3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 - Quake 3 (December 1999) 

@@BigMuff75 one of the best games of 1999 with probably the most advanced graphics of that time. And it run very well on a Voodoo 3 2000 in 1024x768 maximum details.

@@mundocpc the Geforce 256 was really expensive in late 1999 and 2000. Elsa was a german company as fas as I know. I also have a TNT2 made by Elsa.

@@efpcvintageplanet3406 Considering that the Voodoo 3 2000 was a mid-range card sold for 129 $ and released almost a year before Quake 3 it still manages to run the game very very well in 1024x768 with all details at maximum.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 I know. Bought it in march 2000 with a Pentium 3 533 MHz. Still have🤩

@@RealHero101111 Quake 3 runs surprisingly well with the Voodoo 3 2000 in 1024x768 maximum details. And Quake 3 not only was released almost 1 year after the Voodoo 3 but it also had very high system requirements for that period.

@@jaceklutrzykowski thank you

@@jayhool5482 one of the best games of the 90s.

@@servantofthealmighty77 those were great times to be a gamer.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 I'm in my early 60's I still love to play. I have a RTX GPU still playing RT versions of Quakes. I love it.

@@Duchovicius1983 Quake 3 works very well with a Riva TNT1 in 800x600. The first time I played it was on a Riva TNT and Celeron 400 mhz back in 1999.

@@chaser1254 the difference between the highest and lowest FPS is pretty big. But overall it’s a very pleasant experience in 1024x768 maximum details.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 My Riva TNT released more than a year before the Voodoo 3 performed much better with Q3, if I remember well.

@@novinovic298 That is true for very CPU dependent games like Max Payne, Deus Ex, Warcraft 3, etc. But Quake 3 is not very CPU dependent, the P3 650 mhz doesn’t bottleneck the Voodoo 3. I tested it with much fast CPUs and the frame rate is the same.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Intresting considering other games based on Quake 3 engine do like strong CPU myb not as much as some other engines but it helps. I wish someone will do a proper retrospective of cpu performance in most popular engines of late 90s-early 00s era

@@novinovic298 yes later games that used the Quake 3 engine needed faster CPUs to run well. But Quake 3 being the first game to use the IdTech 3 engine, not so much, in 1024x768 a P3 500 mhz does not bottleneck a Voodoo 3 or TNT2.

@@Wobbothe3rd that's correct but I make those videos to see the FPS with the Voodoo cards in the games of that time. Image quality is of secundary importance.

@@jake_reviews_games Thank you. I tried to run Interstate 76 in Glide with the Banshee and Voodoo 3 but I couldn’t make it run properly. If I remember correctly the game showed some visual artifacts no matter what I tried. I will have to try again to make it run and if it works I will certainly upload a video with it :)

@@halfben7991 thank you

@@metalmartin6.6.6 lightmap means higher details then vertex. With lightmap it looks better and runs with lower FPS.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 You're right, my mistake :)

@@wowitsshit9734 A few months ago I tested Quake 3 with 3dfx OpenGL and curiously it was a little slower than with default OpenGL. The difference was minimal anyway.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 oh that's weird
