Hard to tell from the picture, could be anything (Velocity 4400 for example or an ATI Rage)

No "caps" at the end of the board by the ram chips either as a V3 would have.

Need more info, chances are it is not though.

I also see a monitor decal/marking on the backplate which is something I have never seen 3dfx do.

hmm... so this could be a rage128... it has also such ram layout as a V3

and probably some rage128'S have DVI. like this one...

I guess you need to remove the heatsink to find out what it is.

:P

It looks like the card has an AGP4x connector, if you look closely. So it can't be a V3 :)

No typical capacitors of V3 layouts

one simple way to find it out: remove the heatsink

though I've never seen a Rage 128 with a nice DVI like that before, still nice to have TM30 :)
