@ Oscar very nice but why 2 Voodoo5 5000 AGP's what's the purpose for that ??? is one defect?
Rather spoiled imho Lips Sealed

Anyways that Voodoo4 4500 AGP + DVI & TV-Out 32MB is indeed a nice one, that used to be FalconFly's card

Sometimes I really wonder how many Voodoocards are found worldwide, anyone an idea about this one? maybe asamall 2500 in total, that still wouldn't be much for a worldwide population wouldn't it.

hmm yeah Absolutely amazing again Oscar BTW I sent ya a detailed PM i found more info to this baby .. old info from 5 years ago Wink

BTW as you can see this card can be fitted with a second VGA-Out that spot is even printed!!! which is very rare seen because most cards that have that spot empty also have no printed circuit only the holes for the pieces that belong there, Oscar's card has those parts allready in place , so theory this card can be upgraded to dual head Voodoo5 5000 PCI really ballistic!

yeah that's sure is your baby Oscar hehe I sent you that link once a time ago

This is the part that really says that the card reviewed is the card you have

The Voodoo 5 above is based on the version A0 VSA-100 silicon, it still has some bugs in it and it can't run on the speed that it's supposed to do. The final Silicon (which is going into mass-production quite soon) will run on 166MHz compared to the 100 MHz A0 version that was presented to me.

hmm strange that 3dfx would put REV.A0 on the PCB it's self:

if you compare the PCB of a V6K Rev.A1 1500 and Rev.A2 2600 the PCB's are totally different so are the Revisions, how should we determine the PCB's revision if REV A0 wouldn't be that ?

Where must I look for that? since that 4899 is the PCB date hehe aka Week 48 Year 1999 that is.

well now I'm confused first you say that Rev.A0 is the chip revision then you say:

"The Voodoo 5 above is based on the version A0 VSA-100 silicon"

Rev.A0 is PCB Revision that is what I know for eons but where did you read the chip rivision from then?

Sorry Gary it's alittle too unclear Lips Sealed

lol

Reply #58 - 08.03.06 at 00:03:31 ah yes I see now heh oh well yeah makes alot more sense now The Rev.A0 Chips run @ 100Mhz while the main product was planned to opperate @ 166Mhz But Gary your 5000 PCI has a Rev.A1 PCB and 0900 date what Rev VSA-100's does that one have and what speeds do they run? 143Mhz like the Voodoo5 5500 AGP Rev.A1 0900?

Like any semiconductor I'm sure some A0 chips run at only 100 mhz safe and others at higher speeds. Since the V5-6000 was slated to run at 183 mhz I think that was the target speed for the chips with the "lesser" chips being used for the 4500/5500 cards.

Can't really say since when I obtained the board it did not have the original bios and I have not removed the fans to look at the chips.

I remember Hank remarking that the later V5-6000 used A3 chips and would run fine at 200 mhz... so the process was refined as time progressed and the design bugs squashed.
