3dfx was the king of the graphics card world in the 90s, and in a flash they were gone. The Voodoo 5 6000 was the last GPU 3dfx produced, and released – Could it have changed the face of PC gaming?

Never had 3dfx card… only had matrox mystique, Riva tnt2, geforce2 ultra and Radeon 9700pro was the final.
The great 'graphic cards war' period. People are just into it building up their gaming pcs. Crazy times.
Didn't… Didn't Gamers Nexus do this already? Oh yeah, a month ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aMiEszQBik
Pity he didn't mentioned the work Oskhar has been doing in Spain by fixing many cards for years. Also, replacing chips with improved versions …many thanks for doing this video. I loved it.
Thats my old PC tower! Give it back to me! 🥰
imagine a card like this with 4 4090 Gpus slapped on there it would be a monstrous beast..
Thats Crazy! I had only the Vodooo 5 5500 AGP whit Box
You gotta test that bad boy on bungholiomarks
I think that I still have that exact PC case… Somewhere. Probably packed up in a box.
Huh. I also had a Riva TNT 2. I remember it being much more affordable for it's performance vs. the Voodoo 3.
That belongs in a museum!
Pls make a video in bad antialaising on 1080p in all games no antialaising setting works like msaa smaa fxaa not even taa works properly
I love 3DFX and their funny commercials! My first 3dfx card was the Voodoo 2 in SLI. I remember how much better the graphics looked with the Glide API. Doom 2 with glide was like playing a new game! And i was fragging with Godlike and Massacre on a regular basis in Unreal Tournament. Mechwarrior 2 look amazing too.
My last 3DFX card was the Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP. Thats was good but not as much a game changer as Voodoo 2 was.
I had a Voodoo 3 3500 and it was a nice card for the time, but definitely a mixed bag. The graphical quality was the best in games that supported it well – Unreal Tournament for instance, you could run right up to a wall and admire fine grained textures on things. It ran very smoothly too… but was highly unstable if you did anything but play the game. Games had to run in fullscreen mode and if you alt-tabbed an accelerated game, you were headed for a crash. Many titles needed a special MiniGL driver. The video capture was choppy and low quality garbage – I bought a Hauppauge card to handle it eventually that outclassed it every way for capture.
OMG, make a new video. I've been ignoring this video fpr 2 days.
I had a handful of 3dfx cards back in the day. I was a total 3dfx fan and even owned a vodoo 5 5500. I was soo mad at nvidia for killing them that I did not buy an nvidia based card for a decade.
Ah yes better title, different thumbnail too?
I am a proud TNT2 16mb owner. 👏
Wow, a $600 GPU? That's unheard of!
