3D Power is a relative newcomer to the graphics scene, though many that comprise 3D Power are ex-3dfx veterans from the ill-fated companys European wing. In partnership with Korean board manufacturing company Absolute Multimedia, comes the genesis of the Morpheus range of graphics cards Made by Gamers, for Gamers, or so the slogan goes.

There are a lot of GeForce3 cards on the market at the moment, with not an incredible amount of difference between them. This is indicative of the somewhat heavy-handed tactics of NVIDIA when setting down reference designs.

In the beginning 3dfx was the king of the 3D accelerator market with its Voodoo and Voodoo2 chipsets...

Even though the Voodoo3 3500 TV is an older card than most on test in this Labs, we have included it since it, along with the ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro,fills a niche in the graphics card market that caters to people looking for a low-cost TV and video capture card alongside reasonable 3D gaming performance.

There will be several iterations of the Voodoo4/5, each with a different number of VSA-100 chips, ranging from one to four running in SLI (Scan Line Interleave). The Voodoo5 5500 features two VSA-100 chips and has a total of 64Mb of 166MHz SDRAM, although both chips require their own texture memory, so some of the RAM is shared.

Blistering speed in 3D and a multitude of multimedia features makes the 3500 an excellent card for video enthusiasts and gamers alike.
