Voodoo Graphics 8mb production board

I have only seen one or two of these boards, I'm surprised that no one snatched this one off Ebay when it came up. The seller did have it listed as a Voodoo II but the picture was correct.

Everest showing an 8 mb board.

GLQuake running at 800 x 600 with 1024 x 768 shown as an option. I tried launching 1024 but it crashed and have tinkered with it since. It should not be able to run at that resolution due to lack of texture ram, surprised it came up as an option.

Very nice find.

Any chance some benchmarks might come floating up comparing a 4MiB and 8MiB card ?

Since these are 3dfx cards, I'd assume some Glide games would be appropriate?


Some games of the top of my head (d3d/opengl/glide);
GLQuake, Quake 2, Serious Sam, Tomb Raider, Turok, Descent (II).

..thanks for the topic,I just remembered that I have actually purchased a voodoo1 8MB from one czech guy half a year ago,but it seems like it got stuck somewhere on the way (guy that reships cz stuff for me,probably) and I have totally forgotten about it.

sometimes,I even amaze myself (how stupid I can get) Roll Eyes

@Gary - just noticed that the board looks a LOT like a Q3D board...is it the same PCB layout? ???
