Let the Pictures Speak for Themselves

---

Here we are, to the meat. I have not documented framerates and the like, but each of the comparison shots have the same resolution. To take full advantage of the extra horsepower, the graphics option sliders have all been maxxed out for the Hercules card. In all cases, the GeForce2 was always still smoother than the Voodoo. Also, keep in mind that JPEG compression produces some image loss, so deal with it.

Fig. 3. Voodoo3 Image with Jane's FA-18

Here's a shot of a Jane's FA-18 Super Hornet engaging in overkill viewed through a Voodoo3 3000 card. This is one of the big things that bothered me about JFA under Voodoo- those "jaggies".

Fig. 4. JFA shot with 3D Prophet II

A similar JFA shot under the 3D Prophet II. Much cleaner. Less "jaggies", better FR.

Fig. 5. Flanker 2.0 with Voodoo3

Flanker 2.0 is a beautiful-looking simulation, even under the less than optimal 16 bit Voodoo card. Hard to even tell what's missing.

Until you see it under 32 bit. Once again- all this detail, and a better frame rate.
