Voodoo2 Power Consumption:
According to available specifications and historical data:
key facts:
- Official TDP is listed as 15 W
- The card has no external power connector - it draws all power from the PCI slot.
- Real-world estimates from the retro community put a single Voodoo2 under load at roughly 10–15 W.
- In SLI (two cards), total power draw is typically around 20–30 W
The Voodoo2 was very power-efficient by modern standards. Even a dual-Voodoo2 SLI setup used less power than many low-end GPUs today.
