Title: Unknown 3Dfx card
Post by LuxKiller65 on 26.03.05 at 17:59:44

Hum, I just found this 3Dfx card (old logo on card) on the new (let's say new) PC I got today. I can't see anything on the PCB related to the brand or something.

a Voodoo Rush with 4 mb ?

The best way to find out is, to build in a pic ;) and check the bios screen

Well. Take a look at the down-end corner of PCB. You will be able to read G 105....It's card's model :). This is a Voodoo Rush G 105 from ProComp ;)

That's really clear because the FCC ID is imprinted clearly: it's MAA8G105. You can insert this string at the FCC-Homepage and you get the company ProComp Informatics Ltd, the G105 is the description.

I have this card, too, but with the backplate. ;)

You mean the metal band which has fallen off on my card?

;D

So it's just a crappy Rush... I was hoping to make some bucks with it...

How much can I ask for it (now the metal band is fixed)?

Well eBay is another thing... I also paid peanuts for rare games which sell for more than 30€ in shops.

Here's the nice startup screen of the ProComp Voodoo Rush:

----------
MXIC

Macronix International Co., Ltd.

MX86251 BIOS 09/11/97 Ver 1.05

2MB Frame Buffer, 2MB Texture Memory
----------

The drivers for this card, found on the drivers' page, are the Macronix Voodoo Rush V1.02.11B drivers.

Now, are there other (newer) versions of these drivers? Any BIOS update to be downloaded somewhere?
