3Dfx Voodoo3 3000

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Cons: Superceded by new generation of video adapters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.

Installation was a...

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...

Pros: Very nice quality, fast
Cons: none

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...

Pros: cost, graphics, reliability
Cons: no TV-IN

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...

Pros: Bug free card.
Cons: 16MB 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 60fps in game like Quake 3 Arena, Unreal and...
