| Itztommy's Full Review: 3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 |
I just got done installing my new Voodoo 3 3000 AGP card. This card really kicks some a**. I can not belive how fast and smooth this card is. I am running on a PIII 550e FC-PGA with 192 Megs of ram. I did some benchmarks with Quake 3, Unreal Tourny, and Counterstrike. WOW, am I amazed. I was getting about 82 FPS in Q3. In UT I was getting just about the same. This really is no question for this card.
The default bus speed on the card is 166. Well I have bumped it up to 200. So there for I have Overclocked the Sh!t out of it. The card is running really cool. The only problem is the factory heatsink it came with. It just does not make the cut. I went out and got a Video card cooling fan. Its a Tennmax. If you do not OC your card, the factory heatsink should do just fine. I really am impressed by this card. I was kind of on a budget and had to get this card. I wanted the GeForce 256 GPU, but hey..... im not rich.
It supports just about every game out there on the shelves. The V3 also have a TV out. Which was a lot of fun. It wasnt the best quality, but it worked, and I was impressed!
Installation:
The installation on this card was a snap. Had no problems at all. I just shutdown my comp, opened up the case and poped it in. It was also really easy to install the drivers. No problems there at all. The software for this card is great. The TV out software is really easy to use. I had it up and running in no time.
Features:
- Digital Video Port
- 350 MHz RAMDAC
- 16 MB SDRAM
- AGP X2
- TV/S-Video Out
- SVGA
- 7 Million Triangles/sec.
- 333 Megatexels/sec.
- Very High-Resolution 2D/3D
So if you are looking for a AGP card that does not cost to much cash, take a look at the Voodoo 3 3000. It's really worth the cash, and will last you for a pretty good while.
