3Dfx Voodoo3 3000

Pros: 128bit graphics acceleration, descent rendering
Cons: technology is slightly old, price is a little high

The Voodoo3 3000 AGP was one of the first accelerator cards to combine 60 frames per second with a dual 32bit pipeline to give an exceptional gamers video card. This card supports resolutions up to 2046 X 1536. This card also comes with S-Video TV out...

Pros: Mediocre speed/ Price ratio, Works well on Linux and BeOS, Good for Glide based games
Cons: Middle of the road card, 16mb ram in a 32mb world, No frills at all, Poor visual quality, Product has a short lifespan until relative obsolescence, Better options out there, 3DFX should be stuck with a fork, 16 bit color depth in 3D

I am not so pumped about this Pixel Pump, which has been my main graphics squeeze for 9 months out of the last year. Hmm, where to begin. The Voodoo 3 is a boring, mediocre computer 2D/3D video card. 3dfx, the manufacturer of Voodoo 3 video cards, is a...

Pros: Dual 2D/3D with a 32-bit pipeline and 16MB SDRAM memory
Cons: Might be difficult to install

Last summer my friends talked me into trying out Everquest (read my other review for my opinion on that irritating game) and decided it was time to get a new 3dfx video card. I promptly ran out and got the 3dfx Voodoo3 PCI video card (my computer...

Pros: Fantastic graphics
Cons: Installation problems

We have a Compaq 5441 but bought the 17" monitor. We mainly bought it for use on the internet but my husband soon fell into the lure of online games such as Combat Flight Simulator.

Graphics were minimal and when Crimson Skies (a new...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: No support, 3dfx out of business

Update 6/25/03

I would obviously no longer recommend this product since 3dfx has gone out of business because it could not compete with the next generation video cards now offered by nVidia and ATI

Original review...

Pros: AGP X2, 2D is really good, TV out, 16MB SDRAM, 350MHz Of RAMDAC
Cons: The Factory Heatsink

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,...

Pros: Excellent graphics, and smooth transitions
Cons: only 16bit color(but not reallya con)

3DFX was the pioneers of accelerated 3d graphics cards with the original Voodoo line and followed by the Voodoo2 line, Voodoo3 , and to date the Voodoo4 and 5 line. 3DFX has been and still is amongst the main competitors in after market 3D graphic...

Pros: Great Gamers Card
Cons: Not enough to even bother listing

If you need to kick up your game play or supercharge your PCs overall performance this is the video card for you.

The Specs (courtesy of 3dfx.com) are as follows

General Features

Pros: Very Few Bugs. Was, Great.
Cons: No New Drivers. Outdated. Clashes With Heavy Computers.

I'm not an electronics professional or anything but I'm sure that you will find some pretty good information packed in this review. This card does deserve a 5 star rating but since they have been bought out there are no new drivers and it can't handle...

Pros: Cheap, PCI, Good quality
Cons: A bit dated

The Voodoo 3 is a very inexpensive card. You can pick up a Voodoo3 3000 for a little more than $100. Of course, it is not a top of the line card. Other cards in the same generation as the Voodoo 3, such as the TNT2 Ultra and the GeForce 256 simply...

Pros: Support for Linux, Good Frame rates, easy install
Cons: Costs more than some comparable cards

When looking for computer components, I tend to be a bit pickier than the average person. My requirements are probably also a bit different from the average person as well.

I set out to find a good video card to use in my system. I wanted to...

Pros: Good and fast gameplay at a budget price
Cons: None

OK, it's MAY of 2000 and the GeForce2 GTS cards are starting to come out. The next generation of 3DFX Voodoo cards will be out soon too. These video cards boast the latest and greatest features ever seen. There is only one problem with these...

Pros: PCI (!!!), great framerates, good support
Cons: Glide no longer "in", no 32 bit color

I was ready, willing, and able to purchase, own, and play a GeForce 256 card. I'd saved up enough extra money and was on my way to pricewatch.com to order a 3D Prophet and sell my Riva TNT on ebay.

Until I found out that my compaq 5304...

Pros: Solid performance and decent drivers
Cons: Older technology that can't keep up with current offerings

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy my Voodoo3 and it's a solid performer, but it is definitely last year's technology (if not older).

Besides its many hardware limitations (no 3D true colour capability, a max of 16MB RAM, no EMBM, etc.), its...

Pros: Great computer monitor graphics!
Cons: Resolution on the television is not the greatest.

The Voodoo3 3000 3D graphics card, in my opinion, is one of the best 3D cards on the market for computer gamers. It has 16 megabytes of video RAM, and is worth every penny u pay for it. I'm quite a heavy gamer, and this card has served me well. From...
