The video signal of the primary graphics card is routed through a loopback cable and replaced by the Voodoo 2s own output when the board is used. Compared to the Voodoo a second texture unit was added thus enabling multitexturing capabilities. With the SLI connector (top side) you can pair two cards for increased performance and enabling 1024x768 as max. resolution for 3D accelerated modes. (SLI = Scan Line Interleave) The card on the photo has faster memory chips allowing operation at 110 MHz. The chip uses a 4x1 pixel linear filter to generate the 16 bit color of the output pixel.
