Maybe because of this?

"A typical Voodoo Graphics PCI expansion card consisted of a DAC, a frame buffer processor and a texture mapping unit, along with 4 MB of EDO DRAM. The RAM and graphics processors operate at 50 MHz. It provided only 3D acceleration and as such the computer also needed a traditional video controller for conventional 2D software."

"The Voodoo2 required three chips and a separate VGA graphics card"

(From the 3dfx wiki).
