Hexus has updated their Voodoo5 5500 review.
When I first heavily got into Computers, the 3dfx Voodoo 1 had just been released. This video card was the card to have and yeah - I got it! I regretted it a few months later when the 3dfx Voodoo 2 was released and ever since that I´ve felt that 3dfx have been lacking a bit, in the shadow of NVIDIA. But hey, competition happens - just like Intel and AMD. I must admit I do like NVIDIA cards a lot and I have a GeForce 2 GTS that is in my main machine, but I thought to be fair I would have to compare it to the Voodoo 5 series so I contacted 3dfx to get a card.Read more
