I can't seem to find accurate information on either the SRP or street price of 3dfx Voodoo Graphics at launch, does anyone have a source?
the original launch price was $299 apparently but quickly dropped after that.

$299 at launch was the suggested retail price, then it was lowered to $199 and I might be mistaken but it got a further drop later to $149.
My memory suggests 399$ Canadian /299$ US at launch .
No MSRP, but launch press release for Diamond Monster 3D on Oct. 31, 1996

I can't recall exactly but the Orchid Righteous 3D was $299 mail order when I got it and that was before they were in stores and it was also the first 3dfx card sold.

OK that confirms $299 1997 price as far as I'm concerned. No 3dfx for my 1997 budget PC 😁
