Later, the company was one of three companies to provide a VGA-controller for the 3dfx Voodoo Rush 3D-accelerator card

A rare third version was produced which featured a Cirrus Logic 2D chip instead of the earlier model. This version fixed the PCI bus collisions and memory interface problems.

have seen rushes with the macronix 2d but neve with the cirrus....finders keepers :)

*snort*

Don't count on anything accurate from that "self correcting" online information source.

I have corrected that article more than a few times.

I think it's safe to assume that 3dfx - at some time - did search for other suppliers for their 2D Core (which wasn't very well received).

However, that never really happened, looks like they dumped the plan (if existing) to improve the existing Rush design over their probably already existing Banshee design plans.

(I do like Wikipedia for alot of stuff, but I agree given Information must be verified when in doubt)
