i saw this on ebay... im pretty sure this guy is full of shite

"Diamond Monster 3D II x 2.

Below is a link to drivers for windows xp, these cards will run doom3 with about 60fps, very playable but alot of the detail is not present due to lack of technology on the cards. Halflife and all the addons for halflife run beautifully on a pair of these. Quake 3 runs perfect in 1024x768 along with Unreal Tournament. They are trully awesome cards "

fyi they are 2, 8mb cards with sli.
 
Well, he didn't give any information about the resolution/details, and I'm sure there's a setting, no matter how low, which allows these two cards to perform at 60FPS in Doom 3.
 
Doom3 on a V5-6000

Doom 3 isn't really playable on the Voodoo 5 6000 because its lack of T&L support (remember that it's a 5 years old card), the best that we can do with all options set to the minimum is something like 5-10fps in 640x480 and thus is unplayable. Because we are a bit vicious, we tried to set the maximal quality to see what we could get, at this point we had around 0.5fps ;) Click on the pictures to enlarge them

yep, remember, he said in the "auction" they had low IQ :p and figure this is a newer card than the ones in the auction so i can only think they supoprt more aswell 0_0 id hate to see what the ones in the auction look like :p
 
Lol who cares you could spend 40-50 bucks and get a graphics card that would put them 3dfx cards to shame.

I went SLI for $20...

Works great on my K6-2/500mhz with 256mb RAM.
 
here's a set of screenshots from voodoo2 doom3 action.

i still miss having my voodoo 2 in my computer :(
 
OMG 3dfx :( I so miss them, true innovators. I had most of their cards heheh. My last one of theirs was the 5500 agp. Truely an amazing company that is sorely missed.

I do believe most of their core engineers are with nvidia now, and all this new sli stuff we see from nvidia is a testiment to 3dfx I think. Nvidia never did a dual card solution back in the pci only days, nor did they choose to on single cards. We have that yet again.

What I miss the most is glide, which was an amazing programming language that was widely supported up until they were taken overy by nvidia, then it died off. I still think if they were still around glide would be one of the dominant supported languages giving you a speed boost above everyone else =).
