Today arrived my V3 3500 NTSC from China. It's a very common card, but it has not the usual I/O Pod, just a simple D-SUB adapter. So, the owner of this card can't use the VIVO function... The adapter has a HP logo on it.

I just found out something nice. The V3 3000 PCI I traded with you Obi, as it turns out, it's an LC version Smiley

No idea what that means but it beats a regular V3 3000 PCI Grin

that is very common since all Voodoo 3 3000 PCI SGRAM models were LC cards Wink

Luxkiller65 has the rarest dated one I've seen though:

Rev.D 4600 week 46 year 2000:

Back, 4600 top left corner:

Luxkiller65 even told me it has LC written in it's bootscreen Wink

yeah, the 2000 PCI with SGRAM has LC also, it stands for Low Cost, since SGRAM was cheaper than SDRAM and the PCB layout with SGRAM was also, it was therefore cheaper to produce if I can remember Smiley

Very nice catch! I had two but traded away the other.

Yes, they were used for promotion of the Voodoo 3 cards when they just came out or just before general release.

the box is NOT from eBay

okay will put a v3 2000 in it



but the v2 looks somehow different
the PCB is green but a green i never seen before
the holes near the VGA-out and the connections betwene the layers are gold.
and near the pcb date is DCI written (      
manufacturer)
