3dfx - What do YOU think?

[Rys]

I spent £99 grabbing a Guillemot V1 with the 50ns EDO memory, the fastest V1 on the market at the time.

I fed it to my P166MMX with 64MB and I don't think I left my bedroom for weeks, GLQuake was simply awesome. Uni work definitely suffered in 1996 because of 3dfx

Happy days.

I remember the voodoo1 magazine advert. A before and after picture of lara croft... i was like OMG her boobs ARN'T triangles anymore! This was back in the day when i was reading PC Gamer and forcing my dad to get a decent pc instead of me being stuck with the 486 and amiga! Then he got a P200MMX, 64Mb and the world of PCs was opened to me!

heh had a good of voodoo1 in the form of a diamond 3dMAX, then moved to voodoo2..god carmageddon looked good in 3DFX mode =) an GL quake..my fonebill rose stupidly cos of that an wireplay.. I had a voodoo3 after that, and kept it right till their demise Shame that they went really, I'd still be buying their cards now if it wasnt for nvidia buying them out

Half-Life + Voodoo 3 + OpenGL Miniport = 99fps

The Voodoo 3 is the only card I've ever bought that actually exeeded my expectations.

I can remember my 2 Voodoo 2's in SLI mode. Made HL run like a dream

[Spunkey]

as above Voodoo3 was the daddeh of its time. i remember being the only person at my school who could play quake3 @ 1280 at a playable framerate.

still got my V3 3000AGP, although it now powers my parents oversized paperweight

My Matrox Mystique 2Mb card was quite good for the games bundled with it - Moto Cross and Tomb Raider I think - but when paired up with the Diamond Monster 3D I was amazed at the "blurring" effect in Quake

I went up through the Voodoo2 and Voodoo3 3000 range too, before going into the nVidia range, starting at the GeForce2 MX 32Mb - who on Earth could need that much memory on a graphics card?

ahh remember my VooDoo3 2000 very fondly, GREAT card that was..

The Voodoo 1's certainly had the 'wow' factor when they came out. I was on a P200MMX with a 4 meg Matrox Mystique and an Orchid Rightous Voodoo card ... PC gaming would never be the same once you saw Quake in open GL

/prays at 3dfx alter

voodoo... quake... ooohh babeh takes me back

[0iD]

Hell yeah, I loved Voodoo cards. They were the mutt's nuts at the time. Still have a Voodoo1 & Voodoo3 somewhere...

[Gordy]

I had a voodoo 3000 agp card it roxord

[Nick]

Ahh vooodoooooo

I forked out hundreds for twin Voodoo 2's specifically to run in SLI mode... imagine how gutted I was when I found out my monitor DIDN'T support 1024x768!!!

[Stubzz]

Currently have a Vodoo3 2000 and 3000, I don't particually love 3DFX since I got into computers too late for them. But those 2 cards where no slouches.

[Tumble]

I had a voodoo 1, a voodoo 2 and a voodoo 3000... they were ace until me GeForce 2 card slapped it... although finding drivers was difficult sometimes... it was worth it in the end
