Huge waste imo. Yeah you can get some dos glide games to work but it requires environment variables. And the processor will bottleneck the graphics card massively

very much no. the merit of the voodoo2 lives on in windows 95 gaming where there's newer APIs that know what multitexturing is. V2-era dos gaming is probably just Bethesda Redguard and Burnout at best.

Thanks guys, this confirms what i tought.
I already have a Windows 95 Rig with a voodoo II in it, a Pentium MMX 233Mhz
I'll save it for something else or sell it... still didn't figure out what to do with it.

With the voodoo ? SLI it with the other one just for the cool factor. With the DOS computer, just have it for pure DOS gaming.

Voodoo 1 is good for DOS though.

P233 will bottleneck the living daylights out of a single V2, makes no sense to SLI.

I would take both voodoos and drop them in SLI into something above 1GHz.

nah v2's fine on a p233. v2 is fine in a 6x86PR166. v2 is fine in a K5 133. it's not a card that scales to the moon that some forsaken #1 fan will tell you. Its memory bandwidth sucks and would be out of place on a better system where there's much better cards that'd suit them (and SLI would amplify memory/texture thrashing that's avoided on the banshee/v3). By the era of 1ghz, games were already deprecating support for the V2.

OP in this case though, was wanting it in a 486 - which is viable if you're doing some win95 gaming on it (v2's better on a 486 than v1 there for some games!), but in pure DOS it's pretty lacking -unless you really like Tomb Raider.

My V2 went faster when I swapped the 400 Mendocino for a 550 Katmai.

Perhaps depends on what you play though.

Voodoo2 does scale with faster CPUs. But with higher resolutions (SLI 1024x768) hits limits very soon.
