VSA-100 can only access 64MB per chip.

Now, VSA-101 is a different story; that baby can access 256MB per chip Shocked Grin

Just think, how cool would a VSA-101 version of the Voodoo5 6000 have been?

4x VSA-101 Chips? LOVELY JUBBELY!  Cheesy

1024MB videocard.

Would be a wet dream for professional OpenGL users Grin
Not to mention the fact that it would run Doom 3 probably better than a crappy GeForce Tongue

Sorry but i rather get all the bells and whistles of doom3 at 20fps, than have it look like doom1 and run at 60fps.

... and i'm sure alot of people feel the same Wink

I Totally Agree, 3dfx would of killed the GeForce6 series if they were still alive!, now 3dfx is only alive in our minds. Undecided

What are you talking about  ???, qlquake was a quantum leap in visual quality versus the original doom engine games.

Why would you possibly think it would look like anything like doom1 regardless of the frame rate  Shocked

I just replied to what nitrox said;
"Not to mention the fact that it would run Doom 3 probably better than a crappy GeForce "

It doesn't matter how much ram a vsa100/101 card has, it will still look like shit compared to any geforce.

Totally agree here and a valid point here DenisF.  As much as I love 3dfx and everything about them, I would rather have the full quality (using appropriate hardware) to enjoy the full experience of Doom 3 in the best possible way, rather than play it in dire settings and lose all the technology and features id strived to put into the game (after all, they would have been wasting their time if it was to be played on dated hardware) because that is what makes the game it is.  I saw the pictures of Doom 3 running on a V5 5500/6000 (I can't remember) and it looked pretty awful. All credit to the people who made this happen, it is truly a great feat to see what the cards can still do, but sadly and unfortunately, it is not enough, and it spoils the experience of playing games like these in this modern era.

Not disagreeing that Doom3 or any semi-recent pc game will/does look/play much better on more modern video cards that have much higher fillrates and more advanced modern features than any VSA based card, but  DenisF seemed to be stating that a voodoo 6000 could only produce a graphical experience similiar to Doom1 which would be completly and utterly incorrect.

Play an original doom engined game on a time appropriate system versus lets say serious sam 1 or 2 on a time appropriate voodoo 5500 system and it would be a night and day difference in terms of graphics.

If DenisF had of used maybe Quake3 or something similar as an example, no argument from me, but not the original Doom, thats ridiculous  Wink
