3dfx Voodoo5 5500

UnrealTournament Performance - AMD Athlon 750

While all the cards are perform pretty close to each other, only the Voodoo5 5500 is really able to stand out from the pack. In 32-bit color, it's faster than everything else out there in 16-bit. The results are more or less the same as resolutions below 1024x768, although the older cards do take a larger performance hit due to fillrate limitations.

Once again, the Voodoo5 5500 is out on top, with it's 1280x1024x16 score faster than most cards at 1024x768x16. In 32-bit color, the Voodoo5 is head and shoulders above the rest, over 30% ahead of the nearest competitor, the GeForce 2 GTS.

At 1600x1200 the Voodoo5 5500 takes a sudden dive in performance. It's actually running at the same speed as the Voodoo4, despite having twice the fillrate and twice the memory bandwidth. It's not clear exactly what's going on here, but it could be driver immaturity cropping up again.
