Voodoo³ represents a trio of new video chips, but all will share the following features--some of which should be familiar to 3Dfx-ophiles:

• AGP 2x/sidebands compliant
• .25-micron fabrication
• No AGP direct memory execution
• Single ASIC containing single-pass dual texturing via dual graphics pipeline
• 2D based on optimized 128-bit Voodoo Banshee core (Windows GDI hardware accelerator)
• 8.2-million transistors
• 100 billion operations per second
• 7 million triangles/sec.
• 256x256 maximum texture size
• 32-bit internal rendering
• 16-bit z-buffered output (22-bit effective)
• 4 to 16MB of SDRAM or SGRAM
• Bilinear, trilinear, and anisotropic filtering
• Full floating-point triangle set-up engine
• Support for LCD panels up to 1280x1024 resolution
• Support for up to QXGA mode of 2048x1536
• TV-input/output
• 3D rendering up to 1920x1440
• Hardware assisted DVD playback with planar-to-packed conversion
• Support for triangle strips and fans
• API support via D3D, OpenGL ICD, and Glide (duh!)

The retail-ready Voodoo3-3000 will come packing:

• 350MHz integrated RAMDAC
• 366Mtexels/s fill rate
• 166MHz internal clock speed
• Maximum resolution of 2048x1536 @ 75Hz

An AGP 4x version is also slated
