I've noticed alot of talk about the image quality, or lack of image quality with the voodoo3. I've seen alot of screenshots posted comparing it with other cards that support 32bit color depths. I'm not sure what they're doing when they take those shots, but my image quality is nowhere near as bad as the shots. In fact, my image quality is far better than the shots they show for 32bit rendering. I realize that these are JPG files, and they lose some clearity when compared to the real deal, but I took my own screen shot, converted it to JPG and it looked far better. One thing I've noticed, running your desktop at 24bit instead of 32 will make games run in 24bit. If you use 32, games run in 16. It does make a difference in quality. Try it in Quake 2. My advice is, if you have a voodoo3, run your desktop at 24bit, not 32.

But V3 cards dont support 24bit or 32 bit rendering in 3D modes. The only thing is 22bit (but its 16bit dithering). Thats what V3's FAQ says. The fact described above is very interesting.
