What my friend should choose: Voodoo3 2000 or Stealth III S540???

[bauerbrazil]

^^^^ Thats all folks

 

[AlphaIVT]

Get the Voodoo3 2000, Savage3D sucks

 

[bauerbrazil]

Thanks, more opinions pls

 

[LXi]

V3 2000 definitely. Even the lowly Velocity 100(V3 with 8megs) is suffice outduel a Savage4.

 

[Adul]

V3 v3 v3 v3

better yet, a geforce 2 MX

 

[urbantechie]

V3 hands down.

 

[DeezNtz]

Without a doubt go for the V3 2000. S3 chips sucks a$$. The V3 2000 will perform much better.

 

[prontospyder]

Voodoo3 2K

 

[OS]

V3 2k, there won't be anymore driver updates from s3 now that they sold off their graphics division.

 

[Vegito]

Yeap, exactly. Voodoo is widely supported.. stealth.. almost zero

 

[Hardware]

how about geforce2 mx?

 

[Stosh]

Not everbody has $300 to spend on a video card....I still don't think you can get a better card for $70 (or less) GO VOODOO!

 

[dawheat]

another V3 2K vote. Nothing is simpler than the V3s, you pop them in, load up current drivers and bam- worry free and problem free. Its pretty fast for anyone except hardcore gamers- and it has excellent 2D to boot- and is hellz cheap. I've seen them going for $50-55 shipped in the FS forums

 

[Stosh]

I found it here for $65 + $12.95 shipping..Total cost $77.95

 

[Stark]

v3 is a great card

 

[kuk]

Quer comprar minha Stealth III S540 PCI?

For those of you who didn't understand, it's none of your business :Q

 

[NOSOUP4U]

i dont have the v3, but I have used the s540 and they're nothing special.

 

[Mule]

one of my friends had a Savage and whenever he played Unreal T. his comp. would freeze up within a few minutes. He didn't even overclock. Savage sucks bigtime. NEVER EVER BUY A SAVAGE CARD.

 

[Noriaki]

Definately the Voodoo3

It's got pretty good 2D and decent 3D speed in Glide, D3D and OpenGL.

Try and step up to a GeForce 2MX, but if he can't afford it, then the V3. Don't bother with anything based on Savage3D (or S4 for that matter).

Seriously, 3dfx and nVidia are the only companies you should really consider for a Video card. ATi's Radeon is pretty good...but their Driver support has yet to be proven. With the release of the Turbo GL drivers, Matrox can finally keep up with the V3 and TNT2, but for about 2x the price...Matrox has other things going for them, but unless you want something specific from a matrox card, they are a very expensive choice compared to nVidia and 3dfx (at the same power level of course).
S3 is kind of a joke. I can't believe Via actually bought their graphics division, they might as well have bought Trident

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Hey now don't diss Trident!

 

[bauerbrazil]

LOL, Trident is suck

Thanks for the replies guys.

And we have a winner!!! Voodoo3 2000. I already talked to my friend

 

[Soccerman]

yeah Voodoo 3 is STILL the ultimate low end card.. what I don't get is why any of the Geforce series cards haven't reached the ~$100 price level yet. it's been OVER a year already since the first Geforce came out..
