Toms Voodoo 3 Update

Here's some highlights from this update from Tom's Hardware.

"

• RAMDAC 350 MHz(Voodoo3 3000), 300 MHz RAMDAC (Voodoo3 2000), allowing resolutions of up to 2048x1536 at 75 Hz refresh this feature really rocks the boat. There is no chip announced that would have such a fast RAMDAC.
  
• Core Graphics Clock 183 MHz (Voodoo3 3000), 125 MHz (Voodoo3 2000) using .25 micron technology
  
• 32 MB onboard memory support (was only 16 MB at first) ATI will make 32 MB local memory a common thing with Rage 128 soon, thus 3Dfx changed the specs and will support 32 MB also.
  

My personal view of Voodoo3 is that it's certainly the most promising 2D/3D chip that's announced for Q2 next year, but 3Dfx will have to come up with something faster pretty soon. NVIDIA's NV10 is due for next summer and it sounds as if it will be way ahead of Voodoo3. The other chip makers are also working on chips with 4 texture pipelines and highest fill rates, but those guys won't dare to release their chips without 32 bit rendering abilities and 32 bit Z-buffers."
