Good Card (emphasize good) [Posted on 2001-03-28]
This is a great workhorse card, it tackles any driver I came across. It didn't work with a few games I had and I couldn't find a patch for some of them, but it worked pretty well otherwise. It isn't blazing fast and doesen't have all of the bells and wistles, but with it's 16mb's it will be running games sufficiently for a long time to come. You'll get your money's worth with this card.
Excellent for mid level gamers (I guess) [Posted on 2001-03-30]
Like many others writing reviews for this card, I too had an integrated AGP on the motherboard. Installing this card was not much of a problem. Make sure after your first round of installation, you download the latest drivers from the 3dfx site. The card provides excellent enhancements for most games which I play- currently Alice in Wonderland and Real Myst. Both are fairly graphic intensive games. And the card provides wonderful support. However I am not in a position to speak for people who plan to play games with extraordinary frame rate requirements. Anyways the only reason you would be buying this card is if you dont have an AGP slot on your motherboard and your game requirements are not excessive and you are on a budget. Given these three requirements I think this used to be an excellent solution. Is it still an excellent solution? Remember the company has closed down which means customer support will be minimal with no future software upgrades. If you are worried about that you should probably think about the new Hercules Prophet Geforce PCI card released very recently with 32 MB RAM. Amazon is not selling it as yet for some reason. ....
Still Have It [Posted on 2001-12-01]
I've had the Voodoo3 2000 on my pc for the past 2 years and still can't seem to have the need to change it to something else.
I'm a heavy on-line gamer and am very happy with this video card. Just have to work the jagged edges on some games though. Other than that, I have no regrets owning one.
Still have this today, works great in my old system!!! [Posted on 2006-12-11]
I bought this for my old compac 200mhz pentium processor when it was "state of the art" back in 1997 or so (running windows 1995). 16mb cards were the best you could do at the time. This thing blew the competition out of the water at the time, and is still by far the best graphics card I have seen for computers the age of my old system. I was the first one to have it in a circle of 4 friends, who within 3 weeks all had voodoo3 3000 agps because our 2000 was so good. Flawless, skipless graphics and capatibillity beyond compare at the time with great games like need for speed and nascar legends. This thing did it all. A year or so later, they came out with the 3000 pci, but I was already in love with this unit. A must have for older computer systems.
Great video card, beautiful graphics and a gem from it's time. [Posted on 2006-12-12]
I purchased this card for My Compaq computer back in 1998, and it still is going. Out of date for XP, it still works on my computer using 95b, and would work on 98SE as well. Great smooth graohics, it really spead up the processing time of that old computer when I put it in, releiving the drain on RAM memory. Great for those older computers you may have, a gemm of its time, now out of date as technologies improve and software changes. Absolutely recommend it.
