Malingaliro a 3dfx Olowetsamo olowera msika wamakhadi akanema

Makhadi ojambula ojambula a 3D amakumbukiridwa ndi anthu achikulire. Zachidziwikire, ogwiritsa ntchito a Pentium woyamba ndi Celeron adakwanitsa kuyesa Voodoo 3 Velocity 100 pamasewera, omwe mtengo wake unali pansi pa $ 20 zaka 100 zapitazo. Koma wopanga sanamvere mpikisano nVidia (wokhala ndi accelerator yocheperako Riva TNT 2). Pambuyo poyambitsa makhadi angapo a nVidia MX 32-bit, 3dfx idataya malo ake pamsika.

3dfx Interactive - kulota sikovulaza

 

M'mawu awo, gulu la 3dfx Interactive lilengeza zomwe zachitika posachedwa pakupanga makadi a kanema. Kwa okhawo ogula ambiri mtunduwu sudziwika. Ndipo mafani a Voodoo adachoka kale pamakompyuta amasewera. Ndikugawana pamsika wa 80% nVidia ndi 20% AMD, zopangidwa za 3dfx sizimadzipangira zokha.

Koma pali chiyembekezo. Ngati akatswiri amakampani akwanitsa kuchepetsa mtengo wamagetsi wamagawo apakati komanso okwera mtengo, ndiye kuti 5-10% ya ogula atha kudulidwa. Koma zonsezi ndizokongola m'mawu okha. Zimphona zazikulu zamakampani sizimatha kusiya 1% yaogula. Ndipo 3dfx mumsika wamakono wamakhadi amakanema samawalitsa chilichonse chabwino.

 

Zambiri zosangalatsa za 3dfx Interactive

 

Kodi mumadziwa kuti ukadaulo wa SLI (Scan-Line Interleave) udapangidwa mkati mwa makoma a 3dfx. Kubwerera mzaka za 2000, zinali zotheka kuphatikiza ma accelerator amasewera osiyanasiyana, ndikuwonjezera magwiridwe antchito. Tsopano, ukadaulo wa SLI ndiwothandizirana ndi nVidia Corporation.

Ma accelerator aposachedwa kwambiri a 3dfx Voodoo5 6000, omwe kampaniyo yakhala ikugwira ntchito kwa zaka zingapo, sanafike kwa anthu ambiri. Kungoti akatswiri aukadaulo amasuka kwambiri, osaona omwe akupikisana nawo pamsika NVIDIA ndi ATI. Zomwe zidalipira. Omasulidwa a GeForce 2 Ultra ndi ATI Radeon 7500 anali ndi mtengo wotsika. Ndipo adawonetsa magwiridwe antchito pamasewera. Ndipo accelerator ya 3dfx idakhala khadi yoyamba yamasewera yomwe idatha ntchito, osasiya mzere wa msonkhano.

3dfx Interactive inali ndi ndalama zokwanira m'ma 2000 kuti igule ATI, yomwe inali itangolowa kumene pamsika ndipo inali ndi mavuto azachuma. Koma oyang'anira a 3dfx adawona kuti mgwirizanowu ndi ndalama zochepa. Zotsatira zake, ATI idagulidwa ndi AMD pamodzi ndi zochitika ndi zovomerezeka. Ndipo makhadi onsewa am'magawo abizinesi omwe ali pansi pa chizindikiro cha AMD amapangidwa mkati mwa mpanda wa ATI. Ndipo 3dfx idatsalira ogula kokha zokumbukira.
