Return of the Voodoo

...Sharing a common love of graphics, it appears as if a small group has secretly developed a skunkworks project with the express aim of furthering PC gaming.

It's hard to overestimate the impact the legendary 3DFX team had on the nascent PC gaming scene 20 years ago. 3DFX was a silicon harbinger in many ways, continually pushing back the boundaries with new technology and clever engineering. Gaming today would not be the same without 3DFX's vision.

Many of the finest minds at the original company went on to take prominent positions at leading semiconductor firms of today. Sharing a common love of graphics, it appears as if a small group has secretly developed a skunkworks project with the express aim of furthering PC gaming.

The 3DFX Voodoo Reloaded card is the sum of their considerable ambition. They say that you shouldn't believe all you read, and this is, unfortunately one of those occasions. Look up vapourware in a dictionary and you'll see the 3DFX Voodoo Reloaded staring right back at you. Happy April Fool's!

Liquid cooling as standard
Massive overclock potential
Comes packed with nostalgia

About as real as a pink unicorn

The 3DFX Voodoo Reloaded graphics is merely a figment of our imagination, but well done for getting this far into the review.
