Conclusion

We all expected a winner when 3Dfx announced the Voodoo2. The Diamond Monster 3D II shows that we weren't disappointed. I have hardly ever tested any computer hardware product that impressed me as much as this 3D graphics board. I can even go as far as saying that everyone who wants to play 3D games and doesn't get a Voodoo2 board has to be considered as seriously mislead. The Monster 3D II shows that

it's sets a new standard in 3D performance as well as quality it can be used with weak as well as powerful CPUs, it will always offer the best 3D performance it gives you mind blowing high 3D performance in systems with at least a K6 233 it will currently be hard to find any 3D game that will use the vast performance offered by Voodoo2 for the time being two boards running SLI will mainly be interesting for a resolution of 1024x768, which is only possible via SLI. The performance that SLI offers for lower resolutions is currently way over what 3D games require. boards with less than 4 MB frame buffer memory are obsolete in my eyes, because the performance at 800x600 is so high, that is would be a waste if you couldn't use it If I ever felt well recommending a product that is just about to be released, then it is now with Diamond's Monster 3D II. I wonder which reason could be serious enough for not getting this card, but getting a second rate 3D board instead. Who was able to pay 200 bucks for a Voodoo board shouldn't have problems to pay 250 or a few more bucks for this one. I'd rather buy a 2D card that offers me a first class 2D acceleration and a crisp and sharp picture, get a Voodoo2 board as well and feel happy for the next 12 months than buying a 2D/3D solution with questionable 2D abilities and only average 3D performance, that I want to get rid off within the next few months because I start crying looking at other people's Voodoo2 performance.

I guess you get the picture.
