Voodoo 5 card was a good card back when March 3, 2008
Hey you people who are writing bad reviews about this board, this thing is a museum piece, not expected to be a player in todays computers, I have one running in an old P3 1000Mhz with Win 98SE, it runs great, just don't expect to find current software for it,and for it to play nice with any of todays hardware or with todays software. It is a good device if you are running an old P3 w win98se only, that means running games like Quake 1 & 2, Unreal, Unreal Tourn 3 and so on. In its day, this was one of the better 64MB boards, not the fastest, but certainly no slouch, also has one of the best 2D picture clarity on the market at the time
 the last in a line of legends December 11, 2006
This computer card was one of the last ones that was released by voodoo prior to being purchased by Nvidia. This thing had it all, and probably can still hang with the lower end ones available right now, with 64mb of memory, 350mhz ram dac ect...One of the best graphics cards ever built. Only the 6000 version of this was bigger, but this was a great one, highly recommended to all who need a decent card for an older system. I have owned the voodoo 3 2000 and the Voodoo3 3500tv, all are still working and excellent, this is also amongst the crowd. Highly recommended.

1 of the BEST Vid Crdz !!
10+ (FPS/SPEED)
10+ (OpenGL/D3D)
8 (QLTY/CLARITY..NOT 100% PERFECT)

AC 97 (onboard)
MS XP PRO SP1
VOODOO 5500 AGP
(3rd PTY Drv..Voodoolizer 1.4 B6
MANY TYPES TRIED..MANY!!
Problem: installed @ 32MB, Guess
all other drivers tried, only
activated 1 VSA-100 Chip!)
I am 1st, a DIEHARD VOODOO USER ..FROMTHE BEGINING ..( & of course AMD/3DFX COMBO ROXZ FOR GAMING)
FACT 1: NVIDIA & ATI ARE CRAP COMPARED TO 3DFX .. KICK ASS TECH ARCH & DESIGN COST MONEY!! YOU WANT THE BEST BUY VOODOO..TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS, DUMP THOSE OTHER CRDZ IN THE TRASH, & SPEND THE $!!
FACT 2: READ CARD SPEC,DESIGN OF THE CARD & IT's ABILITIES .. ENOUGH SAID !!
FACT 3: CS 1.5 (All VERY HIGH POLY MODELS!)
OpenGL 1024x768 w/ 3DFX Glide/Mini Drvz
.. 100 FPS FLAT!! LUV'n IT !!P.S. Regretfully, Consumers R tight wads, and most of U spend your money on inferior & BUG/CLITCH & UPDATE HEADACHES > NO THNX
If U R going to buy a Vid Crd for any kinda 3D/2D, buy THIS 1 (or better) .. QUALITY, SPEED, CLARITY, FLAWLESS GAME USAGE..so far about 20-25 3D & 2D games tested, ERROR FREE !! Sorry to see Voodoo 3DFX close up. U will be missed !! PUBLIC: DONT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON EITHER NVIDIA or ATI ... VOODOO 5500 FOR AROUND $100.00 NOW ~ DEAL OF THE CENTURY ~ .. APU

This video card is terrible. Okay, so 3dfx don't exist any more, but let this be a lesson to you to always research before you buy. The Voodoo 5 was such a bad card that it is used as the standard against which bad products are held in the gaming community right now. The positive reviews were from people who loved 3dfx back when they were a good company that did good things. There is a reason they went out of business after releasing this card.
