Voodoo 2 with new 3dfx logos
01.04.06 at 19:59:33
 
Hi all!

I am a 3dfx collector from Hungary. Here is very hard to find the rare cards, but I have this interesting V2 in my collection. It is a card named PowerColor G3DFX2 and it has new 3dfx logos on all three chips. The other curiosity is, that it has RAM modules only on the front side of the card, the back side is empty  Smiley

...

...

More photos in higher resolution are avilable in my home page (check the link in my signature).

That is a late Voodoo II. The chips have a higher density than the RAM chips on a regular Voodoo II.

Several people on this board have such a card.

And if ATI purchased 3dfx assets would they be evil too?

I wouldn't feel bad towards them if they just continued driver support on the 3dfx products. I was just a bit P.O. that I couldn't get updated drivers after the acquisition.

I respect 3dfx maximally for revolutionizing the 3D acceleration in the PCs. But today, nVidia is my favourite Smiley
