Ya know, if this is true of a v5500, it will be true of a v6000 as well. Would such to see your $600 card reduced to a $100 card by just playing a D3D game. hehehehe

Nothing better to get the nvidia fanboys out than a 3dfx glitch. Oh no, we won't talk about the nvidia bad crap. :)

I will say that I _had_ a GF in an Athlon 650 with the EPoX MB and a 350 Watt Power Supply. Never had a hardware problem. Did have software 'glitches' here and there. Everything was configured right. Their drivers have lots of check-boxes and sliders to play with, but really not worth much.

Visually the GF is beaten by the v5. Hands down. Odd, isn't it?

I didn't know that the v5 supportes SLI. Talk about nostalgia. I think I'm gonna blow 800 bux just so I can relive that feeling.

part of the whole "add on accelerator" thing. Damn those were the days.
Quake 2. Unreal. Voodoo2. Oh baby that was fun. My K6-200 hauled ass back then too.

Why does everybody hate VooDoo? I am a proud Nvidia owner and am dieing to get a Voodoo5 for it's FSAA and racing games. Sure, the GF2 does that too but it cost way too much.

#20, I think there's a little more to it than that.

Maybe If I start typing wrong ause a bunch of ascii characters, people will think I'm "kewl". Then I can jump on the v5 "sux" bandwagon.

Yea the voodoo5 does suck.. except when keeping in mind it makes all older games look better than Nvidia cards. Not sure about games of the future.
