It's a very common card, but it has not the usual I/O Pod, just a simple D-SUB adapter. So, the owner of this card can't use the VIVO function... The adapter has a HP logo on it.

The V3 3000 PCI I traded with you Obi, as it turns out, it's an LC version No idea what that means but it beats a regular V3 3000 PCI

that is very common since all Voodoo 3 3000 PCI SGRAM models were LC cards Wink

Luxkiller65 has the rarest dated one I've seen though:

Rev.D 4600 week 46 year 2000:

Front, Rev.D top right corner

Back, 4600 top left corner:

Luxkiller65 even told me it has LC written in it's bootscreen Wink

Yes, they were used for promotion of the Voodoo 3 cards when they just came out or just before general release.
