They revive the legendary Voodoo graphics by adding HDMI and DVI connectivity

Although 3DFX as such no longer exists, the company won a place in the hearts of PC enthusiasts 30 years ago with its Voodoo graphics cards, which opened new horizons in the world of PC gaming. Today, their cards survive in the hands of collectors, enthusiasts or simply speculators, and have practically no use or place in the current PC market.

However, the 3Dfx card collector, Oscar Barea, wanted to bring these cards to life and has set to work to create a “new” card called VooDooX equipped with digital video outputs to be used in today's monitors.

The VooDooX 4900 is based on the VSA-100 GPU that was part of the VooDoo 4 4500 and VooDoo 5 5500, integrated into a custom PCB where HDMi and DVI outputs have been added in addition to a standard VGA.

Its creators have been able to run games like Quake 3 or Dune 2000 on a Windows 98 machine.

Naturally, with more than 20 years behind it, this GPU does not have compatibility with current graphics technologies and APIs, but it is still an eye-catching project to be able to provide them with modern video connectivity.
