Customer Review: is just one enough?
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product for 1 month ago.It really increased the 3d performance of my machine and give a nice tone colour to my monitor.And it is an advantage that glide is just being supported by this 3dfx chip.But Card has some problems also.First of all it is not a real 2d card. Frame rates (fps) decreases in 1024*768 specially in need for speed. tnt2 ultra has a better performance in need for speed.But i do not know is this problem depend on vodoo3 or my 64 mgbyte ram.But i advise to all buyers that select an nvidia chipset card for your agp slot and buy a pci version of voodoo3 to increase 3d performance.Customer Review: Despite it's age it can very much hold it's own!

I bought a Voodoo3 3000 PCI some time ago and then upgraded to a Voodoo5 5000 - This was great but my new machine does not support it - so I put back in my old PCI Voodoo3 expecting a real let down and I can tell you it's a pleasant suprise, Quake 3, Unreal, Alien v Predator, Star Trek Armada II and Kingpin are just some of the games I use and they run superbly - No juddering, freezing or glitching just smooth good quality action.Now 3dfx has been bought out by nVidia look at the ... site for excellent new drivers which keep this amazing card bang up to date.
Customer Review: Looks good but watch out for stability/compatibility issues.
Summary: 4 Stars
This card gave me no end of grief when I upgraded my motherboard. After much swearing and wasted time I discovered that the MB wasn't compatible with it. Make =sure= yours is before installing.That said, I hated to give it up, it looked so good and ran so smoothly. It's not cutting edge by any means--wasn't even really when it was first released--but price/performance-wise it can't be beat. (I replaced it with a TNT Ultra which never looked as good or, it seemed to me, ran as fast.)
Customer Review: Suspicous reviews
Summary: 4 Stars
Somehow I find the other reviews suspicious in their intent. Either they are excellent or poor. In my opinion, the V3 holds its own with the other cards out there (including TNT2). It does support all the APIs, contrary to what another reviewer mentioned. But it does not support 32 bit color (although all others card on the market which support 32 bit color take a severe performance hit when used at that color depth). I think this card is an excellent value at the price listed.Customer Review: All-around quality
Summary: 4 Stars
The current batch of Voodoo 3 cards have been hit hard for supporting only 16-bit color. Few games support higher this year and the few that do, Quake3, look only marginally better. No photo-realistic 3d action games exist. While the latest TNT card is slightly faster, the bottom line is a there is no game that will not run on your Voodoo3 card. The textures tend to look blurry on Voodoo cards, some prefer it; others hate it. (I got used to it)
