3dfx Voodoo3 3000
3dfx Voodoo3 3000
WHAT'S HOT: By far the fastest board on our AGP chart, the 3dfx Voodoo3 3000's raw speed is something to behold: In our battery of tests, the Voodoo3 3000 emerged as the fastest 3D performer yet. This board also comes with a hefty batch of extras. The Voodoo3 3000's 3D-game bundle includes GT Interactive's Need for Speed 3 and Unreal, and a video-out port lets you display games on a TV. In addition, 3dfx provides an unbeatable lifetime warranty.
WHAT'S NOT: The drivers 3dfx sent to us with our test board introduced some unfortunate quirks, including uneven image quality. During Quake II tests, the board displayed transparency effects beautifully, but dark lighting effects and faded colors hurt its overall 3D rating.
WHAT ELSE: Unlike most vendors, 3dfx offers a toll-free tech support line, available 12 hours each weekday and 8 hours on Saturdays.
BEST USE: If you want ultimate-performance bragging rights--and don't mind some nagging questions about image quality--this is your board. Revised drivers may correct the display glitches; next month, we'll retest the Voodoo3 3000.
