Title: Different makes on v3's
Post by VDX on 20.12.04 at 04:10:40
I was just thinking how i used to think there was just the 3dfx v3 cards, then a few different ones turned up that where a bit odd like the quantum3d, i cant seem to find any kind of list for all makes of v3 and i was just thinking how odd 3dfx really was,  if powercolor was the outside the u.s. maker than who was supertek?  im sure someone here can help me out with this, also was there an asus v3?

Yes there was an Asus Voodoo 3 (I can send you a picture of the Asus box if you like)

that would be great Gary, is the card anything special or same old 3dfx design?

Far as I know it was just a reference design card, but have never seen one.

wow that a nice wannahave :) Today I recieved my 13th Voodoo3, 12 of them are all different :) this one is a SGRAM version with 6ns ram and a small black square heatsink, there were also one with a small siver square heatsink .

This one that i just recieved has a real strange date on it, on the top side I read Rev. C and it's date is 5399, how is that possible, I can't remember 1999 as a leap year ... I think my card is resemblance of Ery Indiana  ::)

Why wierd, well we all know that 1 year has 52 weeks and a leap year has 53,  and that every leap is falls in a year with an even number and not an odd one, 1999 has an odd number but my Voodoo3 2000 says it was a leap year  :-/ And there is something else, it has a small gold painted dot on the top side in the right top corner.
