Well let's start.
Bouth cards where tested on this System:
Mainboard: Abit NF7 (nforce2)
Cpu: AMD AthlonXP 2700 Mhz
Ram: DDRAM 2x256 at 333mhz fsb

Tested with: 3DMark03

About:
ATI Radeon 9200 (128mb): doesnt have dx9 and pixel shader 2.0 support
Geforce Fx 5200 (64mb): it seems to have all of that

TEST:

1st test was made with Ati card.
from 4 games just 3 worked
RESULT: 1020pts

2nd test made with the GeForce card.
Al 4 games worked, pixel shader 2.0 test worked... what can i tell .. everything from the test worked not as good as with the ati card but worked
RESULT: 860pts

So ... to buy a Ati Radeon 9200 that will run some games very good and other games will aint run ? or to buy a GeForceFX 5200 ... all games will work ... not very good but will work somehow?
This is a realy hard question dont you think?
Any questions?
         P.S. hmm to bad i couldnt take bouth cards with 128mb ... you think that if the GeForce had 128mb it could do much better ?


*************Im back.****************

The test was finaly made with fx5200 128ddr 8x

Asus V9520 FX 5200 128MB DDR TV 8x AGP

Test made on the same computer.
This card get 960pts ... all games worked and still radeon 9200 has an bigger "score" well maibe is 9200 good but for games i think NVidia rocks what about the last 6800 card of them ... what can u say that is not enough ... it isnt making cake ?)

well 10x for tip Knuckles ... but sli cable cant be inverted .. its just like the floppy cable ...
stephenmpeterson: With the 1.03 3dfx reference drivers in win2000 hey show up and work fine. << where can i get this driver from ? my sli isnt detected ... i got a new pc .. i instaled 4.0 drivers for a single voodoo ... it worked, i put the second card in and instaled it ... it seems to work .. because i have a game configurator and it tels me 110fps but i see no image .. i tryed diffrent games and the game seems like working but i am not able to see what is happening smt realy bugghy with this driver for SLI mode

well noone nothing ... why the **** isnt my sli detected?

well i`m back ... i have instaled FastVoodoo2 4.0 Gold Edition ... SLI still not detected ... i had read https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/voodoo2/releasenotes/fv2_4.0_ge.htm ( i use win98 ) i had problem with the V-Sync display being choppy but i made it work fine now .. but still SLI isnt detected ... any ideea ?

Ok 10x for help ...
Sorry for my poor english (i am romanian)
i have read that help page ... it wasnt the first time but now i have 2 voodoo and i readed more about SLI .. it seems i connect it ok. I took the cards out from computer and compared them ... it looks the same .. i was unable to find any diferences between them .. i think are from same manufacturer .
I just instaled win98se, dx90b the default video card and ill install "FastVoodoo2 4.0 Gold Edition " and see if the SLI works now because i couldnt make it work last time ... but i saw maibe ... i am not realy shure better performance with games like Counter Strike ... it could the SLI work and not shown in the "detection tab"? wird .. but i couldnt play any game in 1024/768 res.
w8 your reply's maibe`ll post another one after installing the drivers
bye bye

well i am prety new @ this site ... and i`m looking for best 3dfx drivers and configurations ... my pc doesnt have agp ... and voodoo i think is the best choice .
I had one voodoo for some mounths and now i purchased a new one ... i tryed the SLI mode ... i instaled the gold 4.0 driver from site works fine ... but it doesnt detect the SLI ... same problem like the guys before ... what should i do .. it's fresh instaled Win98se ... 1st time i see the System info pannel ok not scrambled and i see

There is something to do about it ...?
The SLI mode it is brought just by the SLI cable ... i dont need a video cable from voodoo2 (1) to voodoo2 (2) and then to Default on board i810 video card ? suppose i need just a video cable from voodoo2 (1) to i810 and the SLI connector between the voodoo's.
To bad d3d doesnt work in XP because i downgraded from xp to 98 because of that issue and a dx8.1 voodoo driver would be ok to
W8ing to be helped
