was widely used in Windows 98 and Windows ME gaming PCs, and the PCI version was particularly valued in systems lacking an AGP slot — including many older Pentium II and Pentium III builds. Today the Voodoo3 2000 PCI is a sought-after component in retro PC and vintage gaming builds, especially for collectors recreating late-1990s Windows 98 or MS-DOS gaming rigs. Its native Glide support makes it one of the preferred cards for running 3dfx-optimized titles such as Quake III, Unreal Tournament, and numerous Glide-based games from that era.
