3Dfx was the beginning of high end graphics cards that has the ability to enhance 3D rendering. The Glide API was dedicated to gaming with features designed to support 3D geometry, basic texture mapping, and higher resolution. The first cards were daughter cards that had to run in tandem with a standard video card, as they could only handle 3D rendering.
3Dfx has been available in DOSBox for several years, however support has always been a little spotty. This is partly due to the CPU power needed to emulate the card, however it is also due to the less then perfect 3Dfx patches that developers released for their games.
