1.3 Orchid Technology
Nov. 6, 1995 Orchid Technology announced the development of a 3D game board for consumers based on Voodoo graphics.
March 20, 1996 Micronics Computers, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Orchid Technology, today announced a strategic alliance with 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. to develop an integrated system solution for the arcade game industry and peripheral products for the personal computer market. Orchid Technology will develop its "Righteous 3D" TM graphics accelerator card based on the 3Dfx Voodoo chipset and Glide API.
October 3,1996 Righteous 3D ships to direct sales customers. （NEWS from www.orchid.com）

1.3.1 Righteous 3D BIOS version Engineering sample
Orchid as the earliest partner of 3DFX. When March 20, 1996 (9612 weeks) announced the development of Righteous 3D graphics cards, the earliest Obsidian green version of our 3DFX collection graphics cards (9615 weeks) had not yet been finalized. Righteous 3D's FCCID: DDS7EFF06964M3DFX was approved on July 24, 1996 (9630 weeks). The general FCCID certification takes about three weeks, so it seems that Righteous 3D is 9626 weeks finalized, which is almost the same as 9625 weeks of 3DFX finalization date. The Righteous 3D promotional image below is the one that has passed FCCID certification. It can be seen that Righteous 3D was originally designed with BIOS.

1.3.2 Righteous 3D Triode version
Righteous 3D is commercialized in the Triode version.

1.3.3 Righteous 3D  later version
Triode for Righteous 3D graphics cards was later cancelled.

 Another feature of the Righteous 3D graphics card is the use of 2 Relay switch. It is said that 2 Relay switch were canceled in the end. I have not seen the real thing.

You should swap the texture and pixel processor names in the first post.

Just wondering, why there's nothing regarding the V1 monster card, Primary Image Piranha?

THANKS!

1.4 Diamond Multimedia
August 6, 1996 -- Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. at the Siggraph trade show announced it will begin offering its new Monster 3D™ graphics subsystem to OEMs looking to create high-performance PC gaming machines.

2.Voodoo Rush

COMDEX, Las Vegas, November 18, 1996 - 3Dfx Interactive announced Voodoo Rush, the next-generation of its critically-acclaimed Voodoo Graphics 3D technology. The product is a low-cost, 3D graphics solution which allows a seamless interface between the Voodoo Graphics chipset and Alliance Semiconductor's ProMotion-AT3D PC multimedia accelerator. In addition, Trident Microsystems, Inc., Macronix America, Inc., and Media Reality Technologies, Inc. have also announced their intention to strike strategic partnerships with 3Dfx similar to the current successful relationship with Alliance.

Voodoo Rush incorporates critical 3D features, such as triangle setup, Gouraud shading, bilinear and advanced filtering, Z-buffering, alpha-blending, level-of-detail MIP mapping, and perspective-correct texture mapping, which are essential for visually realistic texture-mapped entertainment and authoring applications. Moreover, Voodoo Rush simultaneously delivers these features with the triangle and fill-rate performance necessary to achieve 30-plus frames per second.

In addition to its core 3D capabilities, Voodoo Rush also supports unique special effects including texture compositing and morphing, sub-pixel correction, texture animation, and per-pixel MIP mapping and atmospheric effects such as transparency, fog, and haze. animation sequences.

January 6, 1997-3Dfx Interactive announced that Voodoo Rush will first be used by Hercules Computer Technology, Inc. to make Stingray 128/3D graphics cards.Other partners include Acclaim Entertainment, Diamond Multimedia, Hewlett-Packard Company, Falcon Northwest, Interactive Light, NEC Technologies, Micron, Orchid Technologies and Williams-Atari-Bally-Midway.

Voodoo Rush surpasses Voodoo in resolution, with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200. Due to the poor compatibility of the Rush chip, the 2D performance is mediocre. At the same time, there are some compatibility issues with the software in the 3D part. However, as 3Dfx's first graphics card that can work independently, the production volume that year was far less than Voodoo, still has a good collection value.

Pixel Processor TMU chip number 500-0004-02, 208 pins, still use Voodoo chip. Texture Processors changed from Voodoo's FBI to FJR, the chip number was changed from 500-0003-03 to 500-0005-04, and the number of pins was changed from 240 to 208.

Technical specification of Voodoo rush（SST-96）:

2. 1 Dfx
The 2D Graphics chip of Voodoo rush is provided by Alliance Semiconductor and MXIC.

2.1.1 Alliance Semiconductor version
The earliest Voodoo rush graphics card was a Dual plane architecture with a 2D main card and Voodoo rush daughter card. The 2D main card uses Alliance Semiconductor Promotion AT3D/AT25 chip.

2.1.1.1 Dual plane
Voodoo Rush 4 MB prototype- Lower 2D PCB (manufactured by Alliance Semiconductor) with Alliance AT3D chip dated 9629weeks, upper PCB with Voodoo Rush chipset dated 9649weeks,PCB#600-0018-03.

2.1.1.2 Single plane
The PCB date of this Voodoo Rush Single plane is 9725weeks. Voodoo rush graphics cards mostly use Single plane architecture.

2.1.2 MXIC version
This Voodoo rush reference board is co-developed by Macronix International Co. Using the MX86251FC chip, the PCB date is 9732weeks. Voodoo rush using MXIC Graphics chip is less than using Alliance Semiconductor Graphics chip.

Hercules Computer Technology, Inc. first cooperated with 3Dfx.

2.2.1 Stingray 128/3D Dual plane version
Stingray 128/3D Dual plane made some adjustments on the 3Dfx reference board. In April 1997, Stingray 128/3D released.

2.2.1 Stingray 128/3D Single plane version
This board type is developed independently. Mainly sold Voodoo rush graphics products.

2.3 Orchid Technology
Orchid Technology was involved in the research and development of Voodoo rush very early, but the product failed to achieve the expected purpose and gave up retail.

2.4 Diamond Multimedia
Diamond Multimedia also developed a Voodoo rush graphics card with its own characteristics very early, but gave up due to many problems.

The above two unreleased and unsold Voodoo rush graphics cards are from the G1nX collection. G1nX is a top computer hardware collector and also has the earliest Obsidian green graphics card.

This ATC-2475 graphics card was disassembled from the same batch of brand machines, which indirectly proves how poor Voodoo Rush's 3D compatibility is.

3. Voodoo2
November 3, 1997 -- – 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. announced Voodoo 2 Graphics.
Voodoo2 is an expandable architecture with a base configuration of a 192-bit memory architecture and 2.2 Gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth, delivering over 50 BOPS (Billions of Operations per Second). This configuration delivers an incredible 3 million triangles per second and 90 million dual-textured, bilinear-filtered, per-pixel MIP-mapped, alpha-blended, Z-buffered pixels per second, over three times the performance of the current Voodoo Graphics. Voodoo 2 contains a full floating-point hardware triangle setup unit for maximum triangle throughput on Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium II powered systems. Voodoo 2 is also an AGP-capable technology designed to utilize the higher bandwidth available through AGP and will support 3D games with resolutions up to 1024 X 768.

Voodoo2 is the most popular 3D graphics card that pushes 3Dfx to the top. The launch of Voodoo2 made 3dfx's dominance even more unshakable. At that time, the performance of Voodoo2 made it difficult for opponents to match. The Voodoo 2 chip consists of three independent processors, one for polygon processing and two for texture mapping.

Technical specification of Voodoo2 （SST-2）:
Video memory capacity: 6 /8/12(2/4MB Frame Buffer, 4/6/8MB texture buffer.)
Bus type:EDO RAM
Bus interface:PCI
Core clock：90 MHz
Memory clock：90 MHz
Triangle processing speed/s:3M
Pixels/s:90M
Textels/s:180M
RAMDAC:110 MHz
Maximum resolution:800x600
Fab (nm)：350 nm

3. 1 Dfx
Although the essence of the Voodoo2 graphics card is the optimization and upgrade of the Voodoo graphics card and the addition of a TMU chip, because the FBI chip pins are increased from 240 to 256, a special chip evaluation board is still needed.

3.1.1 Voodoo2 chip evaluation board
There is no early Voodoo2 chip evaluation board, but its board type should be close to Voodoo graphics card. Use one Pixel Processor (Texture map unit, code name "BrucE"), chip number 500-0006-03, 208 pins; One Texture Processor (Frame buffer unit, code name "ChucK"), chip number 500-0007-04 , 256 pins. The official chip number is 500-00010-01/500-0009-01.

This PCB is dated 9819Weeks and is an evaluation board for the late Voodoo2 chip. The chip number evaluated is 500-0012-31/500-0011-01. I just don’t know how this new serial number has improved, why there is no mass production and sales.

3.1.2 Voodoo2 reference board 6MB Earlier version
Voodoo2 graphics card released by 3Dfx in November 1997 is this version. The picture was published in "Next Generation"-Jan 1998. The chip date is 9741 weeks, between October 5-11, 1997, which is the day before the release of the Voodoo2 graphic card, an earlier version of 3Dfx used for test verification. There are two more examples of Voodoo2 graphic card SLI connection in the picture. This unique method of SLI also makes Voodoo2 graphic card the most memorable 3D graphic card.

3.1.3 Voodoo2 reference board 6MB Late version
The Voodoo2 graphic card below has a chip date of 9746 weeks and a PCB board date of 9744 weeks. This version is a relatively mature reference design, which is used by Diamond and Creative to make Voodoo2 graphic card. Because the 6MB version of Voodoo2 graphic card has only a 640x480 resolution flaw, Imperial Diamond and Creative have wasted almost three months and had to give up.

From www.thandor.net

3.1.4 PCB#600-0027-01 version
 This is the 8 / 12MB version of the Voodoo2 graphics card test verification version, no outflow. Supported the mainstream 800x600 resolution at the time, and the SLI connection supported 1024x768 resolution.

3.1.5 PCB#600-0027-02 version
Diamond and Creative both use this reference board to make Voodoo2 graphics cards. After that, many manufacturers also directly used this design to make Voodoo2 graphics cards. The reference board of the drawing is the Rev 2 version, the PCB date is 9808 weeks, and the chip date is 9803/9806 weeks.

From nest

3.1.6 PCB#600-0027-03 version
The chip date on this reference board is 9816/9821 weeks, and the PCB date is 9828 weeks. This version uses less material, and there may not be any improvement in performance. However, it was adopted more by manufacturers who entered Voodoo2 graphics card manufacturing later. Creative did not use this version, but Diamond did some circuit optimization earlier.

From www.tdfx.de

3.1.7 PCB#600-0028-01
3Dfx has developed the AGP version of Voodoo2 graphics card as scheduled, PCB DATE 9810weeks. Just Unreleased board.

3.1.8 V2 1000
3Dfx originally did not intend to enter the Voodoo2 graphics card market, but when it acquired STB Systems on December 14, 1998 to prepare for the sole production and sale of Voodoo3 graphics cards, it may be possible to see STB's ready-made BlackMagic 3D production lines and semi-finished products. While Voodoo2 graphics cards still have a market, they will continue Produced BlackMagic 3D, but changed its name to V2 1000.

3.1.8.1 STB BlackMagic 3D
STB has strong R & D capabilities as an old-fashioned graphics card manufacturer. The Voodoo2 graphics card with a changed design uses electrolytic capacitors.

3.1.8.1.1 Engineering sample
The production date of the BlackMagic 3D Engineering sample is April 8, 1998. The practice of labeling "NOT FOR RESALE" on engineering samples is adopted by 3Dfx.
