Canopus or Diamond

Hi all, I know this has probably been covered before, but I would like your opinion on the following question; Is there a preference for the Canopus Pure 3D or Diamond Monster 3D?? My finances will not stretch to a new Voodoo2 card but would like to get at least a Voodoo1 card and would like opinions on both. Thanks Mike \\ ---- Automotive Page - [link lost in import: /;//] \\ ------ Homepage - http://www.lt.pcsa.net.au ------ // \\ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //

The Canopus Pure3d would be a ***e to beat for a Voodoo1 card.

Mike, I love my Pure 3D, I've played on both cards with comparable systems, and the extra 2mg really show. And the price just dropped! Don

I would agree that for Voodoo1, the Quantum is THE KING of the hill. But anyhow, Canopus is pretty good too expecially witht eh additional 2mg but, only selected games can utilise the extra 2mgs. Whereas teh Monster comes bundled with tons of games for you to start. With the intro of V2, the V1 ahs came down in price dramatically. I think canopus is a tad bit more expensive. Hmm....what's my point here?! If you want TV output and planning to play games like Heavy Gear, Forsaken etc, that uses teh extra 2mbs then Canopus is the way to go! Whereas if you migth want to save a few bucks and get a great value V1 and save for V2 later, then the monster is a good bargain. Hope this helps Al
