The Voodoo Graphics 4 MB was a performance-segment graphics card by 3dfx, launched on October 7th, 1996. Built on the 500 nm process, and based on the SST1 graphics processor, in its 500-0003-03 variant, the card supports DirectX 5.0. Since Voodoo Graphics 4 MB does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The SST1 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 135 mm² and 1 million transistors. It features 1 pixel shader and 0 vertex shaders, 1 texture mapping unit and 1 ROP. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). 3dfx has paired 4 MB EDO memory with the Voodoo Graphics 4 MB, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 50 MHz, memory is running at 50 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the 3dfx Voodoo Graphics 4 MB does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 15 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x VGA. Voodoo Graphics 4 MB is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface. Its price at launch was 299 US Dollars.
