Imagine trying to arrange all this for a single good shot with a 3 year old child and a cat underfoot!

Nerve wracking, just pure nerve wracking.

Note- No 3dfx cards or boxes were harmed in this production, just my nerves.

that is very nice, great looking retail boxes, one question about what you have there, was powercolor the only maker of the L-card or did 3dfx make one too? anyways very nice :)

Very nice, i love boxes.  ;D Proud 3dfx Collector, sure !

Yes, yes thank you!

Figures, a boxed Powercolor Evil King Voodoo 2 showed up *after* the picture was taken, I have never seen one before! Also keep forgetting my Monster I and II boxes up in the attic.

As far as I know only Powercolor made an L-card 4500.

@gdonovan,

Very nice collection  ;

To own a 6000 must be awesome, have you used it yet ?

I think i've talked the wife into letting me try to acquire one some how  ;D

Thanks, I wish the rest of the collection could be boxed but chances of that are slimmer as the cards get older...

As I add the boxed cards I'll be selling off the unboxed ones as I enjoy having the complete "package"

Of course some OEM and prototype cards never had boxes to begin with ;-)

Only an hour after the box hit the house =)

It has full functions with 8x AA, was fun watching it run GLQuake at 1024 x 768 with everything cranked to maximum detail and quality setting at full 8x AA.

Very crisp and clean, Quake II looked excellent as well.  I need to reinstall a few other programs so I can do some further testing as well.

I did play with Q3test with the motion blur patch, pretty neat effect! Wasn't to stable though with the current driver set I was using

(last available VSA-100 drivers from 3dfx)

Great collection..... and so many retail boxes. Really great.

ABSOLUTELY  MARVELOUS  MAN!!!

I suppose photography must be also a hobby of yours ;)

hehe it's nice to see more collections of this vast size, great man.

But what do we do with our collections within 50 years from now?  I was thinking about a time capsule or so, what are your idea's on this and how does the rest reply on this, I would like to know :)

God bless Ya all!  :D

Actually in general it isn't and never was.... but my mother did use to be a professional photographer and since I do take a lot of pictures for my website over the years I have developed an eye for what looks good and what does not.

Perhaps it's something in the genes or it's just the perfectionist coming out.

This is most of the boxed stuff (not in the pic is boxed Diamond Monster I & II, Quantum3d X-24 retail, Powercolor EvilKing Voodoo II and Skywell Magic3d Voodoo II)

The Monster cards were in the attic and the other cards showed up after the pic was taken, as I obtain the boxed cards I'm selling off the unboxed counterparts.

Of course the OEM cards and the prototypes will never have boxes so I will always have a few unboxed cards ;-)

Currently I still have a lot of unboxed stuff! Not as exciting to look at though... well except for a few cards. =)

Don't know- I have given it some thought time to time but don't have a clear answer yet. I think a video card museum would be cool though.

Cards from the dawn of the 3d age.

A friend and fellow 3dfx collector suggested posting these.... so here they are.

Quantum3d SB50-4400TV (Voodoo Graphics with 8 megs of ram, 50 mhz clock) Clocked like a stock Voodoo Graphics but sure doesn't benchmark like one.

Daytona 32 meg DDR (143 mhz clock and no heatsink required) You are looking at one of the first Daytona cards and it works flawless.

I know nothing yet aside from what the card states- A green PCB Quantum3d Voodoo 3 3500! 166 mhz clock according to 3dfx tools and I have no plans to try and flash it to anything else.

For images see- http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/

(trying to clean things up)

I have been very, very lucky this month.... and now very, very broke!

No complaints.  =)

man i just love that Voodoo4-2 4200 + DVI 32MB DDR PCI what is Rev number is it and what is the PCB date of it,

like say: Rev A0 3700. that's week 37 year 2000.

I would like to find out how many different daytona's there are. maybe you could help me on this.

BTW it's nice to see more different 3dfx cards from other collectors too  ;)

Board number = 210-0419-001
Revision = A1
Date = 3500

I'm getting enough 3dfx cards now with the digital connector I'm toying with the idea of picking up a flat screen. The small ones are cheap  enough.

the Quantum3D cards are very interesting indeed... ;)
How did your friend get these ?

Just dumb luck to be at the right place and time.

The whole month has been very good actually, been very, very lucky. The only bad transaction I can think of (so far my fingers are crossed) is an Asus Banshee I had lined up from an asian seller but ebay informed me yesterday his account was compromised and has been locked down.

Good thing I had not sent payment yet!
