DROOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I have never seen a voodoo2 AGP, outside the Quantum3D one that Gary has on his page...nice man, is it faster thena PCI part, or is it same?

as for that Gigapixel board, can't help but notice it is nr 19, so that must mean there were more made?! were they all "lost" / destroyed / binned? Can your contact shed any light on that?

Awesome cards man....looking at history that was in the making at that time.

Hello,

Thanks at all!

Quote:
Do you know how many Voodoo2 AGP cards have been made?

For what they told me. Basic batch 10-20 samples for NAKED PCB.

Once in the Labs they starts to work in 1-5 PCB samples, adding components and debugging them. It does not means all  naked PCB are assembled. As orientation for knowing if more samples are built is important to look e-tag but in this case not too much help since it was first sample #A001.

Yes, in test or games where you need bandwitdh. If not, performance is more or less same. Always little better using AGP than PCI version.

Ok, I will request info. Smiley

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

Today I will start for Banshee prototype cards. I always found Banshee an amazing and interesting card. Here I will be some days uploanding pictures.

I always liked so much engineering tags used in Banshee cards but also in other prototypes 3Dfx cards.

My idea is always find his partner. Normally I got it.  Cool I think the PCI version will be the first time some people see it. Normally the AGP version was sent for reviewer but not the PCI format.

#5
AGP - DATE CODE 2498 - ASSY 600-0033-03
PCI - DATE CODE 2498 - ASSY 600-0034-04

DAY #6
V5-6000 PROTOTYPE BOX


This prototype was cancelled for 6k and later used on V5-5500 AGP. They removed the ports in his cheek since ports would look like bullet holes.

The Banshee samples are lovely! I always liked them (and the Voodoo3 samples), too. They show 'true' (true?.. well older Tongue) 3Dfx cards rather than the STB-like 3dfx cards.

The V5-6000 box is amazing! I wonder why no-one uploaded pics or mentioned the existance of the box. What is on the back-side of the box? Smiley

Is there information for initial ideas for the V5-5500 box as well?

Day 7 will be a Velocity 200 box? Smiley

@ultima, thanks.

@radu, yes, is a bullet too.

@Thandor, I like Banshee's proto cards but my favourite are Voodoo3 reference boards and Daytonas but of course later V5-6000 cards.
Backside is totally black.

Tomorrow not more proto box. I have another big surprise. Another nice secret.

I have some other proto box but based on V2. I will show them.

Today I will show you something that few people know and only people who worked in Rampage Chip at 3Dfx.

One of the real Voodoo secrets: Every Voodoo Rampage had a small unused region on the die where we had enough room to paint the initials of everyone who worked on the chip and a tiny image tyranasoras (sp) Rex. The Rampage chip I own has been “decapped” so you can see these things clearly under a microscope.

DAY #7
RAMPAGE CHIP OPEN DIE
...

RAMPAGE CHIP OPEN DIE (UNDER MICROSCOPE)
...

TREX WITH INITIAL PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN RAMPAGE.
