3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 AGP Card

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support you've given 3dfx over the years. Through all our ups and downs, we've always been proud of our extremely loyal customers and fans. That's what makes our recent actions so difficult.

Although we've done our best to avoid taking drastic action, we have finally been forced to admit that there is no possible way we can continue in our current state. As such, we have negotiated an agreement with nVidia that will allow us to provide the best possible result to our creditors, investors, employees and customers.

Under this agreement, nVidia will acquire certain, specific assets from 3dfx including technology, company and product brands and other assets. In addition, the 3dfx board of directors has recommended to our shareholders the dissolution of the company over the next few months. Until that time, however, 3dfx products will remain available at various retail and online locations, and we will continue to support our current and future customers. For additional information, please see the press releases that were issued by 3dfx on December 15, 2000.

While we firmly believe this agreement is in the best interest of all involved, we deeply regret these actions. Again, we want to extend our sincerest thanks to every one of you who helped 3dfx revolutionize 3D graphics and 3D gaming on the PC.

Sincerely, Scott Sellers 3dfx Founder and CTO


Warning: 3dfx is out of business   March 30, 2001
If you care about a warrenty and service when shopping for a new video card, look elsewhere. 3dfz has closed its doors, however they have promised to provide support up until early next year. The last driver release is avalible at their website (try putting an "x" before 3dfx) If this doesnt convince you to buy another brand, I wish you luck.

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Though I didn't buy the card from Amazon, I did see reviews while shopping Amazon. They were helpful, but I want to put in a good word to shift things closer to 5 as I think this product deserves it. Perhaps it's because I checked the specs of my Mainboard PA2013 before I got the right board for it, but the AGP version has allowed other PCI slots to be available for things like a future TV /VideoIn/Out board. The board also has solved every problem that I was having with my ATI Rage Pro. Installation was very easy. After installing the proper driver provided in the box, it took off. Games from No One Lives Forever, ea Sport's Triple Play 2000,Homeworld, Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance, etc all run perfectly now, and the color and definition are wonderful and quite satisfactory for the price making this good for most boards especially those a step below the fastest ones out there. It has an on board fan unlike the Voodoo 3 3000 and supports 32bit, 1X, 2X, 4X slots. It does the job!
