    3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP Review
    May 2000
    Q3A Without FSAA

    The GeForce pulls into an early lead in the fastest setting, I guess that's why they say it performs better on low-end systems. But its lead is steadily decreased and at 1280x1024, the Voodoo5 by a good margin overtakes it. It's safe to say that the 64MB of memory on board is an advantage in high resolution gameplay. 1280x1024 seems to be the ideal resolution to play in because of the performance point of the Voodoo5. It's good to finally see a Voodoo card go over 100fps in Quake III.

    Again, we see the GeForce getting to an early lead but this time it's taken by the Voodoo5 at 1024x768. Also, notice the large performance difference at 1280x1024.

    Best quality is when the best cards shine and this time it's the Voodoo5 that shines, it beats the competing card by almost 9fps in 1024x768 and showing a similar difference in 1280x1024. It also performs admirably at 26.5 in the highest resolution. Again, we see the power of the VSA-100 chips and the 64MB of RAM.
