4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Video Card, December 29, 2000

This review is from: 3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 AGP Card (Personal Computers)

This video card is nice for the price. But it only comes with software that doesn't allow you to change the refresh rate anything over 85mhz at 800x600 resolution. i'm currently looking for software for it. but this card is very nice. it has plenty of power for almost any game as long as u have enough ram on your computer and plenty of mhz. it comes with a fan on the main chip. the fan provides plently of cooling power. i've played Freespace2 which requires alot of power, Unreal Tournament, which is optimized for 3dfx, and Quake 3 arena and the card handled it with no dropes in frames. but it has 32mb of ram on it, compared to the voodoo 3 3000, which has 16mb. the voodoo 4 4500 AGP, the fan on it helps out alot. i've benched marked it, and the benchmark ran a few videos in very nice dvd quality, and it handled it without frame drop at 1024x768, it ran nicely at 40fps, the temperate in my computer stayed at 120f which is pretty good considering my computer only has one fan on the powersupply and one on my AMD 350 K6-2, which is a total of only 2 fans, and the voodoo 4 4500 AGP, made it 3 fans, and it nicely fit in my agp slot which is 1.0 and 2.0 complaint. I had no problems installing it. I say unless you play games like unreal tournament, and quake 3, u don't need the voodoo 4, the voodoo 3 3000 has plently of power and is alot cheeper too. the voodoo 4 4500 only has one flaw, and that it doesn't come with software to change the refrash rate, and to change anything else, u could only make it up to 85 and on the box it says it could go up to 160mhz, but its not true with out the software. I say unless u can find the software don't go to the voodoo 4 4500 because you can't take full advantage of the card without the software, but it has excelent power and excelent graphic support, it has enough power for almost any game,

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CARD FOR TIGHT BUDGET, November 18, 2000

By 

Alvin Yunanto (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 AGP Card (Personal Computers)

Voodoo 4 contains singel VSA-100 graphic processor. VSA-100 is the graphic processor that used in Voodoo 5 5500. The difference is Voodoo 5 5500 contain 2 VSA-100 graphic processor. Voodoo 4 is the best card for those of you who can't afford high-end graphic card but demands a very good graphic and fast frame rate. And it's cheap, only $130.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voodoo 4 4500 Does the Job, March 12, 2001

This review is from: 3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 AGP Card (Personal Computers)

Though I didn't buy the card from Amazon, I did see reviews while shopping Amazon. They were helpful, but I want to put in a good word to shift things closer to 5 as I think this product deserves it. Perhaps it's because I checked the specs of my Mainboard PA2013 before I got the right board for it, but the AGP version has allowed other PCI slots to be available for things like a future TV /VideoIn/Out board. The board also has solved every problem that I was having with my ATI Rage Pro. Installation was very easy. After installing the proper driver provided in the box, it took off. Games from No One Lives Forever, ea Sport's Triple Play 2000,Homeworld, Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance, etc all run perfectly now, and the color and definition are wonderful and quite satisfactory for the price making this good for most boards especially those a step below the fastest ones out there. It has an on board fan unlike the Voodoo 3 3000 and supports 32bit, 1X, 2X, 4X slots. It does the job!
