All I wanted was the disc, which is correct. The seller was good enough to send a picture of it.

The card itself is fine, the seller robbed the fan off it for another card. I'll replace the fan and be selling off the card and box later.

I'm stoked, The boxed card came in today from the Ebay auction- Not only is the driver disk correct it had the manual *AND* the card has 5ns ram!!!!

I'm going to try a little overclocking shortly and let you know if it runs at the rams rated 200 mhz speed.

Quake II results on P3-650 BX platform-

166 mhz = 84.5 FPS
183 mhz = 93.6 FPS
193 mhz = 98.1 FPS
195 mhz = 99.7 FPS
198 mhz = unable to finish timedemo
200 mhz = unable to finish timedemo

No sparkles on the screen during timedemos so I assume the core just will not run at those speeds.

Inital cooling provided by a spare 3500 heatsink and a Gamma Blower. Last certified V3 3dfx drivers used with 1024 x 768 OpenGL in Q2 control panel.

I think this one is a keeper (It would have been anyway, I forgot my other EK3 is a TV version), even with the normal fan cooled heatsink installed it only runs at 90F (33C) at 188 mhz

Now I'll I have to do is find a PCI version to round things out Wink

Did they ever make a 143 or 183 mhz version of the card?
