The Super FX 2 overcame speed and maximum memory size limits of the original chip. The newer version ran at 21.477 MHz and could address 16Mbits by default.
The Super FX chip added $10 to the price of each cartridge manufactured. This was a concern that convinced most developers to avoid using it.
In the game Winter Gold (FX Skiing), the Super FX 2 us used to render a 3D environment but also to render full screen movies as backgrounds. However, not both simultaneously.
