eightbit Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I recently received an old Alienware tower (Pre-Dell!) circa 2000 with an AGP slot that is not being used. I really would love to stick some form of 3dfx AGP card in this thing, but I really don't feel like ordering from the Russian Federation Does anyone possibly have one (any one, model or ram size I could care less) that they would be willing to part with? Either for money or for trade? PM me! Edited February 11, 2020 by eightbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I don't know about the newer 3DFX cards, but I've read that the older cards (or at least the Voodoo 3), the AGP version was no better than PCI. I don't know if this helps at all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to fill the unused AGP slot and free up the PCI slot (that currently has a Radeon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to fill the unused AGP slot and free up the PCI slot (that currently has a Radeon) I'm the other way around :) I have a Voodoo 3 in the PCI, and an nVidia in the AGP (GeForce 2 Ultra I think??)

eightbit Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 The GF2 Ultra is a very nice card. I had one of these in a PIII 850 build some time ago (well, it was the Quadro equivalent version) and it was very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 My Win98 setup is an Athlon 64. I prefer the Voodoo 3 for the games that will use it (plus, the Glide games, obviously), but I swap to the GF2 for things like Quake 3 engine. I've got a pile of old video cards, the the GF2 is the most powerful AGP card in it...though I have a GF7 somewhere around here that I seem to recall being AGP...
