Customer Review: RJ Watford of Cleveland, Ohio
Summary: 2 Stars
The product is easy to install but I was not particularly impressed with the display clarity on the television. I also had to spend quite a bit of time reseting my monitor after the install process. Finally, the written instructions were okay but could have been better, i.e. written for rookies and veterans.Customer Review: An old card
Summary: 2 Stars
Tecnologically, this card is out of date. Spend your money for a new generation card. If you are one of those Voodoo fans, at least try the new series.Customer Review: Not as advertised
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the card so my son could run several of his newergames. Th instructions were less than complete and gave theimpression a monkey could install the thing without giving it a second thought. After following the 5 steps in the little booklet that accompanied the board, I was horrified to find the machine now ran much slower and took 3 times as long to boot up.I called tech support at 3DFX and waited 37 minutes to talk to a young woman who was clueless. She told me the registry was corrupted during the installation process. She emailed me a set of 44 steps to edit the system registry. I explained it really seemed the board was defective and that was why it was so slow. It seemed the CPU on the PC was now having to do its normal processing and also doing the rendering of the graphics. She said no and I spend the next 90 minutes completing the 44 steps. This was a waste of time. I called back and waited 87 minutes for a young man to answer. He had me move the DVD card to a new PCI slot and download new drivers for the motherboard. He assured me this was the problem. He was wrong.
Amazon is sending a replacement board and hopefully this will correct the problem. The board has not been what it was cracked up to be and the "Service" from 3DFX was/is terrible. Once they have your money, they do not appear to care about providing any level of acceptable service to the customer.
I would not recommend the board or the company that makes it. There are plenty of 3D boards out there. Check into the others before putting your hard earned money down on this turkey. END
