Does anyone know more about those non-3dfx V4's their differences from 3dfxs/performances, in wich quantity were made and where were they mostly marketed

I'd prefer not to focus mostly on evilkings, I'm more into meditech, evate... on this one

as far as i know, I've never seen an other brand than 3dfx or powercolor in the collection of the collectors i know, which has a VSA100 chip based card.

Well afaik www.yjfy.com has a Speed V4

The Evate and Speed cards are the same, except for the manufacturer. One of these is reselling the other's cards :P

The Meditech and Chance cards are the same in layout but Meditechs are blue and Chances are green.

So far I came up with those:

PowerColor Evilking IV
PowerColor Evilking IV TV-out
PowerColor Evilking IV "L"
Chance Voodoo 4
Meditech Crash Voodoo 4
Evate Voodoo 4
Speed Voodoo 4

And dubious ones

Jace tech
Axle


Anyone know more please tell me, If we cannot get some details at least we can make a list

And this one with the name"Golden Apple ",comes from China.

These V4s are very common in China,(I have seen them so many times, ;D,)but not at a good price !

First one looks like a Powercolor and the second one seems to be a Speed or Evate card.

see "powered by 3Dfx - others" here (scroll down)..

The first one isn't from powercolor , ;)Sure,they're very similar.powercolor from taiwan while this one from mainland of china :D
Powercolor willbe better than this one.

Woa someone posted here!
but afaik the 1st one mentioned is for sure a Powercolor EvilKing 4 "L" OEM since the Jace Tech has no 3Dfx logo on the pcb
and the second one is for sure the Speed Voodoo 4 judging by the pink fan.

Late regards from China! sorry;D
I'm not sure these two cards  named "zhai card" here,which means  a" chinese copy" from the standard model ,are OEMs.as  many cards here are only copies.There're also some strange ones such as a voodoo3 2000 with a Geforce MX's black PCB  or V3 in AGP4X(2X of course) :o,they're also called'zhai card', :-/
Or,maybe these two cards are  powercolor's OEM as they're sooooooo  alike, ;D  
sorry for my poor E, ;D

Let me understand this zhai thing, these are some kind of blackmarket cards using other's designs or it's some sort of agreement for chinese market coverage?

Anyway they have 3Dfx chipsets on them so it'd be cool to have some wierd ones... got some spares? ;D ;D

Knock-off designs.

yes ,powercolor's productions with 3dfx's chips are authorized by 3dfx,but some odd V4s(difficult to get more info)may come from the blackmarket, ::)
Thought they're really cool, they looks a bit of ugly and unnatural , ;D
I prefer V4s from STB  ;D
