V5 Shipping & Pics
by Steve Gibson, May 31, 2000 4:58pm PDTCouple of bits of 3dfx news. Firstly they have released a couple of new images of the V5-6000 with some design modifications. (Here are some pics of the old design) you can look at. Brian Burke has informed me that the cooling system will be replaced with 'something much cooler' as well. Secondly the V5-5500 has resumed shipping (Thanks PimpStick) and will be on shelves on June 9th is the promised date.

The V5-5500 is pretty much just as fast as the G2-GTS as the latest firingsquad.com benchmarks show. GeForce2 wins most but definitely not all and especially when you use a faster cpu.
The V5-6000 will make everybody it's bitch.
hehe

Ripped off PlanetGeForce.Com... talking about an article on FiringSquad... so screw you anti-T&L bitches.
Does FSAA give you extra framerate? I think not, so why would anyone power hungry for more FPS want it? Besides, you gotta WAIT to get your 3dfx card! HAHAHAHAH

Why don't the two companies just get together and produce some ass kicking technology?

The videocapture/editing stuff is what really floats my boat, never tried those 3D glasses though...
I just hope they've got cards with these kinds of feature sets coming out at the end of the year, wow :)
and ve3d says hl patch could be as early as tomorrow morning (late tomorrow morning).
also, a reminder that x-men the third trailer will be out this friday. anyone seen it yet? i think it's tied to fat momma's house (like hell i'm going to watch that movie).

You never have a clue as to what you or anyone else is talking about. Get a grip. Get a life. And grow up.

I remember reading that the v3's didn't support SMP for like Q3/other SMP enabled games (if there are any). (Obviously other things will still use both processors, just not 3d games). well... was the v3 problem just in Q3 SMP, or will they not run SMP at all?
thanks

If you vote for Hillary Clinton you have no honor..
No way I'm getting this card. When I boot up, it'll be like a jet taxing for takeoff.
If you zoom the picture of the one with the fans in, those appear to be 3-pin fans, so they can monitor speed and tell when one fails at least.

Anyway, from Thresh's Part III of the FSAA wars.
4x 640x480 Comparison
When we cranked the cards to 4x sampling there was absolutely no confusion as to which card had the better FSAA. I end up sounding like a 3DFX monkey, but I couldn't really care less which card does better. I have no loyalty to either company. I let my poor eyes decide which card was the best. With that said, I have to say that Voodoo owned every bit-depth, every resolution, and every API. There was no mistaking one card for the other in these tests. The Voodoo's 4x simply dominated.
