Okay, the performance and features are pretty incredible. But the tv and fm (fm only available on some cards not all) - ho hum. I'm not one for these cards that put a lot of features onto one board. It has been my experience that this usually means that it does nothing well and everything poorly. However, I have not used this card extensively for tv and fm radio so I cannot comment on those features. What I can tell you about is its 3D performance which is very good. It had no trouble running the highest resolution that I can set my monitor to (1600x1200 at 32 bit true color) and did a beautifully job rendering scenes from Quake, Doom, and Driver. As ...

I bought the 3500 thinking it would solve two problems, my old grpahics card was rubbish and I needed a TV. I bouhgt one and when i recieved it was astounded by how big the purple cable was. I find it very hard to bend so it then pulls out of the socket and the display goes. the other problem is that when I try to view the TV with updated drivers the sound goes after 2 seconds. After various calls to technical help they advised me to install it from fresh and just use the old drivers. In general the card is good for perofrmance but the TV side of the card lets it down. ...

www.3dfx.com This is your basic AGP Voodoo3 3000 with TV Tuner and has been tweaked to be just a bit faster. Resolutions - like most cards of this ilk, up to 2046x1536. Colour depth 16bit. Onboard RAM 16MB Its main 'Extra feature' is Video Capture. It comes with an adequate video capture application that allows input via TV arial, SVideo or phono. (See 3DFX web site for an updated capture App.) TV output is also possible, providing a fairly stable, but slightly flickery/fuzzy picture at a maximum resolution of 800x600 on a TV screen. Unfortunatly you can't have monitor and TV at the same time, which is a bit of ... Read the complete review

This really is a super quality card. I previously had a 3Dfx Creative Voodoo Banshee but was amzed at the diffrence a small upgrade can make !!! Frame rates in Hlaf-Life can be as high as and over 100 !!! This card will run any game perfectley smooth whether it be Quake III or Pacman! Its not too an expensive card and i have found little or no compatablity issues with this card, and the drivers support are being constantly updated all the time via the 3DFx website :-) Excellent stuff. ...

I have had the Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP for a few weeks now and I am somewhat impressed with the results. Specifications Max resolution = 2046*1536 @ 75 MHz refresh rate 8 Million Triangles Per second Core clock 183 MHz RAM DAC 350 MHz API support DirectX, Glide and OpenGL RAM 16 MB As you can see it is quite powerful, However it is getting on a bit. It has very sharp graphics and not many glitches like the Nvidia chipsets are renown for. One of the most important things about the 3DFX cards are the compatibility, almost all the game that are released support this card. I have tested this card with a computer running ...
