That's some nice V1 SLI set
And it would be also nice to have one such set.

I've been after one of those for AGES (haven't we all!) ::)

...problem is that Q3D stuff is ALWAYS pricey! :'(

I have only seen two sets in public, the production set Patience purchased and the prototype set I have.

And this looks like a production card since there are no modifications  ;)

All depends on how bad someone wants some, in truth I have seen them sell for more then the lowest V6K ($700) but it is very rare for a V6K to go for anything less then $1000.

Gary, there is a slight difference between the card you have and the one in pic...

see the backplate of the card...have you found?

the card in pic there is a completed backplate without space for vga

and the card you have two backplates are same which have space for vga

is that difference between prototype and production?

I thought Voodoo 1's couldn't do SLI like Voodoo 2's. I have a Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo 1 4mb pci, and it has the cable to connect to other 2d video card.

I've done a lot of research on my own but never came across a Voodoo 1 having SLI capabilities like the Voodoo 2.

SST-1, SST-2 and VSA-100 all support SLI.

This Q3D card is BTW a perfect example of what the Voodoo Graphics could have been, 2 TMU's and SLI.

what about the avenger? Q3D bulid a card with 4 chips...

@frank: patience is not a guy ;)

They used a chip for it I guess. Alienware also worked on a dual V3 setup but they had to do some hardware modifications or so.

I think Banshee was capable, seeing as it was basically a V2 in one chip minus a TMU.

hmm about Alienwares Dual V# wasn't that nothing but a strange rumor? I personally never seen facts about that nor the card it's self.
