- Still one of my favourite games from 1997! Here you can see, how the VSA-100 can improve the image quality in Need for Speed 2 SE. Side by side comparison without and with 8x FSAA and in the end with a picture of all FSAA settings that the Voodoo 5 6000 supports!
Resolution: 640x480x32 (force 32 Bit color in glide driver setting) with and without 8x FSAA in 3dfx Glide mode!
Driver settings: 0:18
Side by side comparison: 0:42
All FSAA settings: 5:19

Back when big games included good metal tracks.
NFS2 is a technical milestone. Its engine served as a foundation for the legendary NFS3 and NFS4 games.
NFSII was ok, but far from a milestone. It's predecessor was a milestone.
@@armorgeddon I agree it wasn't a milestone on its own and the original NFS was way better in every aspect. I was talking about it being a technical milestone for the development of NFS3 and NFS4 game engines.
Ok, I can agree with that :-) Greets!
Need for Speed II SE ♥
8xfsaa with the best card everseen during our epoch.
yah this second edition is one of my best, no matter the others with the best graphic, thx for the music given in this project.
Need for Speed 2 Special Edition, played a lot in 1997 on my Pentium 133 machine with Voodoo 1 card!
The anti-aliasing was the best qualitative feature of the VSA-100 at the time. No other Grafichip got to this quality in the year 2000!
Too late and too slow to make a difference. Super sampling was just very expensive; this is effectively rendering the image 8 times with slight sub-pixel offsets (a rotated grid), with a max of 2 offsets for each VSA-100 chip. For 8x AA you needed 4 chips. It was in direct competition with the geforce 2 GTS, a faster card. Voodoo 5 6000 with 8xSSAA got 44 FPS in quake III demo four. You were much better off just cranking up the resolution in any game that was current except for very old games like Half-life or Need for speed 2 where it delivered the best quality. MSAA replaced SSAA, not because it was better quality or looked better, it was just cheap enough to actually use in practice.
It was the same story with AF. R300 and geforce FX actually downgraded AF quality by only using it where the card thought it was needed (depending on view angle and texture stretch). However the estimation of where it was needed was not very good and left out some off-axis geometry that should have had AF. But still, you could just set 8x or 16x AF and it would look tonnes better than the 2-4x AF you could have afforded on a radeon 8500 or geforce 4 ti.
very nice presentation with/wo FSAA ! i love all your reviews man :) Gratuliere !!! klasse arbeit ;)
Very nice :) love those video's
Great video! ^_^
I like game - Pizda Zalupa. Worked perfectly on the VooDoo 3500
I loved this game! Never had a 3dfx sadly.
Back then in 2001 I knew the performance of Voodoo 5 5500 couldn't compete with Geforce 2 GTS, yet I still chose Voodoo over Geforce, because of FSAA, Geforce couldn't compete it with Voodoo 5.
Also I'm still wondering how you guys acquired Voodoo 5 6000 back then, since it wasn't officially sold in the market.
If only NFSII SE's Glide-mode contained the cockpit view. The lack of it made me play the game with the software renderer only.
great vid! i wish i could have a Voodoo 5 6000
Good to see a V5-6000 running. Yet for some reason, I like my Orchid V1 better. And I have no clue on why?
The clicking sound of the Orchid for example. 🙂
@@3DfxAslinger Yup. One of the reasons. It is good to see the 6000 running anyway. Take care of it, as it is way more a historic piece than what bang you get for what buck you gave. 😁
@@brostenen I have clicky voodoo from 1996 as well ;)

I really like that track starting at 5.20. How is it called?
Rom Di Prisco - Romulus 3, the music in the Main Menu of Need for Speed 2 (SE)
@@3DfxAslinger I found it on SoundCloud. Awesome! He has more cool tracks which I will use for running! :-)
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I'm having issues with my installation. The audio isn't synced and plays 1-2 seconds later, as well as the FPS varies from 45-60 even with Vsync on. I've done all of the fixes and patches available already. Please lend me a hand if possible. Thanks in advance.
What hardware? Emulating, or on a real Retro PC with 3dfx card?
@@3DfxAslinger I'm on a modern system running Windows 10 64bit on a second gen i5, 6GB of RAM and an onboard GPU.
I can only try to help, because I never used a 3dfx glide emulation, or playing this nice old classic games on a modern PC. You have tried out this fixes, also with the guide for audio problems? pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed_II#Fixing_major_compatibility_issues_on_modern_systems I would also try out with a seperate graphics card from AMD or NVIDIA, if available, if nothing helps.
That’s interesting, that without fsaa game looks too brightness, like it runs with Voodoo 1 or 2. To be honest, after Voodoo 4500, which was my original main gaming card, using Voodoo 2 in other retro PC, make me understand, that I like Nvidia rendering quality better, it’s more darker, sharper. So as I noticed watching videos, Voodoo 3,4,5 & 6 gives that kind of quality. As always like
can you do a Midtown Madness 2 comparison?
Yes, or you look in the channel of 3dfxhistory. He has made some videos of midtown madness 2 on the 6k.
Hi. Would you be able to sell ATI Radeon 8500 to me? Thanks
This is one of my favourite ATI cards that I have searched for a very long time...
@@3DfxAslinger It's great for 2001 ultimate pc. I have:
Epox 8KHA+
Athlon 1.6
SB Audigy 1
PS: temporailrly using Elsa Gf2 Ultra but looking for Radeon 8500 for proper time period parts
