3dfx's SST1 GPU uses the architecture and is made using a 500 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 135 mm² and a transistor count of 1 million it is a small chip. SST1 supports DirectX 5.0. Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. It features 1 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 1 texture mapping units and 1 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support).
