Customer Review: HOLY SCHNIKEYS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit skeptical when I put my money down on this product, but believe me, the results are worth it. My computer came pre-intstalled with an ATI Rage Pro video card which I was perfectly content with. I never had any real problems and all the games looked good to me. That was until I bought a game that would not work without a 3D accelerator, so that was when I bought the Voodoo 3. I was worried that I was wasting my money just to use it to play one stinking game, but I was proved wrong. After I went through the simple installation process when I got home, I popped in the game that wouldn't previously work, but sure enough, it worked, and it worked great. Then I performed a little test. I put in the game NHL 99 which I played a lot with my old card and tryed it with my Voodoo. I could not believe what I saw. The players were infinitely sharper, their reflections now appeared crystal clear on the ice as opposed to cheesy shadows before, the detail of the arena could have been confused with a real life image of an arena, and my hockey players moved as if they had suddenly come to life. It was all as if this was a real hockey game and minurature players where being payed to live and play in my computer. I then put in game after game that I had played before and each time I grew even more satisfied that I had chosen the Voodoo 3 3000. If you are looking for a good price, easy installation, and superior graphics, look no further than the 3DFX Voodoo.Customer Review: Still a pretty decent card

First of all, this is not the End-all video card. But it does combine good price and performance and the best supported drivers in the gaming world (one should expect this as 3dfx basically created the 3D accelerator market). This card runs HalfLife : CounterStrike Mod with the WickedGL(.com) drivers at around 20-50 FPS, which is extremely playable (On a 500Mhz K6-2, 64MB RAM). But when I used it (after a FlashBIOS update) with my G4/400, performance was lacking in Quake3. This card runs neck and neck with a Rage 128 Pro AGP in the Mac world. I suspect the drivers and the somewhat dated hardware are to blame. I'm going to get a Radeon for my G4, and a GeForce II MX for my PC in the future. This was a great video card a year ago, but it's starting to show its age. If you really can't afford the extra ... for a GeForce II MX, this is a decent video card.Customer Review: Fast, compatible and cheap!

I've had my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP for more than a year now, and I'm very satisfied with it.Right now it's overklocked from 166 to 190Mhz, and it runs just great, especially when playing games at 800x600, it just screams.
It's compatibility is impressing. It's very rare to see a game created after 1998 that won't work with the Voodoo3. Doesn't matter if it's glide, OpenGL or Direct3D. The drivers are updated every once in a while and are well written.
The pricetag on this baby is a happy sight for a lot of wannabe-gamers that can't afford to cough up over $250 for a graphics card.
If you're on a tight budget and want excellent performance at resolutions up to 1024x728, you can't go wrong here.
This could be to 3Dfx what the Volvo Amazon was to Volvo...people are so satisfied with it that they didn't want to/need to upgrade.
Customer Review: This card is liquid smooth, fast and value wise unbeatable!!

The Vodoo 3 3000 eats up the RIVA TNT, SAVAGE 4 and all other 3D cards in the same price range. In Quake II at 1028 x 768, I was getting 40 frames per second but in comparison to that I'm know getting a mind-boggling 85 fps (on a Pentium II 300 with 98 MB RAM) !!! The bottom line is that if you don't want to shell out too much cash on a 3D card (as things seem to change in the computer world every other day) but don't want to compromise on performance, the Vodoo 3 3000 is the best you'll get!!Customer Review: Multiplayer enthusiast

This card is so easy to install and start running I thought I was dreaming. Compared to the ATI Rage Fury card I have recently purchased and had much trouble and reliability with, the Voodoo3 3000 is a godsent. For everyone who has an AMD cpu and Super7 motherboard, get the Voodoo card instead of the Rage Fury, you will save yourself alot of money and headache. Plus this card has the same latency and just as good graphics as the Rage Fury for less money.
