diamond viper v770 vs voodoo3

[wyckedcool]

I am building my own computer and would like to know which one of these card's are the best between the 2. I'm going to have probably a duron 700 that I plan on overclocking, on either a asus or abit k7v board. I'm personaly leaning toward's the diamond viper v770. Can anyone out there make a suggestion? Thank you........

Yeah, the v770Ultra is a great card. 32-Bit if that makes a difference

Thank's for your thought and opinion. I was leaning towards the viper but just wanted an opinion from someone. First time on building my own so I can't wait to get everything together.

Anyway thank's............................

depend on what game u are playing, if u like to play ut, go with voodoo card

they offer about the same level of speed... give or take, in q3 the tnt2 is much better but then again q3a on tnt2 is decent at best. on the other hand, v3 will run UT VERY well and if you get the pci version you could run it in tandem with a newer generation card for your deux ES fun also keep in mind tnt2s used to have compatibilty issues with super7 mobos.

I'd take the TNT2 anyday.
Super7 issues wont matter since he's headed for a Duron 700.

The TNT2-Ultra I had could run Q3 with no problems, of course not at super high res, but 800x600x32 was more than playable on a Celery450.

Well thank's everyone for your suggestion's. I decided on the Diamond Viper V770 32MB. I believe it's comparable with the voodoo3 3000, and for $59.00, I thought it was a good deal. I know it's not the best but I can up-grade later If I want.

If anyone has any experience with a viper v770 I'd like to hear your comment's about it.

Thank's again to everyone who took the time to try and be helpful. It's greatly appreciated.
