On snap. I’d totally forgotten the Voodoo cards were add-on cards that couldn’t do 2D. They used a pass through where the voodoo sat inline between your vga card and your monitor. When a game triggered 3D mode via Glide, the Voodoo literally hijacked the wire and sent its own signal to your monitor. Presumably your 2D card was still pumping out Windows desktop or whatever, but that signal was just being discarded. That’s fucking wild. And that doesn’t even get into SLI where two voodoo cards would take turns drawing every other scan line.
