The chip itself was not as powerful as the TNT2 series; it didn´t render 32-bit colour and only supported a texture resolution of 256x256. However 3DFX have always had a ´fill rate, fill rate, fill rate´ policy that enabled the Voodoo 3 to run at a respectable frame rate at much higher resolutions than the TNT2. So what? Well the Voodoo 3 2000 is well under half the price of any GeForce based card at the moment and a TNT2 based card for the same price as a 2000
could not compete. A 2000 may be well suited to a super budget gaming system plus it´s a real overclocker´s card. Well, all of the above ideas could, with some imagination, be applied to most graphics cards anyway. If you´re on a budget, or a mental overclocker Voodoo 3´s aren´t dead.
