3dfx Voodoo3 2000

Let me start by saying that my old 166 used to be TERRIBLE. Now, with the addition of my 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI, it has been miraculously transformed into a super system. It runs quake2 at over 200 Frames a second at 800x600 with 32 bit color. Even a geforce 256 can only manage an average of 52 FPS on an AMD Athlon 800Mhz. As if that wasn't enough, it plays Quake 3 at 30 FPS at 640x480, 16Bpp color and Bilinear Filtering. What an achievment. Windows has never been as quick as it is now, and color qulity and vibrance has never been better. I have overclocked the card from 143Mhz/143Mhz (core/memory) all the way up too 200/200, and the card has been as stable as ever. ...  Read the complete review

After the exelent success of the VooDoo 1 and 2 graphics cards, the voodoo 3 was a must for me to buy...unfortunatelly. I plugged the graphics card in, and plugged in its oh-so-many heavy cables, and off I went. Amazed for a month or so at how good it was.. untill things went topsy-turvy. Games looking rather strange for example.. This card has a serious lack of blending oparations available to it.. and the ones it cant do, it guesses at.. and dosent guess to well. Walls with objects layered wrong.. solid windows.. warped light-maps. All things you dont expect for such a price!! I put up with this tho. The card comes with some amazing software ...  Read the complete review

I have always been partial to 3dxf video cards, right from the beginning when they first emerged with the original 4MB Voodoo video board. State of the art it was, leaving most other 3D accelerator cards tailing behind. 3dfx’s lead was kept up with the Voodoo 2, but things where not quite so rosy when the Voodoo 3 appeared. Running mainly against Nvidia’s TNT2 chipset the Voodoo 3 received fair criticism for only having 16MB of ram and being restricted to 16bit colour rendering for 3D. The 16MB of ram was adequate at the time and few computers had cpu’s capable of adequately running games in 32bit colour, but what was once a pioneering ...  Read the complete review

I have used a lot of graphics cards in my job as a IT support officer and most are ok but once in a while there is a piece of equipment that is totally brilliant and Voodoo 3 2000 AGP was exactly that. It performs very well in all areas I have tested and it supports a very wide range of drivers from Win95+98+ME+NT+2000 not forgetting Linux. I am a very keen online games player and playing quake 3 online is not a problem. BUT!! The only bad thing is the companys future looks thin. So the future of 3DFX is out of there hands. ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP in the middle of last year, about July. I got home, opened my case, pulled out my tired old 4MB 2D card and slotted in my new Voodoo beast. I started the computer up and everything installed quite straightforwardly. First things first I set up the desktop and the resolution, I noticed that there were quite a few extra settings to choose from. Then I started to play a game and OH MY GOD it was unbelieveable. The graphics from the card are excellent. I paid only £49.99 for the card and yet whilst I fully realise that you can get better cards for the money it's unbeatable value for money! The 3D capabilities of ...  Read the complete review
