Test in 3dmark2001se :

Hardwares :

- Asus p5wdgw ws pro
- Intel E8400
- 4Gb DDR2

Softwares :

- Koolsmoky Betas Drivers
- Windows XP Pro


...


22º in the room, with not extra fan for the card.
Perhaps with 6 big fan. 3 front and 3 back would help to gain some MHz more!

This Voodoo5 6000 Gold SE is a formula one!

201 MHz passed in 3DMark2001Se

ps. Anyway, I am very happy to see runing my card over 200MHz for benchmarking! It is amazing!


Best Regards,

Trevormacro

You've really ruined the card now. The DRAM mod was tasty but this is dreadful.

Since the death of the 3dfx company (11 years), nobody has succeeded to relive Voodoo5 6000 cards.
Let's do something for our Voodoo5 6000 do not disappear completely!
I wonder if someone have a brain !
Everyone buy cards and does nothing with it.
Everybody can do what he want. If I want to buy all cards and keep them all my life it's my decision and respect it.
And its also the decision of each V56K owner if he sell his card or not.
And it is my decision if I want to modify the card with better memory.

Imagine if humans were in extinction.
What would you do ? Nothing ?

Some people have killed their cards, others are losing their cards, keep their cards in a closet.
People use these cards as graphics cards in unlimited series.
Approximately 1000+ test cards were produced in year 2000.
There remains a few hundred cards in 2011 and only a little over sixty works.

All my Voodoo5 6000 cards works perfectly.

I have plans in my head to give a second breath to the famous 3dfx Voodoo5 6000.

----------------------------------------------------

@ps47 :

What are you doing for 3dfx with your Voodoo5 6000 3700A ?

@ exxe :

What is your goal with your collection ?

@ Varus :

Do you have one prototype card ?

@ Tim :

Where I have ruined the card ? Justify it
Now it's a Full working card ! Smiley Not dammaged.



Thanks for reading,

Trevormacro

Do you really think that the air flow will be optimized this way? It's a mess. And stop with this hypotetical human extintion! Grin

That's because it's a *collector* item, not a normal card. I understand if someone mods/overclocks a GTX590 to get high framerates in games, but V5 6000?

Imagine someone buying a Ford card made in 1910 (an example), then he would start tuning the car: improving the engine, adding new tires and lights, etc.

That's *exactly* what you do with the V5 6000. And you are surprised that people don't like this and consider it a bad thing.

And you're right, it's your card, you can do whatever you like with her. But it doesn't mean that you're doing a good thing.

He has no idea about this community. He doesen't understand that anybody - and the 3dfx friends or V56K owners - never will have any benefit of his experiments.

It is only a shame what happen to the cards.  Sad

He proofs his own incompetence with this, except in changing some heatsink stuff. And now he ask for some understanding and wonders why most of us haven't.

So Long

It's different because of the heatpipes and other details. Weird.trevormacro wrote on 14.11.11 at 11:09:04:

@ Backfire, RaverX :

I have a lot of 3700A. This is an Intermediate Project for a day to show you what I can do for this community.
I do not want to see all the Voodoo5 6000 disappear.
I want to save this beautifull card !

If no one can do it, I will do it !
