So, I have 2 cards and was thinking which one would be better for FS2Open..

First...  Voodoo 3000 32mb

Second... Radeon 7500 64mb

So, what do any of the SCP people think?

Although neither would be too good, I'd say the 7500 would be better.

It has more memory and supports at least a little HT&L while the V3 doesn't at all.

Also, I've heard the voodoo support is broken right now (although if you use an unofficial D3D driver it could work)

voodoos dont like SCP. They never did. On Voodoo 3 3000's you could not get SCP working properly even before support for them was dropped.

so.. :p

Take your Voodoo and burn it.  It's not the standard anymore, and only works right with Glide.  In my experience, anyways.

Voodoo is probably the best card for its time, performance wise.

But when it comes to modern applications, nothing is less flexible and more likely not to work than a voodoo card. :)
