Rating: - Couldn't get it to work, can't get support
This MAY be a great card, but for the life of me I couldn't get it to work. My system has an integrated graphics adapter; I couldn't get the VooDoo3 3000 card to run in anything except VGA mode. Now for the kicker, I went to their web site and it seems 3dfx is no longer in business. Their FTP site to download updated drivers seems to have vanished...
Rating: - Good Product
With the ever moving computer market, it is hard to have the "best" video card at your time of purchase, but i feel this product has fit me well. With its 16 MB, it will play most hard-core 3D games with no problems...I have one complaint though - I bought this because there was a rebate promotion, and they did not honor it because i sent in a printer-printed copy of my receipt, which they did not accept, so i lost out on (the rebate). Not amazon's fault, just make sure if there is a rebate, have Amazon send you an official receipt with your order to ensure you get your rebate. So i give it 4 out of 5 because the rebate people at 3DFX suck.
Rating: - Blazing Performance
I upgraded to the Voodoo3 from a Voodoo1 on my non-AGP K6-2 366. Instantly, I was able to go from losing frames and suffering from lag induced control problems in Need for Speed:High Stakes to tearing up the tracks with silky smooth graphics and all the bells and whistles enabled.
I haven't found the 16-bit color limitation in 3-D mode to be noticeable in gaming environments. The card loses a star simply because there are cards out there with better image quality. However, this card easily makes up for that loss in value.
All in all, I got exactly what I was looking for: great performance at a great price in a machine that is past it's prime.
Rating: - One of the Best 2D/3D PCI Video cards
I bought this video card because I wanted better frame rates when I played Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2. I have an AMD K6-200 processor and did not want to upgrade at this time. The VooDoo3 card did the trick. The MSCFS 2 plays very well now, even with the sky full of airplanes. The install was simple and I used the latest video drivers for the card from 3Dfx. No problem. Also I had read that the card became hot to the touch during use but this is not true. Warm yes, but not hot. However, I do not over clock anything. I simply replaced my old ATI card with this great card and that was it. All my programs are running correctly and the 3D games are flying! If you want to buy a fast 2D/3D PCI video card, this is the card to get.
