I don't know a single person who had a 6MB 3Dfx Voodoo card back in the day, I know plenty of people with a 24GB VRAM card today. I don't think they (6MB 3Dfx) were even obtainable in my country at the time without special contacts. So by any measure, those cards were not really regular gamer level cards either.

They were defini6tely uncommon but 6MB Voodoos were only a little bit more than regular 4MB cards here in the USA. ~$350 instead of ~$300 I think. I knew approximately 6 or 7 people with 3D graphics cards back then. And 2 of us had the 6MB Voodoo cards. But then again it was just a very different time in 1997. Video games were already 20+ years old in the mainstream at that point. But the idea of buying a special "3D graphics card" for your PC was still pretty new. So if you were "crazy" enough to do that in the first place then spending another $50 on the "best" card was a fairly common decision.
