That's just the name the driver .inf gives. No Rampage + Sage card was ever build. It's possible that there excist (or existed...) some PCB drawings of later Rampage cards, but they never were produced. The development was still to early.

"Rampage 2000" also isn't correct, final naming scheme would've been Specter 1000/2000/3000.

So it's more a Specter 1000... although this prototype would've never come to the market in that way.

Rampage 2000 is just a prototype name if you ask me.

The principal 3Dfx board engineer told about Rampage there were a 2nd Rampage rev. but never saw the light of day. Here some amazing pics runing 3DMark2000 DX7. Card can't pass all the tests. Many BSODs I got but even so I was very surprised when I saw my Rampy runing them. Enjoy!! Regards, Oscar.

Yupe, RAMPAGE deserves to be a new to 3Dfxzone.it

Here some SShots UT in OpenGL mode. Quality is bad but games works smooth. Not lock ups. Anyway, it looks in Software mode though.

NOTE- PICTURES BELOW ARE NOT IN OPNEGL MODE IF NOT SW MODE.

UNREAL TOURNAMENT - OpenGL

UNREAL TOURNAMENT - DX - Game locks up very often.

Regards,
Oscar.

The OpenGL are just Software - you are correct (might be wise to edit and remove the OGL setup picture and just put that the screens are SW mode to avoid confusion...)

Unreal Tournament- In D3D mode is impossible to play more than 5sec. Card locks up all the time. Driver needs tune ups! Regards, Oscar.

I was talking about UT. D3D is unstable. Yes, in 3DMark'99 was to able to pass all the test but in 3DMark2000 in some test card lock up. Regards, Oscar.

First 3Dfx card handling such tests. Regards, Oscar.
