3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV
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.

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP
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.

3Dlabs Oxygen GVX1
3Dlabs has a strong reputation amongst the professional graphics community for producing high performance and high quality chipsets and graphics cards. The Oxygen range spans the low to high-end of the professional OpenGL market, with the GVX1 falling in the middle of this range.

3Dlabs Oxygen GVX210
The 3Dlabs Oxygen GVX210 occupies the high-end of the 3Dlabs professional OpenGL graphics card range, and as such sports a very impressive specification. Not only does it feature two of the GLINT R3 rasterisers that are found on the GVX1, effectively doubling the fill rate of the card, but it also features an improved geometry engine, the GLINT Gamma R2.
