STB.
Unlike Voodoo1/2 which were liscensed to 3rd parties. All Voodoo3/4/5 were made by STB (owned by 3dfx at the time).

What I found interesting when reading this old thread is that nobody produced benchmark evidence showing the speed benefits of SGRAM per the same clock speed. Anyone have these benchmarks?
thandor.net - Voodoo3 2000 PCI. The scores in red are for SDRAM cards and the scores in grey are for SGRAM cards. SGRAM is faster but of course depending on the benchmark and CPU-speed the differences are smaller or bigger.

Almost correct. A few of the Voodoo3/4 cards are not make by STB/3dfx like the thandor.net - GARNET GV- 2000SD or PowerColor Evil King 4.
PowerColor also made Voodoo3 cards and somewhere on the world there is a Meditech Voodoo4 4500. There are also a few oddities from SuperTeck, Sigma and Speed which you can find on Gary Donovan's page: http://thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/overseas.htm
thandor.net - hardware
And the rest of us would be carousing the aisles, stuffing baloney.
That is some extensive benchmarking. In nearly all cases, the SGRAM card is faster. It seems to vary between 0% and about 9% faster, with an average around 3% faster.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.

o.0 Interesting... were they offically licensed?
