- 3dfx_Interactive abstract "3dfx Interactive was a company that specialized in the manufacturing of 3D graphics processing units and, later, graphics cards. It was a pioneer in the field from the late 1990s until 2000, when it underwent one of the most high-profile demises in the history of the PC industry. It was headquartered in San Jose, California until, on the verge of bankruptcy, many of its intellectual assets (and many employees) were acquired by its rival, Nvidia. 3dfx Interactive filed for bankruptcy on October 15, 2002.The company's initial flagship product was the Voodoo Graphics, an add-in card that accelerated 3D graphics. The hardware only accelerated 3D rendering, relying on the PC's current video card for 2D support. Despite this limitation, the Voodoo Graphics was very popular and it became standard for many 3D games to offer support for the company's Glide API. An attempt to offer a combined 2D/3D solution resulted in the Voodoo Rush, which was much maligned due to various compatibility and performance issues. 3dfx's successor to the Voodoo Graphics, the Voodoo 2, retained the 3D-only capability of its predecessor. The company also introduced another 2D/3D card, the Voodoo Banshee, which was far better received than the Rush before it.Despite its success, 3dfx made several key missteps during its history. The first was a failed collaboration with Sega, with whom 3dfx was to develop and supply video hardware for the Sega Dreamcast console. Sega would instead choose industry competitor NEC for the project. The second was its acquisition of STB Systems, then a major supplier of video cards. With STB, 3dfx would no longer license its technology to OEMs to release their own versions of 3dfx hardware. The Voodoo 3 was the first 3dfx product to be produced solely by 3dfx. The company no longer received revenue from partnerships with other manufacturers, who started producing cards based on chipsets from 3dfx rivals such as Nvidia and ATI. The Voodoo 3 and its successors the Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 5 faced stiff competition from rival hardware, eventually leading to 3dfx's bankruptcy in 2002.".
