i have a voodoo3 3000 AGP i used to use it in my old server but it doesn't adjust the voltage depending on usage so it just runs full tilt all the loving time so powering a headless freebsd server the heatsink was like 80-90C burned my hand on it once fuk u 3dfx

3dfx had and still has the best video card box art of all time, hands down. I mean just compare that to the tacky junk we get these days.

I've got a 770 still and it kicks rear end, but that was coming from a 460. Normall I just get the x60 version, but I decided to treat myself to an x70 series and I'm really not sure it was necessary. .....so either of those are prob good, but so is a 580, so idk then man.

p sure u can overclock a 970 to be equal to a 980 if u wanna save those extra buxx for buyin games problem is theyre sold out at a lot of places right now

New games early in development right now who are looking to future-proof for the pc market are currently seeing about 50% 1GB vram and 15% of 2GB. Devs aiming for anything over 2GB of video ram for the next 3 to 5 years is statistically a money sink, especially since going any higher than that means you probably won't be able to use that much video data on the new consoles. You could, but you need to share that total ~5GB with system ram too, and dedicating more than 2 for video leaves very little system ram to work with. So anyway, over 2GB is icing for the next couple years. Keep this hot tip in mind.

WORST FORUMS GUY posted:so what card would you recommend to go forward and play these games on max settings gently caress if I know. All I know is that you're probably ok for max settings for texture and mesh quality for several years if your card has 2 GB unless you're looking to futureproof yourself for over 3-5 years with your videocard. This doesn't take performance into account.
