I think you're correct. Hopefully one day I'll find one so I can put it to the test. Also the 440BX chipset is a little faster from what I've heard so I'd like to test that also.

Yeah you don't get much more by going to 1Ghz. I think 600-800 with a voodoo 3 is a great machine. I find windows 98 is so hard to build for, you almost need 3 machines to cover everything but it's fun.

@ctrlzretro Yes, that's true if you want to be able to play every game. You can make one machine that can play most games but there would be compromises.

Heck yeah, thanks! Also congrats on your build!

Haha too many friendships forged with 3dfx. So many lan parties in the garage running on nothing but mountain dew and red Barron pizza. I can't forget.

@@ctrlzretro but you still bad at games? lol

That's a really subjective argument when the benchmarks show major improvements, and all the quake engine games benefit from FPS due to the bunny hop physics being tied to FPS. 800mhz is "enough", but a 1ghz CPU user could beat you in Quake. Not that skill isn't a factor, as I once modded a Pentium 1 with a voodoo 2 to take to lan parties and won getting around 30 FPS using forced low settings and glide. Some games won't even run on a Pentium 1 because of CPU instructions, but glide bypasses the CPU checks. At the time I think I had heavily modified Windows 95 to the version 3 with feature parity of 98, so it was the fastest you could make a Pentium 1, since 95 used less resources, and I filled all the RAM slots. I don't think it was even using sdram, but it played games fine using glide. A bigger problem with retro gaming today is CRTs are mostly all burned out, so you need a LCD, and thus NEED more FPS than a CRT to enjoy gaming.

Nice! Do you remember the specs?

You and me both! The FX 5600 is the fastest I have so far. If you find one let me know

@@ctrlzretro i have 5950ultra and 5700ultra(card error) but 5600ultra is hard to collect.and 5800ultra（Not hard but 5800u too expensive ） FX5800seris is a legend

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! It took me a long time to find one. The seller had it listed as a 3000 but the bios sticker on the card gave me a clue that it may be worth the chance.

Yeah looking back I think the GeForce 3 TI 200 was one of the best values for the time imo. I had no idea about the 5700LE's over clocking potential. I may create a video on that thanks for the idea!

@ that would be very interesting to see the maximum potential of the 5700LE and also TI200.

I have collect Geforce3 Ti 500 🤣XD

Thanks for the sub and the comment. Feels good to hear some feedback. Part 3 out tomorrow

I didnt know for sure but according to falconfly's website they have a handy part number table to identify 3dfx cards. According to what I can find it looks like its a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI but we will see when I can get it installed into my retro machine. Thanks for the reply falconfly.3dfx.pl/identify-3dfx.htm
