Title: picking a 3dfx card?
Post by 3dfxdragon on 08.05.08 at 15:23:24
hello from my first day of posting as a new user after looking at this forum a bit for like a few months now  :P

anyhow I was wondering if anyone could suggest which agp cards I probably could try look for to buy on a budget if I need it for tnt-equival games (I do own Descent2 so that should be fun to see what the glide graphics actually look like  ;D ) and perhaps has tv-out as well?

the motherboard is just an old microatx with nothing special onboard so pci slots are limited hence why I don't think I could pick a pci card at all

I can't help thinking of the 3500TV but I'll be happy with anything else  :)

If it has to be dirt cheap, the widespread Voodoo3 3000 should be your most bang for the buck.

Not much slower than the Voodoo3 3500/TV, but (usually) quite a tad cheaper to aquire.

thanks falconfly

I was just more of not wanting to spend $100+ on just the graphic card alone for an old pc thats gotten a few healthy upgrades in past but isn't going to see any more [after the graphic card] just for the sake of the value of it if you get my drift
