Card looks awesome. I've been wanting to get one of these, wasn't sure to go AGP or PCI route to swap with my Voodoo 3000. I also thought about a Voodoo 4500 instead, the Minime but I prefer the look of this card. Especially purple and the box is nicer.

I am interested in one of these cards, would these be better than my current ESS1868 cards? I currently use that and an ewave. I love playing Duke 3d, Doom and Raptor. PicoGUS should work great with all of those games and the MIDI soundtrack will be better in the GUS mode (some people do like the …

Anthony's 3dfx cards I have only heard of good things. The one I'd like is the 'Mini-Me' Voodoo 4500 like you can see them all on his site. I have great performance in glide with Deus Ex and my setup. Just curious about 32 vs 16 bit really. Not particularly fussed about frame rates, not many of us …

I'm really curious as to what your findings will show us. I enjoy playing games through the Glide API. It's generally good times. First time I played Deus Ex was on a PS2 back in 2001. I'm starting another playthrough using the V3 and i am happy with the performance. I've played Deus Ex using Metal, …

OK, so I'm running Deus Ex, latest official patch and getting around 34-49 fps on liberty Island. On average it hovers at 44. I use a Voodoo 3 3000 on a Coppermine PIII 1ghz, 512mb of RAM With Win98se. Runs really well in Glide although I can only use 16 bit colour depth. Does anyone have a Voodoo …

Probably most likely something wrong with the card. Glad you're getting a refund mind. I went through around 2 faulty gpus or ones that just didn't want to play ball until I found my beloved Voodoo 3 3000 😀

What's dxdiag displaying ? You looked up the hardware ID in device manager? That should help you find the model. The card also could be bad, what gpumodel does it say immediately when you boot windows (top left corner)

Definitely save and get a Voodoo 3. They sell on amibay for around 80/90/100 euro. Well worth It in my opinion. No driver issues great performance for glide and dx 7 an 6 games.

Thanks for your input everybody. The above games I'm making sure they all run in Glide. Ahh right about the Unreal that makes sense. Heretic II runs in glide nicely. As long as there's nout wrong with the Voodoo. I have not got Turok unfortunately 🙁 it's pretty rare on ebay PC version.

Soul Reaver 2, the blending is odd. Is this normal? As you can see bottom left, on the platform that Raziel is standing on? Using the latest Voodoo drivers. Maybe because it's only 16 bit colours? Just seems really apparent on this game. Unreal looks great so Does HL and Deus Ex. Looks like a …

Thank you for your reply. I lowered the Gamma in game and upped the monitor brightness ( game is really dark normally ) it looks a bit better.
