3DFx loves 3DNow!: 3Dfx Interactive Inc. today announced that its award-winning line of Voodoo accelerators has been optimized to deliver peak performance on AMD processors enhanced with 3DNow! technology, including the AMD-K6-III processor introduced today. Working closely with AMD, 3Dfx optimized its entire line of Voodoo accelerators to support 3DNow! technology, paving the way for mainstream consumers to enjoy greater realism in games and entertainment content. All 3Dfx Interactive accelerators, including the currently available Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo2, have been optimized for 3DNow! technology. The optimizations will particularly benefit the new Voodoo3 product family, recently unveiled by 3Dfx to deliver the world's fastest 3D and 2D performance and support ultra high-resolution displays. All of the application programming interfaces (APIs) supported by Voodoo3 – including Microsoft's DirectX, Glide from 3Dfx and OpenGL from Silicon Graphics – have been optimized for 3DNow! technology. This allows entertainment content developers to include more intricate models and scenes, and create characters and objects that behave and move with greater realism. More at 3dfx.com Petz
