This GPU cost $15,000 and there’s only ONE like it – 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000

Check out the $14.99 Minnow set and the $19.99 Moray set at: https://www.ifixit.com/LTT

3dfx was the king of the graphics card world in the 90s, and in a flash they were gone. The Voodoo 5 6000 was the last GPU 3dfx produced, and released – Could it have changed the face of PC gaming?
