Hi guys as mentioned in my other thread I am in the pre planning process of building my first retro gaming rig.
I came to the conclusion that are many options for a vodoo 2, a vodoo 3 system or time machine type pc with a older and a more modern gpu.
This thread is about potential voodoo 2 system with a single v2 card to norrow down the cost for that type of system like I am going to do with the other potential systems.
Unlike the early 3d area where I at least have heard about many of the common 3d gpu the early 2d area is unknown to me. I was just a console gamer back then and did not get into pc gaming until late 1997 when I got my first gaming pc with a vodoo 2. I did not build it for myself and never asked which partner card my first gaming pc had. I also was interested that much in pc tech in 97 I have to admit. It took me until 99 to really get into that topic.
So sorry for that noob question about the good partner card. Are the matrox cards really the best choice like some superfificial online research suggests or are there other options as well?
