Keep a small reminder of a landmark in PC graphics history close at hand with this 3dfx Interactive double-sided keychain charm. Founded in 1994, the company earned recognition through Voodoo graphics hardware and Glide, as consumer 3D acceleration moved into the mainstream. Its path from chip supplier to maker of branded cards, followed by the transfer of most assets to Nvidia, makes 3dfx a compact story of innovation and industry change. A distinctive keepsake for collectors and longtime PC gaming fans.
Founded on August 24, 1994, as 3D/fx, Inc., 3dfx Interactive was an American graphics hardware company headquartered in San Jose, California. Founders Ross Smith, Gary Tarolli, and Scott Sellers had worked at Silicon Graphics; Gordie Campbell of TechFarm later joined them. The company sent its first Voodoo Graphics chip to manufacturing on November 6, 1995, and became known for 3D acceleration and its Glide API. Initially an OEM chip supplier, it entered the consumer card market as affordable 3D hardware expanded. Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 helped establish its presence, followed by integrated products including Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3. In December 1998, 3dfx acquired graphics-card maker STB Systems, aiming to build and sell its own cards; the shift strained relationships with some OEM customers. Delays and stronger competition affected later Voodoo products. 3dfx acquired GigaPixel in March 2000. Nvidia acquired most of its assets on December 15, 2000, primarily for intellectual property, and 3dfx ended product support on February 15, 2001. The company filed for bankruptcy on October 15, 2002.
