rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andycharger - Is it true that the 3Dfx range for the PCI slot is coming to an end?

I really hope not. NVIDIA bought out the company and have really just killed it off to give itself a bigger market share.

I do know that a lot of older machines are going to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author don_nigera - Basic Overview

3DFX has always been a "biggy" of the high-end market, more often then not thrashing all other graphics cards with ease. As of late, they have been trying to push there own ideas, not listening to what the consumers have been...

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP: Great for 3D games

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 13:31:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chrisuletz - I've been with Voodoo technologies for years, and 5500 is a major improvement. With its dual chips, and 64Mb of memory, it's a strong contender against GeForce, and I personally consider it better.

The speed of 3D games is impressive, and it...

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP: Everything I could ask for... a shame they went out of business :(

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Oh why, oh why, did they have to go out of business?!?!?!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 01:28:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fatboy18 - There's an amazing amount of bad press of the Voodoo5 around. Most of it I actually believed until I actually bought one.

Now, taking a little side trip, why would I buy a card I thought to be utter cr@p until a month ago?

It's very...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheEngine - By now most of us know that 3DFX has left the video retail market. After losing the graphics card wars to Nvidia, 3DFX's flagship, the 6000 never made it out. What their plans are now remains to be seen. Some say they will produce OEM products, video...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ManaKill - I finally had time and money to upgrade my video card, and ooh, I hit the mother load!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - I've been a 3dfx fan, but coupled with the not-very successful Voodoo 3 series, I must say that nVidia takes the crown again as the performance leader (sad to say) with the Geforce 2 GTS and Ultra...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Guerila - Finally a new product from 3dfx has come out. Costing around $260 it isn't a cheap graphics card but nothing top of the line is these days. The V5 5500 is 2 VSA-100 chips in one. Almost like SLI except in one card instead of 2. Each VSA-100 chip runs at...
