Notes

Diamond Monster 3D (3Dfx Voodoo)

The Monster 3D was Diamond's 3DFX Voodoo 3D graphics accelerator card - the first to be released. The 4 MB of onboard memory was split into 2 MB of frame buffer and 2 MB to store textures.

  • 3Dfx Voodoo cards have no 2D core, so a separate 2D accelerator is required.
