Image Quality (How good is good?)

3dfx claims that purchasing this card will "instantly upgrade your entire software library." Now that's a tough bit of propaganda to believe but I was truly shocked at the difference that this card makes.

To put it simply, the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 with full 4xFSAA enabled is the best visual quality available, period. Other video cards claim some anti-aliasing support but nobody else does it as well or supports as many games as this card. The quality is truly incredible.

You've got to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it, static screen shots just do not do this card justice.

Overall

This card is smoking fast when you want raw framerate and with Full Screen Anti-Aliasing enabled it produces the best on screen images available anywhere. This combination of pure performance and eye-popping image quality means that there is something here for every gamer.

It's rare that a video card manufacturer (or anybody else for that matter) actually produces a product that lives up to it's marketing hype but the Voodoo5 5500 AGP is honestly everything that it claims to be.
