Guru3D has posted a review of the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP video card.
3dfx recently released their new flagship the Voodoo5 5500. With a new graphics processor (may I say GPU ?) they have made a fine addition from it´s predecessor the Voodoo3 series videocard. The Voodoo5 finally has full support for 32Bit color in games, has a new feature (T-Buffer) and of course has improved performance. The new generation Voodoo cards is built around 3dfx´s hottest chip called the VSA-100. The advantage of this chip is simply that it can be coupled/combined in SLI mode (a feature that we already knew from the Voodoo2 series videocards). Theoretically you can place up-to 32 VSA-100 chips on a videocard. Considering that each chip uses 15 Watts and needs 32Mb memory we might as well buy an external generator next to the PC for such a card LOL! The Voodoo5 5500 AGP we tested sports two 166MHz VSA-100 processors. The Voodoo4 will have one VSA-100 and Voodoo 5 6000 will sport 4 VSA-100 processors.Read more
