Voodoo4 Shipping

Sounds like it's a Voodoo 3 3000 with 32 bit color and some half assed FSAA.

Same clock speeds across the board I think

Question, is the Voodoo4 a VSA-100 chipset board?

If that's the case, when they say 32 MB board, does this mean:

- 4 MB frame buffer
- 28 MB split texture buffers (14 MB a piece)

If so, that sucks.

"Voodoo4 4500 delivers 333 Megapixels per second fill rate running at 166 MHz core and memory clocks."

Isn't this what a Voodoo2 SLI delivers too?

Mm... I'll take a Geforce 2 MX, overclock it to 200/210, and run Q3 High Quality at 1024x768x32bit at 60fps (with anisotropic filtering), thanks. Sorry, after this TNT2, I am never going back to bilinear unless I can run 4X FSAA (which helps cover up mipmap lines) in everything application. And I'm never running 16bit again, either.

2X FSAA and Fastest mode has got to be the most retarded setting on Earth. At LEAST turn on the lightmaps before you think about running FSAA. Vertex lighting completely blows. Might as well run picmip 8, gamma 6 tourney-look-like-ass settings while you're at it.

And besides, 2X FSAA is not that wonderful. 4X looks awesome, yes. I think 2X looks closer to no FSAA than 4X. It eliminates 1/4 the artifacts and crawlies and pops that 4X does. Give me 4X, or give me point sampling, thanks.

YEEESSSSS!!! I can finally have software T&L with this baby!

Heh. They don't mention what core or memory clock the Innovision GeForce2 MX is. Considering it is a $115 card, appears to be a stock design, and on the difference in performance between it (on a faster CPU) and my Hercules card, I wager it is the standard clock and memory.

Also, FYI, on the review of the MX card on their site, it scores 116 FPS in Q3A fastest, not 108 FPS like in this review and likewise score 68fps on higest quality, not 66. Seems kind of fishy.

Either way, the similiarly priced ($150) Hercules GeForce MX kicks the crap out of these benchmarks, in my experience.

Buying a voodoo3 card was the worst thing i've ever done. i'm certainly NOT going to buy something by them again.

I thought that initially the V4 wasn't going to be able to do FSAA, since they said it would be to slow to do it and give you reasonable FPS.

Maybe they realized they needed some more stuff on the box because a 32bit color version of the V3 wasn't good enough.

i think some of you people need to share the wealth

you know, I wouldn't mind one of these cards. I don't care if I have the fastest thing out there, so long as it's cheap and preforms well. Plus I want the glide support for dues ex

Wow. Now nobody will buy it.

GeforceII=fastest damn card on block,looks pretty damn good too.
voodoo5 5500=best looking by far,and runs every game you got..
and whoever said get a new cpu was right on,because the 5500 is not exactly slow...:)

I should know,I pissed a few bucks away I'm trying to hold on for the amd ddr chipset,but the 1.1 ghz Tbird is looking sweet,then I'll put the voodoo5 6000 in there if it ever comes out...:)

BTW I'm still keeping my 64mb ddr when I get bored with Diablo and go back to q3...P

FSAA that is my bad,

...P

bahahahahha
thats too funny!
so 3dfx has an overpriced DooDoo5
and because nobody in their right mind would buy one, they release a DooDoo4 that is either a glorified DooDoo3 or a defective DooDoo5.
hmmm, sounds like someone (3dfx) is trying to make up for some serious losses $$$$$
eheh

Then again, it could have been worse. You might have bought a banshee...

Do they have Voodoo5 & 6 for PCI?

too little, too late

lol.

This product will really turn TDFX's future around!

Saw a review were is isn't much faster that a voodoo3 or tnt2. Better to get a Geforce IImx
