256Mb much better than 128Mb?

I guess in some very badly programmed games it migth run
slightly faster as an 9600XT wtih 128Mb memory, but that are VERY
BADLY programmed games.


Yepp, that's right. One good (or actually bad) example is the game
StreetLegal 1 and 2.!

As for the XGI V3, i guess even a gf2 ti would be faster than that, LOL. Or
even voodoo5!!

Please don't insult the Voodoo5. You hurt the feelings of mine......
Use it in one of my machines to run my DOS and Glide classics. Works
great.

I've always wondered how the Voodoo5 performs on modern Athlon XP or
Pentium 4 systems--does it scale well with processor speed? I'd imagine
it would beat the crap out of a GF2 MX and maybe even give an MX440 a
run for its money, but maybe I'm giving 3dfx too much credit.

Got a Voodoo3 3000 in my DOS box...

You're giving it way to much credit. I replaced a 3dfx with an MX440 and
there was a huge improvement. Now running a 9600 Pro. :-)

Yeah, but can the MX440 do cinematic T-buffer special effects?

Okay, I guess even if the good old Voodoo5 was "so fast, it's kind of
ridiculous" in its day, it certainly isn't very fast anymore. But,
given how old it is, I'll bet it doesn't suck as much as newer dual-GPU
solutions *cough* XGI *cough*

V5 5500 and my 1.1GHz Celeron and Heretic 2/Glide runs like a dream...
like a brand-new game all over again. Also Tribes (original), of
course.

Dear john,
I'm sorry if i hurt your feelings, but i didn't meant to. I was saying that
even a legacy card such as voodoo5 or gf2 would out perform a latest and
expensive graphic crap, oh graphic*card, like XGI V3. Shame to XGI, Long
live voodoozz

Ok you old voodoo fans, listen up. I had been using 3dfx cards since voodoo
banshee. than v2, v2-sli, v3 2000 pci and last voodoo3 3000 agp. (could not
buy v5 in time, still feel bad though). My prehistoric system , celeron566,
256mb pc100, v3 3k agp, with 8Gb hdd, was way way fast than my friends
P3-450, riva tnt 2, 256mb ram. He could not enjoy some popular games like i
did. Those include, Quake3, UT, NFS-5 (the last real NFS), HL, MechWarrior3
and many other.

Last year I ran voodoo5 5500 agp on my 850Duron, 512pc133, under xp. It took
some time to find good drivers, but when i did, it ran rather well. I got
more fps and quality in games (compared to std gf2 32mb) like dues-ex,
red-alert 2 , ProjectEDEN, DeltaForce3 and even in UT! i guess voodoo were
pretty solid for it's time, and even useable today (though mostly for legacy
games).

Thanks, but not my feelings. It was my poor faithful V5 5500's
feelings that I was referring to.

My other machine has a Fx5900 in it, so I have the (near) best of
both worlds.
