3Dfx Rampage: Does anybody have one?
02.03.10 at 08:59:31

I've been searching around the net for information on the 3Dfx Rampage lately. I've heard of it numerous times, but I just assumed it was another card that wasn't mass produced as much as other Voodoo cards. After reading exactly what it was and what it was intended to do, it made me want to cry a river knowing that we would never get to see it in our PCs. I did end up downloading some Rampage drivers hoping to find out some juicy details about how the hardware worked, and then thought to myself, "How many people actually have a 3Dfx Rampage anyway?" Assuming one of you does, what's it like? Did it actually have a programmable pipeline? Thanks.

You're Right Rampage wasn't mass produced : only 20 were made . Check Gary's page to know more, and yes he got one : http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/rampage.htm I'm still sad when I look at it

I watched a few of the original commercials a few days ago.

I'd like to see em. And I would have loved to see a Rampage that has more then just the Rampage chip on it, too bad they never actually built a prototype with a Sage chip on board.

There is only one pic that I know of thus far on the net that has two Rampage gpus as well one Sage but only low res.

However I think it is a fake.
