All I know is that it's a 3dfx Tuner card. :P My guess is it could be a Voodoo TV 100/200 or Desktop TV but the weird thing is I own both and they kinda look alike but not quite... ???

Any idea's?

edit: very odd... it looks like a Voodoo TV 200 but it doesn't have the ram chip on the bottom right like a Voodoo TV 200 would. WTF!!?? ??? It's not a Voodoo TV 100 aswell as the PCB design is different.

thx for these big pics...no need to make such big pics...

looks like a VoodooTV 200 (Lite Version)
some connectors, chips & SMDs are missing...

Rev.A0...seems to be a prototype of the voodootv 200 but the "not for resale" stickers are missing...

where did you get that card from? ebay?

anyway: nice find!

Looks like a prototype for sure, nice catch!

Not a production board that is for sure.

Oh a prototype of the TV 200. ;D That explains a lot. ;) No wonder I couldn't find any information on google or the people I've asked.


I got the card on eBay about a year or so back for about $8. I really didn't think much of it at the time since I was buying so much 3dfx stuff back then and simply put it in my closet for storage until just a few days ago.

I'm going to test the card on my Epox 8k3a+ and see if I'm able to get it working with some TV 200 drivers. I hope it works! ;)

p.s sorry about the pics I'll resize them soon. :)

8US$ is not expensive for this card....such a lucky guy...congratz...

maybe one could say which connectors are missing...i do not know it exactly...

well it does look alot like the VoodooTV 200, if you compare it's out puts and so on and also the chip layout:

@ Mavrick

Your card is from week 12 year 2000 and it's an A0 Revision ;)

Though i'm not so sure it's a prototype, there are no "NOT FOR RESALE" Stickers and no Engineer's Tag attached to it.
So there fore it maybe an old model with the old cap covering the TV-Tuner chip.
