Title: [W]Canopus Pure 3D II Board(s)
Post by OutOfRange on 13.09.07 at 23:14:28

Hello everybody

cause I found a Canopus 2500 Card here in Switzerland, I really would like to build up a system using this unqiue internal connector "Whichdoctor". But this moment i only got a Canopus Pure 3D I so I'm now looking for some 3D II Boards. Would be so awesome to build a a SLI-Rig

Someone out there who has some Pure 3D II for sell ?

Maybe I can help you.
But I think the shipping cost is too high(maybe over $20),though the Pure3D II board is very cheap(about $10).
I do not know exactly about the price, because I have not extra one now, but I think it is easy for me :).

PS.The passthrough cable is very difficult to find.

the shipping price isn't important for me ;) i just want one ;D

the internal cable isn't a problem either because i got one together with the canopus spectra 2500 itself :D (the external and the internal one)

interesting thing about the combo: the manual says, if you're using the whitchdoctor function, you have to install a special driver for this feature BEFORE you install any 3dfx. otherwise you have to uninstall the driver for the 3dfx card. other thing is: afaik the whitchdoctor driver is only available for win9x (got this also together with the spectra ;) )

so if you're able to get one or a pair of pure 3d IIs i'm very interested in :D

I am glad to help you.
You know there are two versions about Pure3D II.
(Pure3D II and Pure3D II LX)
Which option do you interested in?
A. Double Pure3D II
B. Double Pure3D II LX
C. Pure3D II + Pure3D II LX
D. One Pure3D II
E. One Pure3D II LX

Tell me which do you like best.
And I think you may give me about a month, I need to find it for you.

A. or B. would be very nice to build up an sli rig.

if you can find them, the non-LX would be cooler, but the LX also would be fine :D

Canopus had ever released a "Pure3D II SLI Pack".In that pack there is a Pure3D II and a Pure3D II LX.So I think Pure3D II + Pure3D II LX can also make up a SLI system.

I will try my best to find a Double Pure3D II for you,
but I think Double Pure3D II LX is much easier.

Sure, been there and done that.

It works fine.

how much does the shipping cost from switzerland to germany? maybe we can order some more cards if more cards are available...

or is this a deal about 1-2 cards only?

because im working often in germany and it's only one hour from where i'm living the shipping cost to you wouldn'tbe a problem ;)
