3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, June 2000. #computers #computing

this was my first card, games were amazing after those 16mb

A whopping 64Mb of VRAM. Damn, how things have changed. Better? Arguable, but certainly have changed. I've got at RTX 5090 but did I enjoy computer games more back then. Let's not answer that.

AGP 8x Radeon All-in-Wonder with NTSC tuner was the bomb diggity 25 years ago.

Nice video! I still have a working one in my Pentium3 450Mhz.

Keep one of those critters in the GPU junk drawer on the off chance I have to tango with an AGP system.

dawss look at that adorable baby fans lol

I did love playing need for speed hot pursuit

The GameChanger 👍

3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI is a legendary retro upgrade for classic Amiga systems. With compatible PCI bus cards (such as the Mediator series) and special drivers, it improves the Amiga's performance.

I miss when GPUs used 1 slot...

I used to have a work collaboration with 3Dfx. They sent me a prototype board, can't remember exactly which VooDoo it was, but you plugged it into the wall! I had to send it back though. Usually they let me keep stuff for reviews.

Ah, simpler & better times!

I'm sold!

im so happy that i bought one for like 100€ years ago 😂

the graphics card i burned out a few times by overclocking is 3dfx Voodoo Rush :)

Those where the times… Voodoo for the win…

I put money aside for ages to buy one of these as a young man. Enoyed it for a few years then traded it in along with the rest of my system to help pay for upgrades. Man I miss that system.

I actually had that one. Stupidly powerful considering it was the age of constant obsolescence and worked for a long time until the lack of drivers for newer games caught up to it.

Had everyone of these cards 💸😭

Voodoo GPU FTW

it was a glorious time

But, at the end of the day, it is ended with NVidia instead of being all of its own.

Where to find more videos like this?

Remember when TV didn't have diversity all over it

This is where it all started going wrong, next thing we knew we were up to our eyeballs in cryptocurrency and AI slop.
