3500TV wins best hardware of E3 award... pc.ign.com Best Hardware: 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV We really liked what we saw at the 3dfx booth and, judging from the number of people constantly circling the 3dfx booth, it was pretty apparent that the crowd was impressed as well. The 183MHz Voodoo3 3500 TV is an all-in-one card that combines blazingly fast 2D and 3D performance with a TV tuner and the ability to record MPEG 2 video and audio in real-time. The card will also support DVD playback, either through software or a hardware add-on. And with S-video in/out, composite out and stereo audio in/out, this card can handle nearly any video standard. From what we saw, this is going to be the next generation video card to beat. Did I hear that right? Mpeg2 real time? Holy crud. The all-in-wonder and marvel have nothin' on this baby. My Marvel was great but the required mpeg conversion was a pain in the ass and took hours. I hope they carry this idea forward with their future chipsets. Pat
