The 3dfx Voodoo Worked So Well Nobody Saw the Problem (playstationcouch.com)

The 3dfx Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D card, or the most complete. It was the first that made games feel smooth. Four years later, Nvidia bought what was left of the company. What went wrong? #Voodoo #Gaming

Yeah, the shutter hz/fps halving. I was on the 60 -> 30 route I think, which was still bearable to me, at least at that time.

But all in all until now I accepted that "3D" output will always be niche for a lot of reasons. But it pops up every 10 years or so.
