does the 6ns v3 3500 have bios version 2.15.07?

2.15.07 is a strange bios coz the original clocks are 166/166 instead of 183/183! this could be the answer....

I do remember that there is a Quantum3D Vantana Voodoo3 3500 with 6ns RAM and it has a core/mem speed of 166Mhz also.

yes your right that is the bios, ty everyone for the kind words, v3's are my favorite 3dfx cards

p.s. lucky for me Gary came to these forums because he hunted many of these harder to get cards down  and i got lucky and bought some of his extrta's

Nice collection, any boxes with that?

Title: Re: MY v3 collection
Post by BFG3dfx on 14.12.05 at 22:37:05
no, no boxes, i collect just cards and cd, my plan is to have my collection on wall above my computer so i can see them all the time, thats what makes me happy, but i do love the box art.

WOW! So the V5 6000 'load testing' V3 is your card then...SHWEET! ;D

I myself prefer Banshee cards - they're like the 'odd man out' sort of as they are kind of like a cross breed between a single V2 and a half a V3...hmm... ::) :P

Known samples made.

One is my personal board of course, the other one is set aside for intresting trade.

paulpsomiadis, i like the banshee alot too, space and money are my biggest concern when collecting 3dfx items because of that i picked the cards i liked most, i really had no idea when i started there would be this many but i really couldnt be happier.

What's the red thing on the 6k PCB?

???

It's a coil. Not uncommon. Motherboards and I believe most high-end graphic cards have them too.
