Sharky Extreme has posted a Voodoo4 4500 review.



The Voodoo4 4500 uses a single VSA-100 processor running at 166MHz. The VSA-100 can draw two pixels per clock with one texture per pixel, giving it a 333Mpixel fill rate and a 333Mtexel fill rate. It matches to 32MB of 166MHz SDR SDRAM via a 128-bit memory bus. This SDRAM backs up the VSA-100 with about 2.7GBps of memory bandwidth, which is fine for low-resolution 3D gaming but does not supply enough bandwidth for high-resolution 3D work. Having 32MB of SDRAM helps when running at high-resolutions in software with an overabundance of textures, but as you will see later on, the speed of the Voodoo4 4500 AGP keeps at resolutions where 32MB won´t help you much over 16MB. The card has no TV-out or DVI-out.
