Question Where to Find a Voodoo 3 for Sale

[Ryder252]

I'm working on a Windows 98 retro build. Anyone know where I can get a deal on a used Voodoo 3 3000? I know they're in demand and hard to come by - any help's appreciated.

Ebay of most places or places where second hand stuff is sold. yard sales where people clear out their basements are also another possibility.

A few decent looking ones on ebay right now. Are you going for AGP or PCI?

Why?! That's basically a better DOS card, with 16Mb of graphics ram it won't get you far for windows games.

Get a more modern card with 98 support, get some ideas here.

There is a whole slew of games that have their best graphics options only available to 3DFX cards. While those faster cards can do OpenGL and Software rendering at faster frame rates, they don't look like Glide games.

If OP is going to play games from the mid to late 90s, 3dfx Glide was pretty much the de facto standard. It wasn't really until NVIDIA came out with the original GeForce did 3dfx finally lose the crown.
