This video card is terrible. Okay, so 3dfx don't exist any more, but let this be a lesson to you to always research before you buy. The Voodoo 5 was such a bad card that it is used as the standard against which bad products are held in the gaming community right now. The positive reviews were from people who loved 3dfx back when they were a good company that did good things. There is a reason they went out of business after releasing this card.

the last in a line of legends [Posted on 2006-12-11]
This computer card was one of the last ones that was released by voodoo prior to being purchased by Nvidia. This thing had it all, and probably can still hang with the lower end ones available right now, with 64mb of memory, 350mhz ram dac ect...One of the best graphics cards ever built. Only the 6000 version of this was bigger, but this was a great one, highly recommended to all who need a decent card for an older system. I have owned the voodoo 3 2000 and the Voodoo3 3500tv, all are still working and excellent, this is also amongst the crowd. Highly recommended.
Voodoo 5 card was a good card back when [Posted on 2008-03-03]
Hey you people who are writing bad reviews about this board, this thing is a museum piece, not expected to be a player in todays computers, I have one running in an old P3 1000Mhz with Win 98SE, it runs great, just don't expect to find current software for it,and for it to play nice with any of todays hardware or with todays software. It is a good device if you are running an old P3 w win98se only, that means running games like Quake 1 & 2, Unreal, Unreal Tourn 3 and so on. In its day, this was one of the better 64MB boards, not the fastest, but certainly no slouch, also has one of the best 2D picture clarity on the market at the time
