A great card for it's time.

by malaclypse , Mar 16 '01
Pros: Good for TV, good software package and decent for games.
Cons: Only 16bit graphics for games, no new drivers.
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...

Great Card! Read this review!

by SeattleMCSE , Jan 01 '01
Pros: Frame Rate / Fill Rate / Solid Performance
Cons: MPEG capture
When I was first building my new computer system from scratch, I tried many different video cards to see which one will fare the best in both performance and price. The Voodoo 3 3500TV won easily. I rate this product so high because you will see a...

Good graphics, reasonable cost

by MultimediaMan , Dec 19 '00
Pros: Great Frame rate, Anti-aliasing good
Cons: My Playstation audio is way too loud for the TV capabilities.
Upgrading from Creative's Graphics Blaster Riva TNT, This card is sweet. Need for Speed: High Stakes doesn’t slow down as often, and the frame rate is great as well. The Sims averages at about 45 Frames per Second (FPS). Unreal is always smooth. The...

Great for TV, 3d graphics not bad for a cheaper model

by calebu2 , Dec 16 '00
Pros: We can watch TV on the computer whilst working
Cons: tech support / driver updates are not the best
I really don't make full use of the 3d graphics on this card, so I'm not going to write another review about how many megapixels it can draw in any given time span.

I played unreal on it and it looked pretty smooth at high resolutions. Tiger...

Beware - video capture and DVD playback!

by sodakar , Nov 09 '00
Pros: Glide support, good all-around video card
Cons: no DVD hardware decoding, 320x240 max video capture
I'll keep this short and sweet. There is NO DVD hardware decoding, and video can only be captured at 320x240. If your emphasis is on DVD playback and capturing video of your vacations and such, this card is not a good choice. Consider the ATi...

The card works so well I sold my TV!

by namja , Oct 11 '00
Pros: Great TV
Cons: You need a cordless mouse if you want a remote
I bought the Voodoo3 3500 video card for two reasons:

1. It had a TV tuner. Now I can watch TV while I surf the net. I make a little TV window (1.5" x 2") on the top left corner of the monitor when I surf. The TV comes out great....

3DFX 3500 TV Is A Great Value

by cidd , Oct 04 '00
Pros: External A/V control pod makes it easy to connect all of your cables.
Cons: Needs better Video editing software, and the TV-tuner bugs need to be fix.
It's a pretty damn good card. Here's a true FACT: Your going to need a Pentium 3 500 or faster to get the best value out of this card, and that's a problem most people have out here.

The feature I like the most is the kick-ass external A/V...

Almost Perfect

by RedSatellite , Oct 02 '00
Pros: TV(cable), FM and it's fast
Cons: Only 800X600?
To be honest: I truly liked the graphics on the packaging!! Seriously, word of mouth had drawn me to the Voodoo like the popular toy on the playground as a child. Anyone who wags their tail at the prospect of the amazing extras of a TV tuner and FM tuner...

Voodoo3 3500 Tv AGP Great if someone else installs it!

Pros: hardware i makes games run smoothly
Cons: difficulty with the installation
The Voodoo3 3500 Tv AGP is a step up from my prior PCI video card. Amazing graphics.
My son had some difficulty with the installation, customer service was very accommodating in eliminating
possible problems, in the end he only had to...

A few frames faster than the fastest V2...

by psykosis_fc , Sep 26 '00
Pros: GREAT value compared to everything except the GeForceMX
Cons: Limited Lifespan--v5 might be a better choice for 800Mhz or faster PC's
I finally succumbed to an upgrade madness--a new motherboard (Asus P3V4X), processor (celeron2 566) and Vid card v3 3500tv. This setup is replacing my old setup--dual overclocked 466's on a Tyan mobo with a #9 128/Quantum3d Obsidian200SB combo. The...

Extremely Fast Feature Packed Video Card!

by kevini1234 , Jul 22 '00
Pros: External pod for video hook up, great speed,
Cons: None that i can find
A couple months ago, I decided to put together my own computer and used the Voodoo3 3500 TV as my video card. It boasts a fast 183mhz core processor and 350hmz ramdac, pumping out 8 million triangles per second. There is no doubt that this card is fast,...

Great all around card

by qwex , Jun 07 '00
Pros: high quality graphics, TV tuner and video capture
Cons: video capture is pretty basic
Let me start off by saying that the Voodoo3 3500 is a great card. It's pretty cheap now (around $180), and is still a great all around card.

The V3 3500 has a nice feature set: Glide/OpenGL/Direct3D acceleration, TV tuner, and video capture....

All about the triangles baby!

by BIGAIR360X , May 26 '00
Pros: Super performance, great features
Cons: Price
There are more important things to a video card than the memory. The voodoo3 card has these features. The 3dfx chipset provides more triangles (more than 7 million per second) along with the other key features (16 mb ram)that makes this one of the best...

Excellent all round video card

by chowmein53 , May 18 '00
Pros: Excellent quality and speed
Cons: sh|tty tech support, but you shouldn't need it.
I recently purchased the Voodoo3 3500 card. After the quick installation, i was amazed at the difference in quality and smoothness between this card and other competing models. Quake 3 was incredible! While i am skilled in the computer world, I was...

Voodoo is the BEST!

by darinlanes , May 17 '00
Pros: OpenGL, fast, and TV/radio hook up
Cons: None that I have found
This is one of the best voodoo cards available to the public. There is the voodoo 4 and 5 that are coming out after awhile, but for right now the voodoo 3 3500 is the best right now.

This card has all you need for you pc for just gaming or...
