  A bit.  I find a bit of degradation above 800x600 (I run 75Hz at all
resolutions -- higher refresh may make the symptoms worse).
  It's not the stub cable -- I've plugged through it alone (it's
basically a 6" extension) and tried all sorts of "visual benchmarks"
(unscientific, subjective, but hey).  So it appears to be the card. 
I'll have to try moving it around in the system to see if it's position
dependent.
  People's experience varies -- all over the scale.  The thing to do is
get a look at a config similar to your own.  I also have a Matrox m3D,
which of course has no problem with 2D image degradation.  It does
render differently than the Voodoo and has different speed
characteristics (no, it's not always slower).  I'm not sure if I like it
-- I like its display quality and it benchmarks well, but it has some
gameplay quirks that I intend to examine more closely (alongside my
Voodoo).  Might not be the card; could just be me.  (To be specific: 
I've been getting creamed at Quake (GLQuake I) -- could be me, could be
my ISP, could be the people I'm playing against, could be the m3D.)

  Can't say -- I've only tried my R3D with my Millenium I and Optiquest
V775.
