I-3dfx yamaphupha asebenzayo okungena kwimakethi yevidiyo

Amakhadi emizobo yokudlala e-3D ayakhunjulwa sisizukulwana sabadala. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uninzi lwabasebenzisi bePentium yokuqala kunye neCeleron bakwazi ukuvavanya iVoodoo 3 Velocity 100 kwimidlalo, ixabiso layo laliphantsi kwe- $ 20 kwiminyaka engama-100 eyadlulayo. Kodwa umenzi uthathele ingqalelo umntu okhuphisana naye ongu-nVidia (kunye nesantya esincinci seRiva TNT 2). Emva kokwaziswa kwe-nVidia MX 32-bit uthotho lwamakhadi, i-3dfx ilahlekelwe yindawo yayo kwintengiso.

I-3dfx Interactive - ukuphupha akunabungozi

 

Kwiintetho zabo, i-3dfx Iqela elisebenzayo libhengeza ukukhula kwabo okutsha kwicandelo lemveliso yamakhadi evidiyo. Kuphela uninzi lwabathengi olu phawu alwaziwa. Kwaye abalandeli beVoodoo kudala bemka kwiikhompyuter zemidlalo. Ngesabelo sentengiso se-80% nVidia kunye ne-20% ye-AMD, iimveliso ze-3dfx akunakulindeleka ukuba zikwazi ukutshintsha nantoni na ibe ngcono.

Kodwa likho ithemba. Ukuba iiteknoloji zeenkampani ziyakwazi ukunciphisa amaxabiso ezinto ezikhawulezayo kwicandelo eliphakathi neliphezulu, ke i-5-10% yabathengi inokucinywa. Kodwa konke oku kuhle kuphela ngamazwi. Amashishini amakhulu akuthandeki ukuba akhuphe i-1% yabathengi abanokubakho. Kwaye i-3dfx kwintengiso yale mihla yamakhadi evidiyo ayikhanyisi nantoni na elungileyo.

 

Iinyani ezinomdla malunga ne-3dfx Interactive

 

Ngaba uyazi ukuba itekhnoloji ye-SLI (Scan-Line Interleave) yenziwa ngaphakathi kweendonga ze-3dfx. Emuva kwii-2000s, kwakunokwenzeka ukudibanisa ii-accelerators zokudlala ezimbini kuluhlu, olonyusa ukusebenza kwenkqubo. Ngoku, itekhnoloji ye-SLI yeyabanini beNVidia Corporation.

Isantya esandula ukwenziwa se-3dfx Voodoo5 6000, apho inkampani ibisebenza khona iminyaka eliqela, khange siyenze ebantwini. Kungenxa yokuba iiteknoloji ziphumle kakhulu, zingaqapheli abo sikhuphisana nabo kwintengiso nvidia kunye neATI. Yintoni ehlawulwe. Ikhutshwe iGeForce 2 Ultra kunye ne-ATI Radeon 7500 inexabiso elisezantsi. Kwaye kwabonisa ukusebenza okuphezulu kwimidlalo. Kwaye i-accelerator ye-3dfx yaba likhadi lokuqala lomdlalo elaye laphelelwa lixesha, laphantse lashiya umgca wendibano.

I-3dfx Interactive ibinemali eyoneleyo kwiminyaka yoo-2000 yokuthenga i-ATI, ebisandula ukungena kwimarike kwaye ineengxaki zemali. Kodwa abaphathi be-3dfx bayiqwalasele le nto njengesivumelwano kutyalo-mali olubi. Ngenxa yoko, i-ATI yathengwa yi-AMD kunye nophuhliso kunye namalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza. Kwaye onke la makhadi emidlalo kwicandelo lohlahlo-lwabiwo mali phantsi kwempawu yophawu lwe-AMD ayenziwe ngaphakathi kweendonga ze-ATI. Kwaye i-3dfx yahlala kubathengi kuphela kwimemori.
