I'll test it with a SLI setup, V3, V5 and perhaps the V6K.

commander keen. Nice one matey! Grin

I was thinking more along the lines of space invaders! Hehe.

'Tis a great feat to have the SLI running the DOOM games, just to see what it can do, but would definitely not consider playing it through. A real experience spoiler!

If I remember correctly, Quake 2 actually looked better than that! Roll Eyes

Doom 3 may look much better than Quake 3 on a 5500 system. This is an SLI setup we're talking about. Different kettle of fish.

If it was a joke then I apoligize for not getting it, if you were serious then your just wrong

I find the fact that someone got Doom3 to run at all on a Voodoo 2 setup amazing and a credit to our community.

I'm assuming Blackbird thought it was interesting that someone got such a modern game to run on a voodoo 2, who cares if you would'nt want to play it because "it's just wrong", maybe someone else would

Yes. I give them all credit to making this happen. It is truly great, and interesting to see that they got even the latest graphical software technology to work on obsolete hardware. It prides us on the Voodoo series to still see what it can actually do, and how good the cards still are.

BUT in my own personal opinion, I would not like to play Doom 3 using 3dfx cards myself. I prefer having the full experience of the game by playing it on hardware it was intended for.
