The 'Avenger' graphics core was originally conceived immediately after Banshee. Due to mis-management by 3dfx, this caused the next-generation 'Rampage' project to suffer delays which would prove to be fatal to the entire company. Avenger was pushed to the forefront as it offered a quicker time to market than the already delayed Rampage. Avenger was thus merely a Voodoo2 with an integrated bit 2D video accelerator and twice the clock speed. Much was made of Voodoo3 christened 'Avenger' and its bit color rendering limitation.

This was in fact quite complex, as Voodoo3 operated to full bit precision 8 bits per channel, To save framebuffer space, the Voodoo3's rendering output was dithered to 16 bit. This offered better quality than running in pure bit mode. However, a controversy arose over what happened next. The Voodoo3's RAMDAC, which took the rendered frame from the framebuffer and generated the display image, performed a 2x2 box or 4x1 line filter on the dithered image to almost reconstruct the original bit color render.

The internal organisation of Avenger was not complex. Pre-setup notably featured a guardband clipper eventually part of hardware transformation and lighting but the pixel pipeline was a conventional single-issue, dual-texture design almost identical to that featured on Voodoo2, but capable of working on bit image data as opposed to Voodoo2's pure bit output. Avenger's other remarkable features included the bit GDI accelerator debuted in Banshee.

This 2D engine led the Voodoo3 to be considered one of the more high-performance video cards of its generation. The Voodoo3 , and differed mainly in clock frequencies memory and core were synchronous. While this gave the and a notable theoretical advantage in multi-textured fillrate over its main rival, the TNT2 clocked at MHz, the TNT2 had nearly twice the single-textured fillrate of the Voodoo3.

In addition, the Voodoo3 consisted of one multi-texturing pipeline, the TNT series consisted of twin single texturing pipelines.
