Voodoo 6000

I was just reading up on old tech , i used to own a voodoo1 + 3 cards, then i noticed this bit of text on a "fastest cpu a voodoo 6 will work with" test,

"In timedemo one the card scores 20 FPS, the funny thing is the limiting factor isn't the V6K but the Barton 3000+ CPU! There is no change in FPS score when shifting from 640 x 480, 800 x 600 & 1024 x 768. The 2.2 ghz CPU just can't feed the video card fast enough while running this complex game at those resolutions."

hmm im not sure this is true? isnt the fact that the V6 cant render more then 20fps fullstop in doom 3 lol?

What do people think ?

voodoo 6's wernt even top of the range in there day (alltho they had 4 gpu's in the analog SLi (on one board))

not sure if i can post the website if i mod could advise,

i never said retail, there are quite a lot of V6 boards floating about, with many benchmarks showing them beating GF2's and 10-20% slower then a GF3, can a GF3 even render doom3 @ 20fps?? and the question wasnt if they were retail, the closest they got to retail was a few hundred being sold to Quantum3D to be in there TOTR pc's for the day......
