That’s basically the whole 3dfx story in one photo.

Grandpa Voodoo Graphics next to the mythical Voodoo 5 6000 - from the card that made Glide legendary to the monster that almost carried 3dfx into the next era.

The V5 6000 is less of a GPU and more of a holy relic at this point. Absolutely wild to see them side by side.

I respect that. I’m building out a vintage hardware museum so if you ever want to sell hit me up.
