Q: My friend gets a second TNT2 Ultra from someone he knows and is currently using a Voodoo 3 1000 (Compaq OEM card . basically a castrated V3). He mainly plays Quake III and Unreal Tournament a number. I can imagine would prefer to UT 1000 V3 as it supports glide. But would the TNT2 Ultra better for Q3A? Im not sure because Im not familiar with nVidia products. I borrowed my girlfriend a V5 5500 for about three months ago that I felt sorry for him. He is a real gamer, but has crappy hardware. (He should get a job) Thanks!
Best Answer: add more ram and reload it

Re:Don't forget the Ultra is a 32bit card, while the V3 is only 16bit, which means that the Ultra will actually run more modern games than the V3. Try playing Myst III or Links 2001 on a V3. You can't, and more will be following this "32bit only" trend.
Those V3 1000's could be had for around $50 a year ago, and even today as used, they can bring close to that, (for someone that needs a good card in an old system).

Re:I'd say the TNT2U and V3 3500 are about the same in terms of performance though I prefer the V3 because of much better 2D and more solid drivers. Also the V3's seem to run modern games better then do the TNT2 series generally.
Having said that the V3 1000 is a bit of a castrated V3, and the TNT2U is the fastest of the TNT2 lineup, he will definitely get better performance overall out of the TNT2U.
