voodoo2 for powermac
16.04.09 at 19:30:05  
would anyone have any working card together with the needed apple video cable included? (don't mind if its either pc card with db15-vga passthrough cable or a mac card with db15-db15 passthrough cable you know?)

not wanting to spend too much so think I'll pass up on voodoo3+'s unless any of you are wanting to make a bargin  Smiley

wasn't sure whether to edit or just add a new reply but anyhow the reason I wanted to ask for this for a while now is because I'll like to be able to improve the graphics without (unless I was wrong on how it worked) losing the 7x00's onboard video-in that seem to pass through the onboard gpu for as long as I just can't find an avid pci card but thats a completely different topic Cheesy

as far as I know any voodoo2 will work on MAC as the v2 doesn't have a bios onboard.
I have a few cards, all voodoo2, but will have to test them.
Almost all are 12MB.

If you are interested I can test a few for ya?!

Ohh and adding a voodoo2 will not work the same as SLI/Crossfire as in the more ya add, the more powerfull it becomes.
Voodoo2's are old cards, if you have a rig that has a videocard that is Geforce2 or higher, Voodoo2, even in SLI will set your FPS back.
