The reason I only gave this card a 3 out of 5 stars, is that it seems to lack the power that is needed in todays games. It really is a great card though, extremly well made! Its a 3DFX, and I think they make exceptional products. For games as half life and such, it does a BEAUTIFUL job, but for Q3, it doesn't quite have the buffering power. It also doesn't have 32 bit color. I wouldn't say a GeForce is any better either, I don't think they are that well made. I'd wait another month or so for 3DFX's Voodoo4 and 5.
Rating: - Because the rating should equal that of the V3 3000 and 2000
I noticed that there was an unhappy customer for this card, comparing it to the GeForce cards. As I agree with most of what is said, I also would like to point out that Glide is not... that's "not"... on its way out. Please, the fact that it is only supported by one chipset? And how many video cards run this chipset? Yah, tha's what I thought :)
Anyways, yes, the GeForce does outperform a Voodoo 3 card. It also costs $100 or more over a voodoo 3 card. But, the Voodoo 3 card outperforms the GeForce cards in OpenGl. Period. Check all the reviews :) This card is for me, and will be a happy addition to my puter's case.
Please take note on the user's review commenting on the likeness of Voodoo3 to SoundBlaster. Only one company runs that chipset as well and has been THE leader ever since they showed up. I could only wish the Voodoo 4 was out already!
Rating: - Best Card on the market
I just bought this card, and it's great! The graphics beat any on the market, and with the TV Tuner and FM support, it's the best deal out there.
Rating: - It's fast but....
I have this card and a GeForce 256 (Creative And Gullimot both have cards) based card, and head to head the GeForce kills this card. Image Quality vs Speed, The GeForce 256 chipset runs away with the "perfect" blend between beauty and Frames per Second. Most GeForce cards are around 250-300 dollars, and they support 32bit color, T&L support, OpenGL and D3D (forget Glide, according to most software devolpers this is on way out, because only one chipset supports it), and as far as overclock ability, you dont need to this card has a 256 bit processor, not a 128 like the voodoo cards. This is simply my opion take it as such, I own both cards on two exact machines, and i dont think the Voodoo 3 is worth the money for hard core gamers.
