The PCI Voodoo 3, 4 and 5 cards go for a large premium over their AGP brothers, if you only paid 50 quid for that card then you got a fucking steal, throw a fan on that V3 2K and OC it, the core should hit V3 3k speeds but the memory will be dependent on how fast the ICs are on that 2k but it should still OC a bit and more than enough to be noticable.
Its a nice card to have in PCI format, look after it.
I got lucky, it was advertised as an auction with a best offer, and was only listed as “3DFX vintage card”. Never expected to win it for the cheeky offer I threw in within 5 minutes of the auction listing going live, but here we are.
It lives alongside my £100 V5 5500 PCI (also a steal, but not quite as much so), and it’s AGP V3 2000 and 3000 bretheren.
Still need a V4 of some type to round out the set (already got V1s and V2s too).
