3dfx Voodoo3

2D Performance

Apparently the world can't live without 2D performance numbers, so here they are ;) Since the performance of all of the cards was virtually identical to one another at the lower resolutions, the basis for comparison was 1600 x 1200 x 32-bit color. The performance leader here is 3Dfx's Voodoo3, however most users won't notice any difference in the speed at which your windows pop up.

In terms of 2D quality, the leaders in this comparison would be the Voodoo3 and the Matrox G200, followed by the Banshee, then the Rage 128, and finally the TNT. Ever since the release of the Banshee, it seems as if 3dfx has concentrated quite a large portion of their effort towards producing a well made 2D/3D solution, without skimping on the 2D.
