My first Voodoo card. GLQuake rocked, lasted for years until my voodoo3 took over, that one is still going strong in my linux box. 3DFX gone but not forgotten.

I still have yet to see a completely credible review where it wipes the floor with the competition, as some seem to think... But whatever.Quote:

Let's not start guys ;).
But back on topic... my favorite card Ive owned is definately my 9700PRO. Mainly because I havent seen such a performance increase in a single card transition. Ive gone from GF2MX's>>>GF2GTS......... up to a GF4TI4600>>>Radeon 9700PRO. And wow... no jump was larger than the last one! These cards are REALLY that fast! :eek:
Wasn't gonna. I'm not much for video card debates -- I'll buy whatever is the best for the buck. Well, I guess less noise is a good factor too :) (j/k)Quote:

Damn straight :D Using AA and AF without losing tons of performance is finally a reality too. That's the best part, IMO.Quote:

I loved my V2 until I saw Quake2 on my Riva ZX 8MB, even though it did not perform as well as my V2 Quake2 looked so much better.
Voodoo 3 3000 without any doubt , the card rocked in UT and all gamez i trow in , especialy glide sims, the second best card i owned is Hercules Geforce2 64 mb , a dream overclocker , nice layout , blue pcb, memory heatsinks , i was realy impressed when i bought the card in year 2000 i think , i bought this for Q III , to bad i did not liked the game.
my Hercules Prophet II GTS 64 meg....its a killer card, have not been disappointed with it at all, and it STILL r0x0rs to this day.
Let me add another opinion. back in 1999 I wanted a 3-d card to run quake3 and other games which my onboard 2 meg card didnt cut at all. First I got a sis 4 meg but the IQ was terrible in both 2d and 3d also I read it does not even support openGL so I returned it and got the $30 I paid from compusa(not sure) it was $50-20 rebate. Then I got a stealth III pci but it didnt work right in my comp, back it went. I was thinking of a voodoo3 2000 pci cause my friends had one also I heard its great for slower computers and they were everywhere but the lack of 32 bit color and slow oGL performance drew me to the tnt which had 32 bit color and faster GL. I dont get glide though but paid $50 for that tnt pci while the voodoo3 2k was $100 in stores. tnt was a great card, used it for 2 years till a $50 geforce2 mx which I used for another 2 years till my ti500 then got a ti4600(resold) then a ti4200 which ill keep till 2007 :)
My G400Max... First time I saw the EBM in Drakan I was floored.. and once I patched the OGL It ran Q3 maxed out with eye-popping color saturation...
Still have it, in my workstation at work and dual monitors rock!
