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...
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
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: 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...
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.
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...
Pros: Fast! Great 2d performance and high color depth at large resolutions Cons: 16 bpp (bits per pixel) color depth on games.
Back in the early days of 3D graphics on the home PC, the original 3Dfx Voodoo 1 was King. That was 2 generations ago for graphics card manufacturers. At that time, 3Dfx blew away the competition, and while the competition is now very fierce, 3Dfx...
Pros: Fast gameplay, excellent 3d 2d and DVD picture quality. Cons: limited to 16 bit color depth in 3d apps.
First off, let me say that I have owned this card for several months. I bought it in November of '99 I believe. It has several immediate advantages over its predecessors, the predecessors being the Voodoo Banshee and the Voodoo2.
Pros: Price, previous Glide support. D3D support. Cons: Everything else. The card is slow, outdated, just a souped up version of the Voodoo2 and definitly not worth it.
I have owned many types of computers with many types of graphic cards. I actually bought the original Voodoo 1 card from Orchid and I loved it at the time. Then the voodoo 2 came out and I bought one from Wicked 3D. Now the Voodoo 3 ate up my money...
Pros: Good performance and an excellent value Cons: Not cutting edge, no additional ports
This Voodoo doesn't have you under any spell...
3DFX has established itself in the past as a high end graphics company with the introduction of its Voodoo (later Voodoo 1) based graphics accelerator pass-through cards several years ago....
I built my own computer recently, and after talking to basically every computer guy I could find, I decided the Voodoo3 3000 was the card for me. Believe me, I wasn't disappointed.
16 megs of video RAM make for smooth, extremely fast graphic...
Pros: Low Cost, Glide Support Cons: 16-bit Color Depth
Let me start by saying that the Voodoo 3 was not my first choice when it came time to buy a video card. I had originally planned on getting a TNT 2 Ultra back in February when I was in the process of finishing the computer I was building. The TNT 2's...
Pros: High Speed/Great compatibility Cons: Horrendous documentation/card runs a bit hot
Well, lets first start off saying this. I first bought the V5 5500 AGP. Come to find out, my model of motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7IXE) has a AGP voltage problem. Always has. ARRRRRGH. Thus screwing me out of any GOOD AGP card until I replace the board. So...
Pros: fast, gorgeous visuals; cheap and reliable Cons: not the cutting edge
It seems that the Voodoo3 3000 has taken a lot of heat about a lot of things--image quality, missing 32bit color, etc. And now with the GeForce cards being touted around as the fastest, prettiest framerate pumps today, I guess most people have pretty...
Pros: quick install, great 3D rendering Cons: not much to tweak out of the box, documentation in box scarse
I spent three weeks researching video cards and finally came to a decision on the Voodoo3 3000 for two reasons. First, it is probably the best gaming card made for PCI right now, and second, I got it on sale!
Pros: Fast, supports Glide as well as OpenGL and DirectX Cons: Only 16 bpp color, poor DirectX drivers for NT
Note - I've added an update at the bottom (Feb 9th, 2000).
Let me say that I haven't always been a 3dfx supporter. They've done some bad things (like try to make Glide, their proprietary programming interface, the industry standard). Their...
Pros: Performs to the top of the line Cons: None thus far
ou start up your computer, and decide to play that new game you just bought, only to see a small screen pop up, saying, you do not have a 3d Graphics card. Well that is what happened to me. Then I bought the 3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 card.
Pros: Was at one time on the top Cons: Very Slow, Runs Hot and does not support AGP Texturing, only 16 MB Ram 16 Bit color depth...too many to describe
TIME FOR THE TRASH - I SECOND IT
This is definitely one of those video cards that I would not even allow my enemies to buy. I really do not know what 3Dfx was thinking when they made this card. I mean, come on 16 bit color depth in a 32 bit...
Pros: Easy setup, good support. Cons: Performance, no heat sink fan.
Okay, I have to confess that I originally purchased this card mainly because I needed the boost and I had a limited budget. I would recommend that anyone in the same position do the same, or perhaps get some of the now cheaper TNT2s'.
Pros: Great Price, Good Performance Cons: Only 16 MB RAM
When I built myself a new system a couple of months ago, I labored to search out the best components and the best value for my dollar. I regularly play games, surf the web, access e-mail, ICQ and AOL IM concurrently, and wanted a stable system that was a...
Pros: Excellent card for it's price. Fast gaming. T.V. Out!! Cons: Only 16 bit support for 3d instead of 32
The Voodoo 3 3000 agp is a great video card. They are a very good price and they are well worth it. If you don't have enough money to buy one of those really expensive video card's this one is for you.
Pros: Inexpensive, Not as CPU intensive as other chipsets Cons: 16 Bit rendering, Lack of a true AGP implementation
In the rapidly changing world of computer hardware, many manufacturers are put to the ultimate test of keeping up with technology, or finding themselves in bankruptcy court. My experiences with 3dfx products initially started with the Voodoo2 line of...
Pros: Good for gaming, sharp picture, fast Cons: only 16MB of ram,
With 3dfx releasing its new Voodoo's the Voodoo3 can be easily forgotten. While not as powerful as the Voodoo5 and having only 16MB of SD-RAM the voodoo3 is for people who are not doing complicated tasks such as video editing were 16MB of Ram is not...
I got the Voodoo3 sound card installed into my system a while back as part of a general update to my system. Right from the start, I got a good deal. It was listed (on the shelf) at Best Buy for $99. I cringed a little when I saw that because I had...
Pros: cheap 3d/2d card, runs fast, good quality 3d Cons: only 16mb of ram, only supports 16bit color for 3d, there are better cards out there
When I first got this card I thought "right on... another kick ass 2d/3d card from 3DFX!!" When i first got it out of the box and installed it I was almost giddy from excitement. After I installed it I played around with the driver settings...
Pros: great frames per second, low cost compared to the newer video cards and still deliver almost the same quality Cons: can't think of any cons
The Voodoo 3 3000 is the best video card out there, for the money. Voodoo video cards are respected and have a great history of providing quality video cards.
I have an AMD K-6 500 chip with 128 megs of PC100 ram and every game I play runs...
When this card came out, it was definitely considered to be a bad (as in good) card. The box alone was enough to put the fear into some people's hearts (maybe).
I would say that it did an excellent job replacing my previous card that I had at...
Pros: Very fast, inexpensive, good game support. Cons: Minor instabilities, lack of 32 bit color.
You can't argue with a couple of things. 3Dfx has the best game support and they really know how to go fast. The Voodoo3 3000 scores big in both categories. Especially that fast thing...
The graphics are just awesome. For 2D you get a rock...
Pros: Cheap, fast, overclockable Cons: Only 16 bit color in d3d, no bump mapping
A few months ago I set out to get myself a decent video card that would do decent 3D for gaming. I wanted to play Half Life, Unreal Tournament, etc. Plus I wanted to play regular 2D games like Ultima Online, Age of Empires II. After looking at all the...
WOW! This is a good video card if you are looking for a good quality 3d accelerator, at a moderate price. If you play games such as Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, or any other game that requires good hardware acceleration this card is a must get for...
Pros: Real fast and intense Cons: 16 megs sometimes can slow ya down may have to run csandisk after everytime gaming
What ya have to know is what they have put out in the past and what they have to offer. OpenGL and also 3DFX. These are the majors in 3d graphics. You cant go out and just buy any 3d card for the reason so many companies are trying to make there money...
3DFX has a proud history in Silicon Valley. Although they didn't produce the original 3d graphics accelerator chip (S3 with the Virge claims that fame), they did popularize the niche with the amazing Voodoo Graphics board. The heir to the legacy of the...
Pros: Smooth Fast Graphics Cons: A better heatsink if overclocking
I just got finished replacing my old pci video card with this voodoo 3000 and i can really feel the difference. I've upgraded my video card several times and i can definately tell you this is the best you can get for your money. It features a 350mhz...
Pros: Good price for quality, Doesn't require a power machine, Better than a 2D card Cons: Not as good as some of the newer ones
I have been using the 3DFX VooDoo 3 for a year now and have found it to be a great 3D accelerator designed purely for game speed. It drops some of the niceties of the other more expensive cards and goes for raw speed. The Voodoo 3 with it's relatively...
Pros: awesome graphics Cons: its compatibility with intergrated motherboards
Ok look i know very little about video memory and chip sets and things of that nature, but i do own a voodoo3 3000 pci card. What i can tell you is that it was very simple to install and the software went in without a hitch. The graphics that this...
Pros: faster than a monkey on crack, looks nicer than the Mona Lisa Cons: ...could power a nuclear submarine with the heat in generates
A while back I got meself a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000. I don't know what compelled me to pick it up but I did. Maybe it was the purty box. It had some nice features like s-video out and alpha-blending, but I think the biggest selling point was that it came with...
Pros: Fast, Glide Support, TV-OUT, Cheap Cons: No 32-bit Support, Not That Great Image Quality
Before you by a Voodoo3 card you should no that it doesn't have as many features as the TNT2, such as 32-bit color depth. But what it does have is speed. It's faster than the closely priced TNT2 ($150), but slightly not as fast as the more expensive TNT2...
Pros: Good setup and Drivers Cons: no 32 bit color, Glide going out of fashion
the Voodoo 3 3000, no question it had speed. The card was fast, fast enough to cope with all the games that could be thrown at it. But the card has its problems, firstly the fact it can only do 24 bit colour, maybe not top of your priority lists but I...
Pros: not bad for its age Cons: can do a lot better for a similar amount of money
The Voodoo3 3000 was the middle 16 Mb version of the then new offering from 3dfx, the Voodoo 3. The distinguishing features between the different models of the Voodoo 3 range ie 2000,3000,3500 were basically a quicker chipset as you move up and also the...
If you're looking for a great 3d card for not TOO TOO much money, this is the one for you! It works great and turns not so good games into great ones. I bought it even though I only own a few computer games and it was definitely well worth it! It...
Pros: Excellent Graphics, low price, great compatibility Cons: I couldn't find one.
I got a 3DFX VooDoo 3 3000 with my computer, and I'm glad I did. Excellent graphics, compatibility with basically all games, and good processing power push this to the top of the graphics card charts, right next to its big brother, the VooDoo 5. ...
Pros: Enhanced graphics textures, Operating speed, Price Cons: Lots of similar products out there
Now I may not be an Advisor, but I'll give you some quality facts in language you can understand about this product. My previous graphics came from and Intell chip that was already installed in my computer when I bought it. I like to play games, such...
Pros: great performance for a great price Cons: none yet
Well, I have to say, that this VooDoo 3 3000 PCI card DOES make a big difference.
First of, let me tell you about my PC.
I have a eMachines 500is and it only came with a intergrated 8 meg ATI graphics card.
At first, I did not have a...
Pros: Fantastic board! Great redraw, great frame-rate, great colors & speed Cons: none
OK...
I just purchased a 3dfx VooDoo3 3000 AGP board. What can I say? This is incredible! I replaced my Diamond Monster 3D-2 board (12mb) and my ATI Rage Pro (8mb) board. While I lost 4mb of video RAM, this single 2D/3D board is faster,...
Pros: Widest software compatability Cons: Runs quite hot
Ever since I got into computer games about 6 years ago, the Pentium was fresh on the scene and video cards were a whopping 2 meg. Doom was the number one game which flew on my 486 DX4/100 and which I still play today. Video cars have come a long way...
Pros: Fast rendering, clean, crisp graphics, works with MacOS/Windows/Linux Cons: Doesn't support 32-bit color, get a Voodoo4 or Voodoo5 for that
First, let me make this clear. I have not used the Voodoo3 3000, I have the next one down, the Voodoo3 2000, which isn't that much different except for the speed of the card.
I have always been a fan of 3Dfx interactive ever since the...
Pros: Fast RAMDAC and RAM, 16 MB, PCI bus, High resolutions, High refresh rate Cons: no cons
I bought an E-Machine E-Tower 500ix and it had one of the worst graphics cards I have ever used. I checked around, looking at all possible graphics cards, and I found that the 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 was the best card for the money. I went to the Best Buy...
Pros: Great price, good graphics, plays great for games. Cons: Not as powerful as new Voodoo cards.
Ah, the voodoo 3.
Although slightly out of date now, I use VooDoo3 for extremely popular, and fun online games such as Quake, and Half-Life. Its amazing what it can do considering its price. With the latest VooDoo5 5500 AGP out, its not quite worth...
Pros: good for someone using a PCI card Cons: the price, and everything about it
If your computer has an AGP slot and is able to handle faster cards, this is not the card for you. The AGP version is not a very good card. It offers very low frame rates in non-glide games. For example, in a Half Life mod called TFC, I get around 18...
Pros: Good 3D graphics, good frame rates, inexpensive, good resolution Cons: not excellent when running 2D graphics
I just bought a Voodoo 3 3D card , this is the best graphic car I have ever had. The Voodoo 3 3000 runs rings around ATI's Rage Fury and posted speeds of up to 65 frames per second (fps) at 800-by-600-pixel resolution . There are the Voodoo 3 chipset on...
Pros: None that deserve mention. Cons: Only 16 megs, no 32 bit support, subpar performance compared to TNT2.
After the success of the Voodoo and the Voodoo 2, everyone was expecting that 3dfx would take the 3D performance crown again. No one really expected it to happen this way.
The Voodoo 3 enjoyed only a short time at the top, before it was...
Pros: Fast, smooth gameplay. Great operating system compatibility outside of games. Cons: OpenGL still lacks stability.
The Voodoo3 3000 AGP seems to be the standard by which a lot of other cards are measured now. Sure, there are some that do better, but there are a LOT more that can't touch this card. For the price, the performance you get is as good or better than...
Pros: Good graphics, easy install Cons: Outdated, odd S-video
In April 98, we purchaced our Compaq 5600i series. Since we were going to that from a Pentium-133, this was a huge performance increase. It came bundled with an ATI Rage 128 card, which, after awhile, we discovered was junk. So, I decided to go...
Pros: Easy instructions and install. Cons: Not as fast as a top of the line card should be.
Ok I would just like to say that I was very impressed with the install on this little baby. They made the instructions clear, but not condesending, and I didn't have to hunt down extra files like I have sometimes had to do with older cards. I like the...
I purchased this product because I was having many problems running graphic intensive programs (read: games) with my STB Velocity 128 3D card. While the STB was DirectX certified, most games claimed to be compatible with it, and it was only 3 years old,...
Pros: Graphics are crisp and animation is fluid. Since it is a 3dfx card, driver support for games should not be an issue. Cons: Took some tweaking after installing in order to get my monitor refresh settings right
The Voodoo3 3000 is a great card for gaming. Games such as Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament really came to life after replacing my old 4 meg integrated 3D card with the Voodoo. Unfortunately I had to settle for a PCI version of the 3000 since my computer...
Pros: Awesome performance for under $150 Cons: Lacks 32-bit 3D color support
I just love this card!! From the minute I saw the pre-release spec's I knew this was going to be a great card. I originally had a Matrox Millenium II and a 3dfx 12MB Voodoo2 3D card. I was extremely impressed at the performance of the card right from...
Pros: Good 3D, PCI&AGP Versions, Great Price! Cons: No 32bit render, lacks some features found on newer 3D cards, Card run quite H@T!
When it comes to video cards these days, boy does it get confusing. So many boards with so many features. It comes down to this: What do I have to spend, and what are your graphical needs. For about $100.00 bucks the Voodoo3 3000, packs a real punch....
Pros: Cheap, decent performer, large software base Cons: a bit slow when compared to the latest cards
Ah, the venerable 3dfx Voodoo chipset. What you get with this card is a lot of software support, and a proven method. What you don't get is the fastest card out there. But when you look at it, this card also doesn't cost as much as many other cards...
Pros: Fast Graphic Card available for PCI. Under $150. Cons: Doesn't support Mac
I recently purchased a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 PCI card. Right when I popped that baby in I loved it! The graphics were superior to any other my computer has ever had on it. I mainly bought it for first person shooter games, but saw it making a difference to...
Pros: good support, 166mhz, overall good card Cons: limited TV options, 16 bit(not a big deal)
I recently put together a computer this summer. Now being at college and all i had to be sure to buy a 3D card that would suffice for playing such games as Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear. After looking around www.pricewatch.com, which is a great site to visit...
Pros: stable, decent quality drivers Cons: there are faster cards out now
I have a Voodoo3 3000 PCI card in my AMD Athlon 850 MHz system w/128mb RAM. I'm holding out for the Voodoo5 and this makes a nice stop-over card. I will eventually stick it in my AMD K6-3 400 w/128mb RAM for casual gaming. I spent about $70 on the card...
In one sentence: I love this video card! Before, I used to buy and use Diamond videocards, but 3Dfx truly fits my needs better (i.e. computer games, hehe). I won't give you the technical details and the numbers (triangles per second, etc.), as you can...
Pros: works well for anything Cons: none that i've seen
You want graphics that are out of this world? I suggest this product.It is a must have for any gamer.Not only does this card run 3dFx games,it also makes regular games come to life.And it gets rid of the choppy screen to screen movements.It has made most...
I honestly don't know much about 3d graphics acceleration in general, except that they all sorta look the same to me and they always enhance the performance of the computer in terms of graphics.
Pros: Very good, inexpensive Cons: Superceded by new generation of video adapters
At the time I write this review, the Voodoo3 doesn't even compare on the same level as the best graphics cards on the market. On the other hand, it an be had for $100, and it sure beats anything else at that price point. I initially got my Voodoo3 3000...
Pros: Fast, Stable, nice accompanying game package, highly compatible Cons: new 32 bit cards are already making this chip old news
This is an all around great card. It's fast, handles graphics beautifully, and comes with a pretty nice package of games. 3dfx is also the creator of one of the most compatible line of video cards, supported by every single 3d accelerated game I have...
Pros: Good for its price Cons: CPU dependant (not good for slow systems -- prolly the ones that would use this board the most)
Among some very technical reviews, I want to keep this one as close to english as possible. First off, just to clear up, I don't own a 3dfx brand Voodoo3. Mine is made by Powercolor (based in Taiwan), is clocked at 183MHz (ie the speed of the 3dfx...
Pros: Fast, Great Graphics, supports high resolutions Cons: Only 16 MB of RAM
The 3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 is one of the best video cards out there for its price. Yeah, you could blow $200+ dollars on the newest ones, but who really wants to spend that much money? I've seen this card for near $100 at some stores. For that price you...
Pros: Incredible improvement over 2d cards, great frame rates, great value Cons: 16 bit color, Not the fastest card on the block anymore
The Voodoo 3 3000 PCI card I recently purchased had been advised to me by a friend that I trust very much for advice. Upon purchasing the product I was certainly not disappointed.
At first I had a few problems with the installation, but this...
Pros: Smooth rendering and no lag Cons: wont run the newest games as good
I purchased the Voodoo3 3000 right when it came out. I had seen other cards run the same games, but not near as good as the Voodoo. I was running a k6-2 400 over clocked to 450 with 124Mhz bus speed, and using the Voodoo 3. I could run games such as...
Pros: Fast, easy to install Cons: 16meg limitation
I picked up the Voodoo 3000 AGP because I was tired of dropped frames. Nothing spoils the effect of a graphic intensive game more than that little "stutter" when the graphics card can't keep up with the player.
Pros: It is a 3Dfx Cons: It's a little over hyped...
I would have to disagree somewhat. Although the Voodoo3 3000 does do some real nice work on a lot of games, it is not made for the next generation games like they made it look. Not doing 32bit color may not seem like that much of a problem, but play...
I first purchased this card, before v3 3500 tv came out. I was So exctied to play Quake2 and other first person shooter games. When I arrived back to my home, I put it in the machine with ease. Anyone can plug this in it is extremely simple. The...
Pros: Extremely compatible and great graphics Cons: No 32bit and only 16 Megs
I have always been a 3dfx fan and when it came time to build my new system, the obvious choice was the Voodoo 3 3000. Sure, I could have waited an extra 4 months for the TNT2 but in the short lifespan of hardware where every speed record is broken every...
Pros: Boosts speed and better graphics Cons: Rare defective drivers or cards
The notion that the only way to increase your computer's performance is to increase the Random Access Memory, (RAM). This is a big misconception. All ram does is make room for files you wish to use; it pulls files from the Hard Drive. However, there...
Pros: Solid performing, highly compatible Cons: No longer "Bleeding edge" technology, may lose compatibility
I continue to use the Voodoo3 3000 video card despite the fact that it isn't the newest and shiniest. Everquest, Half-Life, and Tribes2 all run quite well for me. I am certain my friends running GeForce2 cards are getting better framerates and more...
Pros: Not too expensive Cons: not as fast as the 3500
The Voodoo 3 video cards are some of the best video cards you could buy I know several people who own voodoo 3 video cards and I think the graphics are great every thing is clear and distinct. The voodoo 3 3000 is good compared to the 3500 but if you are...
I'll keep this one pretty brief. The graphics of this amazing card is awesome! Very smooth and such. Gives quake 3 and such a new reason to play. Only thing I wish was that it came with a TV-IN like it's younger brother the 3500. Well, that's why...
If your an Intense gamer, then you need this cards superb graphics quality and speed. I have been playing games for a long time and this card keeps up with them all. This card usually maintaines a fast 60fps in game like Quake 3 Arena, Unreal and...
Pros: Truth, not a lie in here Cons: Some people have too much ca$h
Computers are getting to darn complex and their are to many requirments for them that make it to expensive to have a good system.
I find when I go to the store to buy a program it has a list of requirments and I can barely meet, and I have...
Pros: low price excellent performance Cons: doesn't support 32-bit game play
An excellent video card for a modest price. It features something called
glide which allows it to run games and other programs that are optimized for it faster. Many games support glide. Using glide the voodoo 3 can outperform many more expensive...
Pros: Great graphics and great TV out for games Cons: Tv out isn't that great for other uses and lacks 32-bit graphics
I did a lot of research before getting to this card and I can honestly say that it is well worth the value. The company that makes this card is well known throughout the industry for making excellent graphics cards since the original Voodoo card. The TV...
Pros: Faster, compatible Cons: Nothing special to make it worth its price
Upgrading from a Voodoo Banshee, I don't find this graphics card impressive. Not that 3dfx cards are no good, far from it. Its just that the improvement from Banshee to V3 3000 is not impressive at all. The only thing it improved on was the higher 2D...
Pros: extremely fast Cons: high chance of getting a defective product
After returning this product to the store the second time I was unsure about how stable this piece of hardware was. After seeing it run some games I realized what type of power this card has. I have also recently purchased the Creative Labs TNT 2. The...
I had absolutely no idea a computer could produce such incredible speed and quality resolution of graphics. I've had my Voodoo3 3000 for about 2 weeks now, and the entire time has been spent in awe of the speed of graphics rendering of my new video...
Pros: Pretty Box Cons: Does not work in all applications.
I was using a Diamond Monster 3Dll combined with a Matrox G200 as a primary card and the Monster for 3d work.
I guess one has to learn the hard way, not to listen to everyone. I had heard that the Voodoo cards were the best all around and...
Pros: smooth graphics, high frame rate in Half-Life and Quake 3 arena Cons: none
I recently built a new computer with a K6-2 450 and I decided that I would try 3dfx's Voodoo3000. I certainly was impressed with my system's performance and I was very surprised at how well the Voodoo3 chip handled my graphic intensive games with such...
I am sure there are a great many reviews of how great this card is, so I won't repeat all of them. The Voodoo3 3000 works great in Windows 2000 Professional. I installed Windows 2000 Pro and it detected and installed the drivers for the card. However,...
There is just one drawback: No 32-bit 3D rendering. Finding a need for that is rare. It is fast, and easily handles the gaming I do. DVD playing is also aided, but it is the speed it gives to gamers that gives it its edge. While the 3500 is faster,...
Pros: Great graphics enhancement and great speed Cons: some trouble with certain games
The 3dfx Voodoo 3000 has to be the best card that i have had up to this point. i love it. with the right drivers you can have yourself a really nice game. the card is awesome and enhances greatly. If u need a good quality graphic card and u don't have...
Pros: Easy to use, Graphic power, Glide Cons: Will be outclassed in next PC card wars
I was getting tired of my old graphics card and wanted a suitable upgrade for the best price. Low and behold in my local electronics store there was the Voodoo 3. I immediately shelled out the 129.99 bucks for and I have been pleased ever since. ...
Pros: great graphics, great upgrade Cons: no games with the pci version.
i bought the voodoo 3 3000 pci because i needed a better video card to play the games that require good graphics, and now a days that all of them.
I think that anyone who is a gamer could benefit from this card.
i chose this product because I...
Pros: Great speed, easy installation. Cons: A bit expensive.
I had recently bought a new machine and needed more graphics power then the ATI RAGE card that came standard in the AGP slot. I did some research and found that what I needed was a strong brand name and and AGP card.
The name that I saw most was...
Pros: Fast Opengl, Great Software Bundle, Frames Cons: No 32 Bit Color, DVD Decoding is poor, Not that fast
3dfx spent 20 million on the marketing campaign for their new voodoo. Or is it really new? when you look at the design and layout, a voodoo 3 is simply a really fast voodoo banshee. So how do they justify the $150 price tag? With a great software bundle....
Pros: Fast, Reasonably priced, "The Standard" Cons: HOT! (as in Temperature)
The Voodoo 3000 is a great card... It can handle anything on the market while still mantaining a great price ratio and compatibility with the most common graphic APIs. The whole 32vs16 bit color is mostly a marketing gimmic... if you look at the...
My games have been much easier to see and I can't believe all the graphics I've been missing. I liked all the games before but didn't realize what I was missing until I purchased this card. The colors are really crisp and bright and since I installed the...
Pros: More Video Memory= Better Graphics Cons: Hastle of Setup
Do you really want to pay that extra $40 dollars for a card that works just as well as the cheaper, more user friendly, and easy to install Voodo 2. About last month i started looking around for a new video card since my computer only had a 2x graphics...
Pros: Games and 3D software scream. Cons: Installation disk and support don't work well.
I frequently find that with hardware - installation is always the most difficult part. I got the PCI version of this card installed fine in my PC, but then the installation disk repeatedly failed.
The 3dfx Voodoo 3 is a great card indeed, it's fast processer makes it a great choice. My expierience with this card has ben finominal. I accadently bought a game that was too fast for my processor but it, because of it's capabilites, made the game run...
Pros: Inexpensive, widely supported Cons: No 32bit 3D, only 16Mb
This card is a swell card. Really - that's about all there is to it. It is adequate in every way, and it can run just about any application currently out there with grace. Plus it doesn't cost too much.
Pros: good support/great menus/great graphics Cons: 3dfx bought out who will pick up tech support
If you are looking for a pretty good video card without having to spend a lot of money, your search has ended. This video card retails for about 100.00 and is well worth it. I have used this video card for almost a year now and have not had a single...
Pros: Bang for the buck, Overclockability, Glide Cons: Not the fastest, Runs somewhat hot w/out fan
While this card may not be the fastest card on the market, it does offer a great bang for the buck. At a little over $100, it can compete with GeForce SDR boards and surpass them in almost all Glide based game (ie-- Quake). Add to this, the ability to...
I have used many video cards and this one is definately the best one I have ever used. Every game I have tried with it looks better than I have ever seen it. The only bad thing about this card at this time is the support. Not many older games support...
Pros: Fast, Compatible with everything Cons: 16MB of RAM
If your an Intense gamer, then you need this cards superb graphics quality and speed. I have been playing games for a long time and this card keeps up with them all. This card usually maintaines a fast 60 frames per second in games like Quake 3 Arena,...
For the longest time I have wished to have a better video card. I had a working video card so it worked, and it was AGP so it was not too affordible to change out. However 3DFx is having a great deal $30 off Voodoo3 cards! So I stepped up, got my card....
Pros: Excellent Graphics for Gaming Cons: no TV out capability
I purchased one of these 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 cards recently, and I like it. I find it easy to use, and compatible with every game out there. The graphics are hard to beat as well. Its a great improvement over the Voodoo Rush card and even though it only...
Pros: 16mb ram, TV-Out, 32-bit color Cons: 600x800 resolution screws up monitor while tv-out is active.
I purchased this product for the following reasons:
*Wanted higher framerates for WinAmp AVS (dancing graphix to music,etc.)
*Wanted higher framerates in games
*TV-Out feature (Major reason)
*More resolution options/32-bit True...
Pros: Great Value Cons: no 32 meg version, not true 32 bit rendering
If I could sum my opinions of the VooDoo 3 3000 AGP in one sentence I couldn't, but I would say its Awesome Baby. I purchased this product because of the Value, features, and the great reviews. My first card was the ATI All in Wonder. If you saw...
Pros: very fast, no compatibility issues Cons: still just a 16 bit card
This card made a HUGE difference in performance. Like some people say, it does not have all the features of the TNT2 cards, but I have tried 2 different brands of TNT2 cards and I always suffer lock-ups, games that display no video and other weird...
Pros: Incredibly Fast, Cheap Cons: The TV Out Could Be Better
The review for the Voodoo3 3000 is very simple: It is the fastest gaming card on the market! As a bonus, you can get it for $100! The only big problem I have with this card is that the TV out doesn't work as concistantly as it should. But, who cares its...
Pros: Its fast Cons: needs more mem and is old news
I love this card. It's speed is very nice and it runs at 60 fps in practically everything. I personally like this card better than the Matrox G400 Max mainly because of the large price difference. Although the G400 does support 2 monitors. The Voodoo 3...
Pros: Very Fast on all games and compatibility Plus Cons: Runs really HOT REALLY HOT
The card performs very well, no jerking of any kind, even in a 5 player quake 3 game. There are only two floors. The cards heat sink is on the wrong side of the board so it's pointing at any PCI device you put next to it. This causes the second problem,...
Pros: It's Cheep (litteraly) Cons: It is biodegradable, it might kill 3DFX and make way for nivdia, It's good for me to poo on!
What was 3DFX thinking? I still have no clue. The very idea of competing
with yourself sounds a little ridiculous. But here we have it, a board that is inferior to the 3500 in every way (except price, but you get what you pay for). Like I...
Pros: Good Price and Snap to install Cons: Only 16mb
Id have to say that the Voodoo 3 3000/2000 PCI/AGP 3d cards are the best 3d cards for their price. I have a crappy AMD-K62 333mhz with 64mb and man I gained about 30fps on UT when I snapped this card in!!! It was a snap too install too! All I did was...
Pros: Very good 2D and 3D performance, works great with all my games. Cons: Can't think of any :P
I purchased the Voodoo3 3000 to replace an ATI card that's been on the fritz for some odd reason. After installing this card, I'd never want to go back to the old one.
Installation was really a breeze; if you're an advanced user with...
Pros: Awesome 3D!!! Good Value Cons: Pricey at $130, average 2D performance
This graphics card let you play all your favorite 3D shooting game with some of the best fps in the business. I've been playing Quake III with this graphic card and have had no slow down at all. The game looks terrific and make the Playstation and...
Pros: OpenGL, Direct3d, and Glide support
Extremely compatible with almost any system. Cons: Kinda old and not as fast as the geforce ddr
I have had my voodoo3 for almost two years now. It has never game me any problems. Installation of the card is simple just like any other 3dfx card. Take out your existing video card and secure the voodoo3 in the AGP slot. Then pop in the cd with the...
This card is excellent I believe that there is no point in getting a new video card after you buy this one for several reasons. One, it's fast enough for all games. It's as fast as you need. Anymore is almost too fast. I recommend this card for a...
Pros: best graphic accelator yet Cons: hard to install
The voo doo 3 is one of the best graphic accelerators out there! 3D actually appears to be 3D! Those movies that used to look flat and small on a PC can now be seen from the comfort of your PC, almost as good as going to the theatres. Although the...
Pros: great 3d and 2d speeds. low cost Cons: not as fast as some 3d cards
The Voodoo 3 3000 is an awesome card. It is probably the best gaming card to date. Quake II, Quake III, and Everquest were written to be used with this card, to mention a few. This Voodoo card has it all. It has a superbly fast 3d accelerator and is...
Pros: fast, very fast Cons: not as many features as the TNT2
3dfx has consistently been at the top of the 3d acceleration arena. Even with nVidia's latest offerings, I feel confident that 3dfx will continue to please.
The Voodoo3 3000 is a great video card. It has the solid Voodoo3 chipset, so you get...
This blows my rage pro/diammond voodo2 combo out of the water! not only does it take up less space, It is so much faster for both 2d and 3d application. Add that to the fact that this card was cheaper than the voodoo 2 board i bought, and i don't have to...
Pros: Speedy, inexpensive, easy to set up Cons: 16-bit color
This card is the obvious choice for the gamer on a budget. It doesn't support 32-bit color, but it's got awesome speed. I found it incredibly easy to set up, and since it supports both OpenGL and Glide, you'd be hard pressed to find a game that doesn't...
Pros: Performance, External Connections Cons: Heats Up A Little More Than Other Cards
Excellent video card. I have had this card for for 6 months now and have had nothing but excellent performance. It is running under Windows 98 and works well. The graphics it displays is great. It is also an excellent 16mb card for the price. I...
Pros: Connection port for PC Monitor and TV, AGP and PCI versions Cons: Some people may not want to spend $150 for a card.
If you are an intense gamer and want a good 3 dimensional graphics card, then this is the card for you. The 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 Graphics Card is entirely built for fast gaming, such as, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and other action packed games. Also,...
Well let's face it boy's and girls the VooDoo 3 is ok the 5 better, but still needs more. I have a VooDoo 3 3000 an althought it's nice it ain't a god of graphics. There is a beta driver dated August 23, 2000. But even then it's still not up to what it...
Pros: Fast, cheap, and TV-out Cons: Too slow for these days
This card was considered to be one of the fastest card of all times in 1998. Overall it had it all. It's still a good card if you want to play Quake 3 on the television. The only good thing for this card is to play Unreal series and Quake Series on the...
Pros: Graphics are AWESOME!! Cons: Long load up with a HP computer(soon to be fixed they say)
Let me be the 1st to say that their customer service department is excellent, I was having major troubles with installing this card, but they led me step by step and got me up and running. The graphics are really great and feel that if everyone has a...
Pros: Fast, Crystal Clear Cons: On rare occasions, it can be jerky.
The first thing that I have to say is WOW!! If you are a gamer, you need this card. It is super fast, has 16 megs of memory, which, trust me, is enough. The graphics are crystal clear. I have played Quake 3 Arena with it and it was awesome. The...
Pros: Very high frame rate, nice overclockability, and alot more! Cons: 32-bit color not full but simulated, 16 megs of ram instead of 32
This card is the best of the voodoo family to date. The first voodoo was great, I never owned one but I played alot of games on friends computers that were equiped with them. I went straight out and bought a Voodoo 2 12 meg by STB when it hit the shelves...
Pros: Awesome 3d rendering, fast, no errors or lock-ups Cons: None
I purchased the 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 after reading several solid opinions about this card and must admit that I'm glad I have it. This is one truly great video card! I play games on my system about 75% of the time and have no complaints at all, in fact...
Pros: Fast chipset Cons: Hardware incompatibilities
Recently purchased the Voodoo3 3000 AGP. Since I work level 3 tech support, installing a simple video card should prove no challenge. Wrong!
After many hours of frustration, I contacted technical support. I will give their support an 8 out of 10....
Pros: Nice Graphics, Cheap, Does not burn up, easy to install Cons: The picture on the box is a little distracting.
A few months back I was looking for a better card to play EverQuest with. With my Matrox Mystique 4mb card it looked a lot like a game without any textures, everything was white, and to tell you the truth it just plain sucked. So I saved up $120 bucks...
The best quality i've ever seen. I got it on my birthday this year. It supports glide, and delivers the best graphics i've ever seen. When i played an n64 game on the emulator the graphics were almost like you would play it on a real 64. The only problem...
Pros: This is a great gaming graphics card. Cons: Could come with more memory
I have purchased Diamond graphics cards before, but when I purchased my first Voodoo graphics card and decided to upgrade, I choose the Voodoo 3 3000. I is easy to install and easy to upgrade the drivers. I have enjoyed playing all of my #d games and...
I purchased this because i need better graphics on my computer and my computer looks horrifying wothout one of those 3d cards that work so well. I would definitely benefit most from using this product because i am using it for games which i love and no...
Ah, the voodoo3, what a grafics card. Now Im sure its out of date all ready but do you want to go spend over a 100 bucks for a video card for your pc? If you do great go for the new Voodoo5. But the voodoo3 is around 100 bucks and its a very good grafics...
This in not a video card that i would recommend to just everyone. The only people that i would recommend this card to is people that do not have an agp bus. The reason for this is that there are so many other card out there that are better then this...
Pros: Good picture, not to expensive Cons: dislike the color/res settings. jumpy picture
I just bought my new voodoo3 3000. I made this purchase after what I thought to be extensive research on the product. I read basically every online review I knew existed. This was supposed to be the best card for my newly built system, which consists of...
Pros: Extremely fast, has Glide support Cons: Not all the features of other cards
There is no denying that 3Dfx has had a strong influence when it comes to the world of 3D acceleration hardware on the PC platform. Starting with their original line of Voodoo cards, 3Dfx has continued to dominate the market - until now. The introducing...
Pros: Good price, decent performance, fixed framerate Cons: Some hardware conflicts, fixed framerate
This is a solid product from 3dfx, a nice, now midrange card. It has come down greatly in price now that the Voodoo 4 and 5, along with the next generations of TNT and GeForce cards are coming out. There seems to be a problem with some older monitors not...
3dfx is a awesome product.It is so easy to use install and fun.
The best part of the card is when u get it it's in a nice box and ready for you to install it. It's easy to install it's a snap plus it comes with a cd to help you. When you put...
Pros: IT IS BETTER THAN MOST Cons: STILL COULD BE BETTER
Well let's face it boy's and girls the VooDoo 3 is ok the 5 better, but still needs more. I have a VooDoo 3 3000 an although it's nice it ain't a god of graphics. There is a beta driver dated August 23, 2000. But even then it's still not up to what it...
The Voodoo3 3000 is an excellent card if your computer can handle the heat. The card got so hot my computer locked up after about an hour.
As far as performance, this card is the cream of the crop. A fast card, but unfortunatly, it doesn't support...
Pros: Cheap, fast enough for current games Cons: Not cutting edge, will be outdated faster
The Voodoo3 3000 AGP isn't the fastest card on the market - not by a long shot - but it's hard to beat the price. If you're looking to spend the least amount of money to be able to play the new games on the market, then this card may be the way to...
Pros: Decent Speed, Decent Visuals... Cons: But is now dated in it's technology
If you're sick of using crappy "Software" graphics, and you actually want to make the "Big Move" to the 3d accelerator, than this is the card to get if you're not looking at spending over a hundred dollars.
Best Graphics card i've ever had. I know there are better ones on the market, but they are not this good of a value and almost no one needs a better card than this one. I bought the agp version but the pci is just as good. The higher versions of this...
Sweet very sweet. I bought the AGP voodoo 3000, and I have to say, that it is a world of difference over the PCI voodoo card.
One thing that I did notice is the heat sink on the card. This baby gets very hot, I also installed more fans in my...
