A great card for it's time.

Pros: Good for TV, good software package and decent for games.
Cons: Only 16bit graphics for games, no new drivers.
The Bottom Line: I really do like this card, but I can't recommend it to anyone. Get a Radeon All in Wonder if you want to capture video.

| malaclypse's Full Review: 3dfx Voodoo3 3500, (16 MB) AGP Video Card |
I got this card because I wanted to do some video capturing and editing. At the time, it was the best card for the price. My fames play smoothly on it, although the lack of 32bit graphics hurts the visual quality of some games. I like the pod that it comes with, it makes hooking up a vcr or camcorder very simple. I think the biggest thing that hurts this card is the lack of official drivers for win2000. And with 3dfx out of business now, there will be no new driver updates or support. I have had problems with the video capturing on my machine, directly related to the beta drivers I'm using, which won't let me record sound.
