just bought 2 sealed boxed voodoo 2 s 8mb creative

i know creative s are very common

should i use them or keep them sealed ?
paid 30 australian each

Keep'em sealed.

ok they`re like brand new

i`ll have to pick up some loose ones

put these on display

thanks for the advise !

Sure, keep them sealed!

;)

If you really want that card running in a machine, look for another one on eBay, you'll get one for less than 5 EUR easily!

Do you have some pictures?

i`ll try to organise some soon just picked them up today
i`ve got a 12m magic v2 ,shame another guy had an 8m
magic no cables magic very common here

computer swap meets getting interesting here at last !

You sure did a great deal.

I'm afraid those won't get high prices, but probably you'll be able to find a collector whom to sell your second sealed one.

;)

for now i`d rather keep them as a matched sli set

if i come across any others i`ll post them

most of my 3dfx cards i found are new / old stock , powercolor , nuvision , creative . The first 2 types were a shame didn`t enough cash , 4 powercolor v33000  and 3 nuvision s v33000 all brandnew , got one of each !

others secondhand v55000 with box acc , v32000 , creative banchee i bought years ago acc no box , diamond voodoo graphics , magic v2 12m
nothing special but i still like the old games and have the hardware to run them

i don`t chase them if they turn up they turn up !
rather buy old stock then second hand
got a dead v55000 one day! lucky i could return it

i`ll get a picture of my nuvision box for anyone interested

a few pics get better ones later on

That NuVision box is totally crazy!

:o

yeah its a wierd one havent seen another one or found out any info on them basically a powercolor repacked

gold card elite mt ram from memory

my powercolors a early thick green one no tv out

nu vision rca tv out

Sexy, you should make a specific thread for those two!

ah its just a powercolor with a nice box !  ;D runs great thought on a p3 800 with quake 3 , was going to put the v5500 in that system but the v3 does an excellent job

shame if i had more cash at the time i would have got the other 2 ! they sold very quickly !

have to get a boxed matrox to go with the v2`s

almost bought a dual 550 intel board but the rd ram put me of only 128m

they would of made a great retro set !

i was wrong the nuvision s a 33000 pro like gdonovans
5.5 ns ram rca svid tv out i wondered why it ran so well compared to my powercolor version 1.0 also like gdonovans
added some pics and a small vid of the nuvision in action

hmm NuVision sounds rather Aussie too hehe, Might be an Australian brand, does it say on the box where it is made and so on or a website of that brand?

Or could I see that brand like Trust, a company that buys old stock from others and repacks and resells those items?

maybe aussie only ! no website driver disk directs u to powercolor thought it might be related to http://www.nuvision3d.com/supported.htm
3d glasses ?

have to put up a pic of the driver disk manual and card powercolor

hmm it might come from New Zeeland also hehe who knows.

From Lesotho?

;D

well its built for aussie conditions and i bought it here in australia ! but who knows i might come across a nuvision geforce one day !!

The card is most likely built in Taiwan where the most cards are mantled togeather okay except Quantum3D & Canopus  :-X

yeah taiwanese big sticker on the back of both Nuvision + powercolor

`The card is most likely built in Taiwan where the most cards are mantled togeather okay except Quantum3D & Canopus  '
and 3dfx mexico !

unless it's a Voodoo3 2000/3000/3500 TV from China of from Japan ;)

They are built in the countries from where they are sold.
