Today I've exchanged the Radeon 7000 in my Peg2 against the old PCI-Voodoo3 from my A4000 and did some comparisons that might help you decide what kind'a card to buy:
- the Radeon's picture is much sharper than the Voodoo's. Even on my TFT I can see the difference. The Radeon also has the better contrast, but its signal is a bit weaker. I don't exactly know if the lower sharpness of the Voodoo is due to it's age, but I remember that the Picture always looked a bit dull.
- DVDs look better on the Voodoo. Better anti-aliasing and less artefacts.
- Games are much more fun in 3D. :)
- Quake2 in 640x480 on the Voodoo runs at 60 fps (demomap 1, OpenGL) compared to only 37 fps on the Radeon (Softrenderer) Quake2Max looks even more impressive. :)
Kind regards
