: Excuse my ignorance, but aren't there games that REQUIRE 3dfx (I think Driver requires it)? Will this card still work?

There are games out there that only use 'Glide' for hardware rendering. The are also Glide wrappers now to allow those games to work on other video boards.
: Thanks for the info. I checked out the specs on this card and it is very impressive. Depending on the answer to the top will determine if I go with it. I would have to imagine this would work with all games but I thought there may be a few that require 3dfx.

: : : I heard that this card rocks and that the TNT 2 ULTRA chipset is better than the voodoo. Stats don't lie and I've read the framerates that this baby pushes out and its unbelievable. This is the card I'd go with.

: : For the money this card is the best. The Geforce also from nvidia is better but it's retail price is ridiculous. The TNT2 ultra will play any game currently on the market with excellent quality. The tnt2 also does 32bit color which the 3dfx doesn't and it has more video memory. Also, in retail land (does anyone online shop in computer stores anymore? www.pricewatch.com rules) the tnt2 can be found cheaper.
: : Forget 3dfx. TNT2 Ultra is the best performance for the money.
