Well don't get too excited- Hank tells me the applications that will run on 8164 are somewhat limted (I have some mil-sim demos in OpenGVS format that should do just fine)

Hmmm. I wonder if I can get someone to write a wrapper to get Quake 3 running... =)

Actually I have had very little spare time to play anything, need to take some time off and get outside. All work and no play makes one a dull boy.

ahh those words fullfill me

nice go'n Gary, the Power of an 8 chiped VSA-100 based Graphics card, man that must be awesome! 8 x VSA-100 @ 166Mhz & with 8x 64MB SDRAM @ 166Mhz, FSAA x8 the same speed as FSAA x2 on a V5 5000.5500 or FSAA x4 on a V5 6000 :| man amazing!

I wonder what the max FSAA factor is of the AALchemy 8164, wasn't that FSAA x16?

hmm this is very interesting, then 183 for cores & mem would of been more approciate

I am really curiously aroused, this experiment will be another great 3dfx adventure like all others have been, I must say that Year 2005 has been a BIG BANG for all of us 3dfx people, we have really scored our milestones this year with 3dfx cards and info, really incredible.

We are talking about things we always have dreamed of about 3 or even 4 years ago, yeah it feels good over here.

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: AAlchemy GX Reply #43 - 08.09.05 at 20:11:48 hmm so maybe 183Mhz cores/mem is verywell possible, like The 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Rev.A3 3400 that cards also has 5.4ns SDRAM from Toshiba and the Rev.A3 3400 runs a default speed of cores/mem 183Mhz Anyways, I am very interested in the real specs of the AALchemy 8164 cards and what they are really capable of
