The Voodoo5 5500 AGP from 3dfx is the next stage in the evolution of ultrahigh-resolution gaming. Utilizing a revolutionary scalable architecture, the Voodoo5 5500 AGP features dual 3dfx VSA-100 chips for more 3-D horsepower. Working in parallel, these processors produce over 667 megatexels per second to create extraordinary 3-D worlds in vivid 32-bit color. Boasting state-of-the-art, real-time, full-scene hardware antialiasing; the exclusive T-Buffer digital cinematic effects engine; 64 MB of graphics memory for top performance; and support for 2-D resolutions as high as 2,048 x 1,536, the Voodoo5 5500 AGP gives today's PC gamers the raw 3-D power and premium 2-D performance they crave.
Buyer Reviews :
As you will see in many reviews that the Voodoo 5500 doesn't have the 'horsepower' of the G-Force 2 GTS. This is totally true from the speed side of the house (has a higher pixel fill rate). The difference between them is simple. If you like video games just to aimlessly run around a maze like a mouse trying to shoot other people you might want to consider the G-Force series cards. But if enjoy the effects, awesome detail and flowing graphics along with some of the most stable drivers in the industry THIS IS THE CARD FOR YOU. If you have seen my review of the Voodoo 4500 PCI card you know I like what the Voodoo series of cards can do. Since the 4500, I have upgraded my motherboard and it now supports AGP expansion. So I looked and finally bought the 5500 AGP. I cannot believe the QUALITY of the hardware and drivers! That should be 5 stars alone. The FSAA does work and some uneducated people call this 'full sceen blurring' untrue. The effect FSAA has on games is incredible! 3DFX is sadly now just a page of numbers at NVIDIA corp. I have trust in them to produce cards that are diverse like continuing the Voodoo line and not just a Voodoo/G-Force hybrid. If you find this card and look at the scenes when playing a game instead of just beating it then pick it up and by the way it is less money then the older G-Force 2 GTS try and buy a GTS 'PRO' or 'Ultra' for the same price. Hope this helps.
