GameSpot 3D Roundup

The GameSpot folks have posted one of those end-all be-all 3D card showdown thingies taking a look at the card lineups from ATI, 3dfx, NVidia, 3DLabs, and S3. (Along with all the different versions from other vendors based on the chipsets from those guys)

- The Hercules Dynamite TNT2. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. It clocks higher and runs more stable than any other TNT2 board with a built-in performance slider. But it's no slouch at its default 175/200 speed. Now if Hercules can just write a decent setup program....
- The Voodoo3/3000 is the price/performance leader for 3D games. It's very nearly as fast in 16-bit games as the Xentor or Hercules boards. Think of it as the Dodge Viper of graphics cards - stripped down to the bare essentials, what it does do, it does very well.
