3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 PCI Card

Installation: Very easy to install. The documentation is very clear and easy to follow. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to hook it up and get it working. No dip switches, no jumpers, just Plug and Play and restart your machine.

Configuration: In my case, the default settings looked just fine. But if you require tweaking you got the 3dfx Tools in your Taskbar where you can control the most used features, such as resolution and color settings. Advanced settings such as antialiasing, alpha- blending and detail bias can also be changed using the tools menu. An excellent Help tool is very useful to understand the purpose of every video setting.

Performance: It was noticeable immediately. I tested it with games such as King's Quest, Mask of Eternity, which had the option of using the 3dfx card and it looked much nicer and performed much faster. BIG improvement there.

After playing demanding games like half-life and Quake III on my intel i810 chipset's integrated graphics, the Voodoo 4 4500 PCI is like a dream come true. The framerates that come from this card are extraordinary. I had very little trouble installing it, and I had no compatibility problems. If you are looking for a good graphics card but you have a tight budget, then this is the card for you.

I thnik the Voodoo 4 4500 is a great product. I upgraded from a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI and I simply love it! I don't like how everyone is saying the MX is so much better than the Voodoo 4. I used to play all my games on a K62-450 and a Voodoo 3 200 PCI and still got great frame rates. So with a machine twice as fast with a better Voodoo card I should love it. The MX has had some issues of not being compatible and also who cares if it is faster. Nvidia is so hyped up on speed and not image quality. 3dfx provides great image quality and good frame rate to have both of them. Just my 2 cents.
