3dfx Voodoo5 5500

Quake 3 Arena Performance - Intel Pentium III 550

The results with the Pentium III 550E are similar to those of the Athlon 750. The biggest change is actually the fall of the TNT2 Ultra, although its not exactly clear why.

Once again, similar results to the Athlon 750 test bed - the Voodoo5 overtakes the low end GeForce models in 32-bit color as memory bandwidth begins to become a significant factor.

At 1024x768, the Voodoo5 5500 finally steps ahead of the two low end GeForce models in 16 and 32-bit color, while getting dangerously close to the performance of a GeForce DDR. Thanks raw fillrate for the lead in 16-bit color and memory bandwidth for the lead in 32-bit.
