I bought a Voodoo3 2000 AGP. It is fantastic. No video problems at all. N3 runs as smooth as can be using Glide. I can a Celeron 300a processor. The game runs so smooth.

Just curious, i have a 8meg Diamond PCI Voodoo2 card..... just curious what kind of improvements i'd get purchasing a Voodoo3 AGP 16 meg card with NASCAR 3? Any help would be appreciated :)

V3 2000 AGP is the most bang for the buck. D. Cook > Just curious, i have a 8meg Diamond PCI Voodoo2 card..... just curious what > kind of improvements i'd get purchasing a Voodoo3 AGP 16 meg card with NASCAR > 3? Any help would be appreciated :)
I'd suggest the V3 3000. It can be had online for $150.00 or less, and there's a good chance you can overclock it at or near V3 3500 levels. I wouldn't consider the 3500 because the price is much greater and the additional features relate more to playing on a TV, DVD playback, etc. Ken
Buy a TNT2u for "all" other games. However, in Nascar 3 he's better of with the old Voodoo 2 card. See screenshots at: http://www2.dicom.se/peter/compare1.jpg http://www2.dicom.se/peter/compare2.jpg http://www2.dicom.se/peter/comparesmall.jpg (These were done on my Mac at work, hence the window styles etc.) Also see my thread "Nascar 3 graphics comparisons" from a few days back. /petern

Wow! D3D looks very fuzzy compared to 3dfx! I tried to compare the 2, knew there was a difference, but could not put my finger on it. Thanks!
