It's kinda stupid. 3dfx Voodoo is not a graphic card, just 3d accellerator, which is not used anyway whatsoever running Doom, which is not a 3D game in the first place....

[@themax4677]

In the case of a Voodoo 1or 2 yes, however, it is running a Voodoo3 which has its own onboard 2D accelerator so it is doing the 2D drawing. That said, I'm pretty sure Doom is much more dependent on the CPU than graphics card.

[@PCUSER486]

Yes, BTW, Quake was one of a first 3d game to use a special map design system that preprocessed and pre-rendered some elements of the 3D environment! Thanks for watching!

[@PCUSER486]

​@@themax4677Yes & Doom isn't even 3d as we know, but uses rather impressive fakery indeed, just to simulate a 3D environment. However, everything functions on a two-dimensional plane 😊😊

[@deusprogrammer_thekingofspace]

Originally I was thinking the same thing, so I did a bit of research before putting my foot in my mouth. Voodoo 3 cards did provide a 2D accelerator, which mainly provided an additional frame buffer to blit pixels to before it gets flipped to the memory referenced by the monitor. Also, the frame buffer being on PCI meant that this frame buffer could be written to quickly providing additional speed improvements. Btw, that computer is an absolute beaut. They just don't make them like that anymore.

[@timothyverbist5795]

It's 1999 and you decided to play DOOM.

[@Gebora]

did that quite often in 99. still on my frequently played list after all these years

[@asrninja]

Wenn man bedenkt dass dieses Spiel von 1993 ist... Ein echtes Phänomen und ein absolut Zeitloser Klassiker, den ich auch heute noch sehr oft, sehr gerne und viel spiele. Kaum ein Spiel schafft das.

[@topperharley3618]

Back then played Final Fantasy 8. 😊

[@Brian-ti7xm]

1993 doom was released. 1998 half life released. 1999 everyone was playing unreal tournament. Uncultured.

[@Brian-ti7xm]

​@@Geboramodded Doom is a aesthic, especially when you remove the speed running and swap it for a dodge. Brutal doom is also a great addition. If you can code you can put in decent car physics taken straight from the snes game DriftKing.

Unreal tournament was an absolute masterpiece 💪

[@AggressiveMenace]

These CRTs from the 90s Dell-Sony alliance are a superb. I have in mind building a similar retro rig, with a K6-II CPU, 128/256 MB SDRAM, and maybe a video card combo of Voodoo 2 as well as GeForce 2. Today kids can't see the beauty of ancient computers with floppy disks and heavy screens... :P

Darn this brings memories, last time i played Doom was in 2000, 24 years ago darnit how time fly.

[@robertgodlewski8553]

Had the same card and was playing Half - life, age of empires and starcraft. I believe i kept it long enough to play Empire Earth.

[@nifftbatuff676]

The original Doom didn't use any 3D graphics card. All 3D was calculated on the CPU.

[@woodsie315]

Doom was such a quantum leap. There was nothing like it when it came out. We just dont get those kinds of big revolutions in gaming anymore.

[@AB-ef5wn]

Mario 64 was really the last true quantum leap in gaming. PS1 - PS5 have been iterative. PC gaming has been pretty stagnant since HL1/HL2.

[@Xorthis]

Ahh this brings back memories. I was also using a Voodoo 3 3000 back in those times, though I was using it for games like Wing Commander 3, which actually did use the Voodoo. Doom isn't really getting any boost from that card as it runs 100% 2D. Also, totally unrealistic with that hard drive. My 386 had a 42MB drive. Yeah, that's not a typo... :D

[@clebergarcia7352]

Awsome see and hear Win 98 ❤

[@adibemaxwell6111]

The fact this person has CRT monitors makes me jealous. ALL of these old games were meant to be played on CRT. They were developed on CRT. None of them look quite right on modern monitors or screens. This was proved by Linus Tech Tips that CRT is superior in many ways to modern screens.

3Dfx VooDoo card was overkill for Doom.

My first three games for 3dfx voodoo1 were Cyber Gladiators, Shadows of the Empire and Turok.😊😊😊

[@Life_Is_A...]

I love the classic theme so much, my windows 10 PC has it. People exclaim about it all the time "What windows are you running?!" It's hilarious.

[@Wobbothe3rd]

Doom OG doesn't use any 3D acceleration. However, by 1999, there were plenty of source ports that did. It would be interesting to try downloading those (they're still archived!) And running them. I know for a fact there were many that worked well because I played them all in 99 on my Voodoo 2 back in the day. Good times 👍

[@Zarniwooper]

I had a Voodoo Rush card, they were kinda rare to have because they were a bit slower but eliminated a need for a separate VGA card.

[@ReallyBadJuJu]

My first "gaming pc" was an Amd K6-2 450 w/ 128mb ram and a voodoo 3. I still remember losing my mind when playing Unreal deathmatch and I see an explosion in the next room, and someones head came rolling past the door...
