It's a Voodoo 3 2000. Whether it is an AGP- or PCI-card or a card from a different manufacturer is secondary. All Voodoo 3-drivers work.

If your intending running it in a modern system you might want to make sure it doesn't get to hot as its only passivly cooled.

Hi there!
I need your help in recognising the card... It is Voodoo1 marked as Obsidian Pro, but i haven't seen such card on Donovan's site, on tdfx.de... So, anybody knows what it is?
Here is the photo:

That's an odd card...

The Quantum3D Obsidian SB50-2200 (which the layout is based on and the sticker on the card says 2200, too) is usually black (early prototypes were green, but production cards were black up until the Q3D Obsidian2) and the layout of the small resistors is the same as Gary's Obsidian Pro 100DB-4440 Prototype-set (notice the layout of the resistors on the backside in the upper middle section, it's identical to the 100DB-4440-card but different to exxe's 2200).
In addition to that, the PCB has a date code of 9917 (backside lower left corner) which is the time the Voodoo 3 came out so a Voodoo Graphics was outdated at that time.

The Skywell Magic3D Plus had the same layout (with the soldering points but without the connectors) but was clearly marked "Magic 3D Plus" and had 8 MB RAM instead of this card's 4 MB.

Seems like it was made by noname company and marked ObsidianPro just for fun, to use the wellknown brand I'm not sure but Quantum3D cards were made in USA, weren't they? And my card was made in Taiwan. But maybe someone have any other ideas, or had seen such card before?

Teddy YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 15 Russia Gender:	Re: 3DFX Card identification Reply #12 - 30.03.10 at 18:21:35 Maybe... But there is no Quantum3D logo on it, and the PCB differs from other Obsidians. And all other Quantum3D cards were assebled in USA... I'd found one strange Obsidian in Gary Donovan collection: choose Voodoo Graphics and then go to the bottom - the lowest card. It's another card but it is also named Obsidian.

Layout=PCB? Huh

If yes, then my card differs from Q3D:

Eye-Q had marked the differences.
My card is the same as Skywell:

PS: I'm not arguing, I'm just asking
