The
performance of most of 3dfx's cards have been far from mediocre.
Despite the recent controversy over visual quality vs. speed,
3dfx choose speed over visual quality, although the V3's 3D
16-bit visual quality is far.....very far away from poor. I
am not even going to get into the 16-bit vs. 32-bit debate.
Anyway, the performance of the V3 3500 TV is spectacular. I
decided to do a number of benchmarks, including some of newer
games such as Unreal Tournament, and Drakan. I also did some
benchmarks on some older classics such as Quake 2, and Unreal.
FPS stands for Frames Per Second.
