I don't know if the price is right but it does not surprise me if it is that high. Some RETAILERS still sell the cards at its original SRP even if the product has been on the store shelves for nearly a year. You can still see Voodoo5 5500 being sold at $US 299 at Pricewatch, for example. If you have...

When a NVIDIA employee posting under an alias wrote that there were no 7.27 drivers, guess what happened? Zoiah said that he was no employee and that he was lying. So yeah, some people will go out of their way to believe that a "miracle" would happen, even if it means mindlessly bashing so...

Over at 3DGPU and 3dfxgamers forums, there is 'Sharkfood' trying his best to advertise this brand spanking new HSR drivers. Amusing what some people would do. In this thread, cobosdan hasn't said anything yet that I can see. But that is because, he is quoting other people and letting them do the tal...

As I mentioned in this thread ( http://www.pcabusers.net/forums/showthread.php?postid=4458#post4458 ), 3DGPU's forum has a snapshot of what the V5 has to offer ( http://forums.nv10.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002873.html ). There is an example of the image glitches often mentioned. The author of the screens...

http://forums.nv10.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002873.html This thread over at 3DGPU shows a screenshot of what the V5 has to offer with the new HSR drivers. The author of the picture notes that there were "flashes" where the frame is not drawn properly. He had to take several screenshots in a ro...

Considering that the TNT2 Ultra can beat the Voodoo5 5500 pretty badly in MDK2, then yeah I'm waiting for the price to drop---to drop even more. 800x600x32: TNT2 Ultra--63.0 FPS, Voodoo5 5500--41.1 FPS The Ultra (that is a TNT2 Ultra, not a GeForce2 GTS Ultra) is only about 50% faster. And remember,...

Yes, you can play games using the Voodoo5 5500 PCI and another 3D capable card like the Radeon. However, you have to remember that you can only play 3D games on your PRIMARY card (either the PCI or AGP). That is, 3D acceleration is only present on the primary card. The other card will only be in 'so...

Just took a quick peek at some of the posts. It seems that the video graphics board has turned into an anti-3dfx coalition. What happened to those "3dfx to the end" people?

Oh yeah, Corn, I kept it within one page (1600x1200 resolution, medium fonts, etc.). I believe that is a record for me.
