Notes
Diamond Monster 3D II (3Dfx Voodoo 2)
The Monster 3D II was Diamond's 3DFX Voodoo2 3D graphics accelerator card. The 8 MB of onboard memory was split into a 4MB frame buffer memory & 4MB texture memory.
- 3Dfx Voodoo 2 cards have no 2D core, so a separate 2D accelerator is required.
- Max resolution is 800x600, with SLI goes to 1024x768.
