Personally for all my old games, I can think of nothing better than a PCI V3-3000 if anyone wants to throw one my way.

Say what you will, but 3dfx cards still own nVidia. I've got an overclocked Monster 3D that does 150fps in Quake3.

Bling... I MIGHT be into this... /me looks at the box for his Voodoo2, still has a V3 (flashed w/ mac ROM) in the old Mac, has a GF2MX 32MB in the TBird box that needs upgrading to a 64MB GF3Ti...

Cripes I was THIS close to selling the V2 to a guy for 25 billz anyway... If i get 30 towards a hi-end PNY card then I am making out MB...? Agh rebate-ism is so weird tho, I hate the runaround involved...

Shizz, I wonder what they are going to do with all those V1-2-3-4-5 cards? ( I would NOT trade in a V4 or V5 myself no way Jose) Maybe they are building a Burning Man style monument that they can ignite and chant satanic phrases around or something.

Guys the only real GeForce card you should buy is this one. http://www.leadtek.com/geforce3/gf3tdh.htm

Why? Remember all those articles on how to modify the GeForce to 'fix' the low quality filter components on the card so that in higher resolutions the 2D quality graphics is not ghosting or displaying fuzzy text? Well Leadtek of all companies, and I have to give mad props for Abrasion for pointing this out to me, uses high-quality filter components and so the poor 2D quality is now fix! This is like the only card to get if you have a 19" or bigger moniter. No other Nvidia card has this!. Don't believe me? Then read this: http://firingsquad.gamers.com/hardware/winfastti500/

So this 'deal' that PNY is making isn't worth shit, imho. :/

Shit, you can pimp out your fat, one-legged sister for more than that chump change!

But seriously, it's a poor marketing strategy, as it will only aggravate people by underlining how devalued and outmoded ultra-expensive hardware quickly becomes. Smart consumers will say, "If I plunk down $200 for this card, it too is going to be worth squat by next summer." And that kind of reasoning makes it easier to put off a purchase. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I wouldn't mind a Voodoo5-5500 card, since the FSAA is nice. It would make games like FF7 and FF8 PC look really nice (since they're limited to 640x480 or 800x600).

This might be worth it if I had an old Voodoo1 lying around..
Even then, it's $30 off a $300 card.. If you have a Voodoo3 or 5, you can get
at least that much on Ebay, if not more.
