Can anyone identify this board??
20.11.12 at 19:47:13

hey guys,

a friend of mine gave me a voodoo rush the other day and I am having a hard time id'ing it.

I looked at Gary's site and the only thing that comes close is the; and I quote:

Hard to find Macronix MX86251 6 MB- This card seems to have made the rounds under a number of different names including Magic Rush3D and Pro Comp G-105.

Tho instead of the green pcb of the card on Gary's site, mine has a brownish/golden pcb

It has the MX86251 instead of the Alliance-25 chip, so.....

thanks for any info, and if anyone is interested, ya know where to find me

seeing that site that is a Skywell Magic 3D Rush and Gary only mentions 1 other. a ProComp Voodoo Rush, but I don't see Procomp anywhere on the card.

It does have a small sticker saying made in china, but that's it, apart from a serial number

looking at TDFX.de, it isn't the Procomp either:

I will have a closer look tonight, see if I can find anything

It does seem look the most like the Eagles Rush:

Except from the sticker, it does have some similiarities on the card, like bank 1 and bank 2 notes for ram and stuff

Reply #3 - 21.11.12 at 21:48:12 Don't get fooled by the layout, these were all standard designs. I think the font used on the card might be the best clue here, I'll have a look through all the images I have to see if I can find a card with a similar font on it. Does seem familiar to me for some reason.

Reply #4 - 22.11.12 at 15:10:19 I knew it seemed familiar; (thumbnails) Though, this particular company was a reseller, so unfortunately I can't help you any further on the actual manufacturer of this card.

Hey Nitrox,

thanks a million man, I think I did see that picture, but probably overlooked it due to the sticker and mine not having it.

And the bios chip seems to be from another manufacturer, or just another print on it

I'll post it in marketplace to see if anyone is interested.

Is this a rare card by the way?? Or hard to find so to speak?!
