DaMulta, you better post some bench's with that 3dfx 5500!

---

agreed! :toast:





nice to see the 3DFX loyalist communities keeping the faith . . . that, IMO, says a lot about the VooDoo lineup, and it's effects on the hardware market.

Who woulda thought, almost 8 years after nVidia dropped 3DFX support entirelly, and 2 major OS releases, that driver packages would continue to be released for these cards.

If I still had a working AGP board, I'd half consider firing mine up as well!

Didn't the 3dfx staff go to nvidia ?

Are these cards really that good that people still use them? :confused:

I want to see some benches on current day applications/games.

I think what made 3Dfx was 3Dfx was who they wanted to be. They had their own API Glide, and didn't care if they kicked the snot out of all the other competitors. At the time I don't remember anyone buying anything but 3Dfx, and if they did you would just smile. They would say 32bit color, and you would look and see chop chop chop frame rates(hehe).

If they were here today, MS would not have Xbox(IMO) PC Gaming would be a lot more popular than it is now. I bet the 3Dfx guys at N, and over at AMD still smile about what they did to this day.

Just think TNT2 after 3Dfx...o boy....The only card I kinda liked after that was S3, and that was only because you could read the words when you hooked it up to a TV.


Their downfall from what I have read was living the high life to much.

Ok p2 machine crashed and is being reinstalled.

I have a few games to install and try out. BEFORE I'm gong to F this card up....unless erocker beggs me not to do it LOL. I have all the tools ready to go go:)

I founds a P4 1.4Ghz today with board:)

New slots will only do 1.5v in AGP and not the 3.3v needed. SOOOO you have to do this little mod along with cutting out the center of an AGP slot. I have a 1.4 P with a AGP slot ready to go!!!!!

:) BIG GRIN

Dude, I have an old system that will run that card if yours if fubar'd.:D

Yea, but do you have a p4 board that does AGP8 and ging the full 3.3v. Most are only around 1.5v an fare as I have seen.

It's a P4, and all I know is the tab fits into the slot.:laugh:

I thought I read somewhere that, some of the 3DFX crew went to ATI,, & that's about the time ATI started to give Nvidia a fight. if thats true then the ATI cards today have a little 3DFX in them.
