Image Quality
Image quality in 2D and 3D is identical to the Voodoo3 2000. That means 2D output is excellent, easily running up to 1600x1200 without any problems. The 300 MHz RAMDAC keeps refresh rates at 75 Hz or high until you exceed 1920x1440. However, 3D image quality is not quite as good. 3dfx has yet to implement a chip that supports 32-bit rendering or texture sizes greater than 256x256. Granted, 3dfx has arguably the best 16-bit rendering out there using the latest set of drivers, but it’s still not as good as other cards’ 32-bit.

It was my first 3dfx card back in the day. It was a good old days back then. I miss those Glide games.
