Certainly the biggest card in this round up, the Voodoo is much longer than the standard AGP graphics card. It also looks rather imposing, featuring two graphics processing units, with a fan resting on top of each. It certainly looks like a monster power-house of a card... but is it?

It has an undeniably impressive specification with the two graphics processors and 64MB of SDR RAM, plus it has very impressive support for Full Screen Anti-Aliasing.

A big bone of contention in the graphics card world has been whether the FSAA that the Voodoo cards offer is better than that of the GeForce 2. And to be honest, it is. Particularly at the higher resolutions, the Voodoo 5 is less prone to slowdown and produces a slightly smoother image (which, after all, is what this FSAA game is all about).

The Voodoo 5 5500 also offers a further feature that the Geforce 2 doesn't; the T-buffer. This allows for all sorts of graphical trickery like realistic motion blur, focusing on foreground or background objects, along with more realistic shadows and reflections.

However, having sung its praises, the benchmarks for normal, non-FSAA operation tell another story. The Creative card clearly out-benches the Voodoo here. In fact the Radeon sneaked past the Voodoo on some of the Quake 3 benchmarks too, showing its power.

In terms of bundle, the card doesn't come with much; just a few games demos. It seems like decent software/game bundles are very much a thing of the past!

It can't be denied that the Voodoo 5 5500 produces a fantastic image quality with its FSAA rendering, and when games support the T-buffer technology it will look even better. With a commendable price tag as well, it would be a clear winner if only its 'normal' benchmark scores had come in a bit higher.
