I thought I was old, but I've only even heard of the 3dfx 😳

    I must be ancient then. I recognized, and I think used, all of those cards/chips.

    Some personally. Some at work. At work I used to maintain and MS-DOS / early Windows graphics program. I had to test the program’s compatibility with a stack of graphics cards.

    I'm still angry at nvidia for buying their remains, and not doing anything useful with it.

    3dfx had multi GPU support back then, it took quite a while afterwards until somebody else tried that.
