Title: 3Dfx Voodoo II 3.0 brand identification
Post by Quaker763 on 07.05.11 at 02:26:03

I recently (last year xD) acquired a Voodoo 2 V3 and i cant tell what brand it is. It uses one of the 3Dfx made PCB's as it has the 3Dfx logo in the middle. Here are some pictures
BTW its a 12 MB model with 110 MhZ RAM

There is no way of telling from which brand this card came. It's a generic card that was most likely sold by a reseller and without box or manuals (and sometimes cd's) it's impossible to tell.

A picture of the backside might help though.

That sounds interesting! I have ever thought Voodoo2 PCB rev. 3.0 was only a rumor.

Cool story bro 8-)

Well if it IS rare (I somehow doubt it though :'() Then the original owner shouldve made me pay higher than $30 :o

Hi, I sent you a PM about a month ago. I thought you didn't read the board very often, but I have just noticed that you last logged in two days ago. Did you receive my message?

Best Regards,

My Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D2 card have RAM rated at 110Mhz, and is 12mb as well. I remember when i got mine (for free, by trading), i wasn't able to see the brand on it, till i found the sticker "Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D2" on it, the board is green as well.

The problem is the name of the card is on a sticker only, so on yours, it might have fallen or just removed by someone.

Strange thing is mine have a heatsink on the middle processor. (which one is that?)

Wow I didn't realise anyone had replied to this thread in years haha.

Anyway, that board layout is identical to mine, down to the markings. Thanks for finding out what brand it is, it's awesome I can put a name to the card now! ;D
