4x FSAA looks great when your system can keep up, 64MB memory can't be a bad thing.
Cons:
Price, Some gamers may expect the V5 to cure all their gaming ills, when what they really need is a processor upgrade.
Overall Rating:
(4.5 out of 5)
Introduction
3dfx was gracious enough to provide the 3d Retreat with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP board for us to preview. This preview will focus primarily on
the card's performance in Rogue Spear: Urban Operations, since everyone uses Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament to test a video card. The board
we received is the final release quality board. The board also came with what will be the shipping Voodoo 5 5500 drivers. Full scene
anti-aliasing (FSAA) is the key feature on the Voodoo, and it can make your games look down right gorgeous. Especially if you combine the
V5 with a high speed P3 or Athlon.
The Voodoo 5 5500 AGP has many strong points, FSAA (full scene anti-aliasing) being the key one. Getting rid of the "jaggies" with
minimal frame rate loss allows for a wonderful gaming experience; no matter what game you play. Gamers out there churning away on anything
less than a 32MB card would be hard pressed not to consider the Voodoo 5 5500 a great upgrade.
