Title: New project for all 3dfx fans
Post by trevormacro on 07.10.11 at 16:20:54
Hello everybody,

My New Amazing 3dfx Project :

( For All 3dfx Fans )

If anyone have new motheboard with pci-e slot, you can use your old 3dfx voodoo cards with this adaptor (at 66 Mhz).

It's the best adaptor to have better speed.

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

Some tests : Supermicro adaptor vs Pericom adaptor vs PLX adaptor


I test my 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI( @ default 166 mhz ) with all adaptors.

---------------------------------------------------
My spec : Maximus 4 Extreme, Intel 2600k @ 3,4 Ghz.
Drivers : Koolsmoky beta and Sfft 1.7
Operating System : Windows Xp Pro Sp3
---------------------------------------------------

3dmark2001se results :


With Beta koolsmoky Drivers :


- Supermicro adaptor : 3620 marks ( 66 mhz )

- Pericom adaptor : 3487 marks ( 66 mhz )

- PLX adaptor : 3116 marks ( 33 mhz )


With Sfft 1.7 Drivers :

Sfft Configurator : DDI 9 + Enable Tripple Buffer

* Supermicro adaptor : 3359 marks

* Pericom adaptor : 3147 marks

* PLX adaptor : 2899 marks


The best adaptor is Supermicro ( PCI-X support ).


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

I test my 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 AGP ( @ default 166 mhz ) with all adaptors + Change Agp2Pci adaptor ( modded @ 66 mhz )

---------------------------------------------------
My spec : Maximus 4 Extreme, Intel 2600k @ 3,4 Ghz
Drivers : Beta Koolsmoky and Sfft 1.7
Operating System : Windows Xp Pro Sp3
---------------------------------------------------

3dmark2001se results :


With Beta Koolsmoky Drivers :


- Supermicro adaptor : 3625 marks ( 66 mhz )

- Pericom adaptor : "in test" ( 66 mhz )

- PLX adaptor : 3120 marks ( 33 mhz )


With Sfft 1.7 Drivers :

* Supermicro adaptor : 3364 marks ( 66 mhz )

* Pericom adaptor : "in test" ( 66 mhz )

Nice, but I wanted to see the AGP2PCI adaptor link :) There are still PCI slots around even on newest boards so its not *that* much of a fuss.

More info on the AGP2PCI adaptor link please  :)

Good to know that 3dfx card can be run on a modern slot
