another thing please use imagehosting.com, since it has no popups ;)
http://www.imagehosting.com/ you can also make usage of the 3dfx.ch gallery ofcourse ;) here are my favourite Voodoo3 shots: Power Color Evilking3 Pro 166 + Composite & S/Video outs I like it's PCB colour very much, it's like if it's made of pure Gold ;D It's a half sealed set, so the advatage is that I could make these exellent shots with my dad's Sony Cybershot 7.2 Mega Pixel Digicam 8) |

3dfx Voodoo 5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700, my favourite 3dfx card 8)
The Layout just does it, it has lot's of style for also being the smallest Voodoo 5 ever made qua length & ram amount, it's PCI brother is longer and it's 5500 AGP X4 has more ram, thereby making this the smallest Voodoo 5 ever made :) |

Yeah you bet !:) I kinda decided to leave it like that too, since it's a Final Pre Production Prototype id deserves to be left the way it is, in it's constructed original state :) There are some differences between the two, the Proto has PC Bios 1.11DVI which is the original Bios for that card and the production card is flashed with PC Bios 1.18DVI. The Mac cards were first tested on PC's then when they have pased all tests on PC's they recieved a Macintosh bios for further testing, anyways that is how the procedures went :) What also a a nice thing is, is that this Voodoo 5 5500 PCI Macintosh Prototype has a White DVI like it's later Production models :) as all the other Voodoo 5 5500 PCI Macintosh Proto's have Black DVI-D's they are also older and more common seen than these with the white ones. To be honest it's the first Voodoo 5 5500 PCI Macintosh Prototype I have seen with a white DVI-D since the older Rev.A1 2500's have black DVI-D's. my card is a Rev.A1 2900, maybe it's the card that decided the production model, to be equiped with White DVI-D's instead of the black ones, since I have never met a Production card witha Black DVI, so I suppose this is my rarest card in my collection so far :) |

Since when? Since some 3dfx drivers (I thought the latest 3dfx Reference drivers) didn't run correctly with an AMD K6 and AMD K6/2? ;) I don't think "AMD" would be the best for 3dfx cards. For compatibility with every driver the Intel CPU (and not motherboard) (and maybe Cyrix too) would probably be better. :) Though the latest (non-3dfx) drivers run good on AMD CPU's too. |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 15.03.07 at 19:38:49
uhm the best CPU for 3dfx cards is still the AMD Athlon as AMD AthlonXP ;)
an AthlonXP Barton 3000+ on a good VIA KT333 based Motherboard is still the fastest and most stable setup for a 3dfx AGP card so then again AMD get's the award for best 3dfx CPU for 3dfx AGP cards ;) But yes the Pentium3 was very rock solid of it's time true there :P My Pentium3 E 650Mhz on EPoX EP-BX3 rocked with Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP w00t, it never crashed really it never did :) What I meant was the time of the Voodoo4 & 5 where as the Pentium4 was really alot slower in most cases for Voodoo4 AGP as Voodoo5 AGP setups than AthlonXP combined with VIA Apollo KT333 and PC2700 DDR333 memory which mostly had the best timings as results especially with a Voodoo 5 6000 AGP card. but yeaps you are right with the K6-2 as K6-3 Intel was the best choice for 3dfx cards ;) |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by MrFossey on 15.03.07 at 20:12:19
Ah, yes. For the latest cards with the latest drivers the systems based on AMD CPU's run very well indeed. (performance wise).
I was more aiming at "back then" (When the cards we're new and the world was flat). Not all 3dfx drivers ran perfect on a system with an AMD CPU. Systems with an AMD K6 and a Voodoo Grahpics card could run perfect...with the correct driver ;D |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 15.03.07 at 21:28:16
heh ever ran a Voodoo5 6000 in a Pentium3 650 on a BX3 mobo, that was terrible :-X
some mobo's ran okay but some others were shamefull the AthlonXP age was the best for Voodoo 4 as 5 performance as stabillity wise espeacially for Voodoo5 6000 setups :) |

thanks. :)
Gonna install the thing tommorrow and see what I can get outta her. Wonder what she'll be scoring in benchmarks, and how much of that score will actually be due to the card. :) Should get really nice fps in glide games, as it will be combined with an opteron @ 3.0Ghz and 1GB of DDR600. Really a shame that no Athlon64 motherboard supports agp 4x. :) Otherwise people could plug a 6000 into an A64 3700+ rig and then the 6000 would no longer be starving for data. :) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by paulpsomiadis on 18.05.07 at 20:40:46
@exxe - it's a VERY easy fix for your Daytona.
The inverse U track can simply be bridged across with some fine wire - this will bypass the U shape entirely (and both places where the trace is broken) As for the other track adjacent to this - just solder a wire from the top half to the bottom and bypass the break. @Mansfield - a bit more difficult, but possible for your broken V2! Use a fine tipped FLAT watch screwdriver, or a long needle to CAREFULLY bend the pins into position. You will then need to use a 0.5mm or 0.25mm soldering iron tip to solder them back onto the board. (no extra solder will be required - these boards have all the extra solder you'll need already on them!) Good luck you guys! @Ultima - glad to see your MOD went well, very kewl! |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by ultima on 19.05.07 at 11:19:01
yeah, I'm glad it went ok as well.
gonna see how far she'll go with this. Already let it run @ 183Mhz, no problems whatsoever. benchmarkscores are up ofcourse, but...pci is a limiting factor. :( gonna do the same to my agp version. :) |

Nice ;)
The fans are a little loud but oh what a machine 8) I set mine up next to a V6K and let both of them run the UNREAL flyby and I swear, The Mercury looked better at a lower resolution. It was at 512 X (i don't remember now) but it was the one below 640 X 480. I would bring the menu up to pause the flyby, then release them at the same time. The Mercury would kick the V6K's butt in low res. The FSAA was stunning. I had the V6K set at 8 X FSAA but at the low res the Merc won hands down. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by gtxe on 24.06.07 at 23:22:29

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Eye-Q on 03.07.07 at 18:49:27
Looks as if the trace from the power connector to the corresponding component is broken so they just soldered a wire between the connector and the component.
The "Golden Sample" maybe refers to the first completely working 5500 PCI... Nice catch osckhar :) |

well the dates of the common Voodoo5 5500 PCI are the following: Rev.A1 2700 most less common since it is older as lesser people have this old rev. Rev.A1 2900 most common Rev.A1 3100 not so common for production model of Voodoo5 5500 PCI for the Voodoo5 5500 PCI Macintosh there are the following rev's and dates :) Rev.A1 2500 these have black DVI's only made as prototypes Rev.A1 2900 this is a prototype pre-production revision which has a white DVI as some other production models do have this Rev + PCB date as well.

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by exxe on 04.11.07 at 16:46:38
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video S-Video and audio (mono or stereo) can be transferred through SCART connections as well. However, it was not part of the original SCART standard, and not every SCART-compatible device supports it for this reason. Also, S-Video and RGB are mutually exclusive through SCART, due to the S-Video implementation using the pins allocated for RGB. Most SCART-equipped televisions or VCRs (and almost all of the older ones) do not actually support S-Video, resulting in a black-and-white picture if such a connection is attempted, as only the luminance signal portion is usable. |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by outlaw on 04.11.07 at 19:09:22
So what it says is that it should be the TV's fault. Not in my case since it plays color via svideo from other vgas (like 6800gt or 4200ti). Anyways not that I care, composite works just fine.

Reworked AALCHEMY 8232SB machine running W2K. Replaced the original dual Pentium 3 1.0 Ghz CPUs and motherboard with a Soyo P4S Dragon motherboard and Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz CPU. Also has Geforce 4 TI4600 for primary graphics and 1 GB of DDR RAM. Added extensions for power and front panel switches. It has been awhile since I benchmarked it, but if I recall, it was significantly faster than a V5 6000 running Quake 3 with identical AA settings. I managed to get every OpenGL game I own from the 1997 - 2002 era to run on the AALCHEMY Card. Sad thing is, the Geforce 4 is actually faster than the AALCHEMY card.

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by sigtau on 23.06.08 at 02:22:54
For exxe:
I forgot I had UT99. I just installed it and patched to V4.36. The only way to get it to work is to use the wickedGL mini driver. If you don't already have the latest WickedGL switcher utility installed, download it from Falconfly.de and install it. Once it's installed, you'll need to modify the wglgames.cfg file located in \Program Files\Metabyte\WickedGL by adding the following lines: "Unreal",unreal.exe,opengl32.dll "Unreal Tournament",UnrealTournament.exe,opengl32.dll IMPORTANT: you will need to delete two of the other entries because the switcher will crash when you try to run it. It's a max line limit of some sort. Once that is all squared away, run the WickedGL installer and select UT from the list. Then select the \system folder in the Unreal Tournament install directory. Click install hi-res version and you should be good to go. Switch the renderer to OpenGL in the UT preferences and then frag away. I tested with the training mode and it looks to be good. Very smooth at 1280 x 1024:) For gamma742: No issues at all with the P4. The 1 gHz P3s were starving this card severely. I knew all this silicon could do better. I was a bit worried at first with whether the 8232 would like the Soyo mobo. I know this board is considered safe to use with the V5 6000, so I figured I couldn't do much damage. Just to be safe, I install W2K in the box without the 8232 board installed. When it came time to do the deed, I was quick to get the drivers installed and run the Q3D logo test. I was shocked when the frame count @ 1280 x 1024 shot up to 240 fps. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the benchmarks for Quake 3. When compared to the benchmarks on Gary's site, this thing destroyed the V5 6000. I don't have the numbers handy, but it was at least 50% faster with the same detail settings. I just did a fresh install of W2K, so I don't have Q3 loaded up yet. Of course, all system configs are different and the only way to have a fair face off is if someone donated a V5 6000 to me to perform testing! Anyone??? It was worth a shot. Ken |

Here's my list of working OGL games on the Aalchemy: GLQuake Quake 2 Quake 3 Hexen II Heretic II Unreal Unreal Tournament Daikatana Half Life I bet any OGL game that is compatible with the WickedGL driver will work. There's also a trick where you can copy the the full up Aalchemy OpenGL driver file (Q3dSglG3.dll) or the 3dfxOGL.dll file from the winnt/system32 directory into the appropriate game folder and rename it. It took a bunch of trial and error to find what worked best. The WickedGL driver was the fastest of all three. Also, the Aalchemy is Glide 3 compatible. So if anyone has a list of games that will run using Glide 3, then those should work as well. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by gdonovan on 26.06.08 at 12:32:28
Just a quick note-
1) The Wicked driver will introduce some rendering errors in some games if you look for them. Noted it mostly in Quake 3. 2) AAlchemy rigs with SLI will not play any games except GLQuake with Wicked driver. |

Post sensor board (nvsensor) with a Voodoo 3 doing the heavy lifting. It filters the output from the AA5 boards and outputs through a DVI connector. It is connected through an internal SLI bridge. As Gamma posted in another thread guys- I have already been offically warned by Quantum3D that this board is not for export. To be used by US nationals or someone with a greencard only even then after filling out a pile of paperwork and having yourself investigated. I was told if I was to mail one out to someone in Germany that both of us would be getting some face time with the feds and have a new mailing address shortly after. |

1.) Copy and paste the "Thumbnail for Forums" code. 2.) Then replace the FIRST url in the code with the "Direct Link to Image" url. Same thing goes for "Direct Link for Forum" 1.) Copy and paste the "Direct Link for Forum code. 2.) Then replace the FRIST url in the code with "Direct Link to Image" url. Very simple people. ;) |

Example - (first URL is the acutal image, second url is smaller thumbnail) Code: The above code results in - Sorry about not having a more specific answer to "Where do I get the "Thumbnail for Forums" code?" I have never really used photobucket and I didn't want to register to find out ;) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Max_R on 04.08.08 at 15:01:27
Those Heatsinks are industrial solution (before being a medical research tecnichan my previous job was to design machine tools) used to cool transistors and they are fixed to the V2 with a special thermoconductive ceramic.

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by G1nX on 04.08.08 at 15:58:41
The effect is interesting, one more thing you could do is add a 3dfx logo or something to cover up the hole in the middle for better visual impact, just my opinion.
I use Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive to fix the heatsinks to the chips. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by paulpsomiadis on 04.08.08 at 18:53:37
Here's an idea - if you have the cash... ;)
Get three circular pieces of aluminium - then get the 3Dfx logo engraved on them - THEN stick them to the top of the heatsinks with thermal epoxy. :D SWEET! 8-) |

@razrx in the last picture the seems to be a contradiction in terms "Not For Resale" and "V5 Proof of Purchase" . All and all very nice work, the box looks great.
I was also wandering why everybody that tried to do one of these boxed for the 6k has made it using the v5 5500 US version as model and as a result it's US Box. It would be nice to see the EU version or even the APJ version ;) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by paulpsomiadis on 16.09.08 at 19:29:25

As far as making your own Voodoo 5 6000 box, here are my tips.
Go here: http://www.voodoo3dfx.com/Foro_V6k/viewt...ci&start=0&sid= I found the above thread looking around one day and I used all the info on that thread to make my box. What you need: -the v5 6000k front image (see the thread I posted above for the image) -a V5 5500 AGP retail box works best(other V5s or V4s would do the trick too, but more work is involved) -a fairly high resolution scanner -empty V# #### box. I used a V3 3000 PCI box to glue the printed image to. -Gimp2 - Awesome program that I had to learn as I worked on this project (www.sourceforge.net) -LOTS of time and patience 8-) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by rottentreats on 16.09.08 at 21:31:20
@razrx - congrats on an excellent project!
I think a V6k would fit in that box just fine. (one like SFFT's, now murfi's) I'm sure that if the cards went to prod they would not have included that extra/waste pcb. :) Don't know about the whole VV though... oh well, we are talking about the unkown, therefore everything is pure speculation. |

@exxe: I believe in the make your own Molex to 1 Pin power adapter. /EDIT - My V5 6000 box is 37 cm long, but my card is only 34.5 cm...... hmmmm... I've got some ideas for another project... ;) @rotten: ya, VV isn't my thing either. /EDIT - Here's a newer picture of the Molex to 1 Pin. In the first image I used liquid electrical tape.... i wouldn't really recommend it, since I respliced, soldered and heat shrink tubed the cable. It also looks cleaner.

No. It would not even be possible; different pinout... Just a Banshee with 5.5ns (183Mhz) RAM rather than its orriginal 10ns (100Mhz) memory. The card design has severe limitations, so no luck running the RAM at its rated speed. Yet quite fun to look at... |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by omega_supreme on 02.11.08 at 19:55:35
It's been a long time since I posted something so not many will know me. Anyway I received some new stuff yesterday so I decided to once again show off the nice stuff:
The A2 This card is kind of special. First thing is that it's rework is completely different from what we saw before. A different approach was taken here to tackle the problems with the design. Notice the wires going to or from the Xilinx. The tag says: "feed back clock". Secondly I was told this was the personal card from one of the 3dfx engineers, nice detail that I have to find out more about. I plugged the card in and it works good. No 8xAA in Quake 3 though. But in UT (glide) and Blood 2 (D3D) everything is fine. The card is powered by the old voodoo volts, a magnificant sight: Second item is an A1: I already had an A1 but this card should be fully working. Lots of rework on this card. In my current testing setup I was unable to get more out of it then single chip. I hope this can be fixed with the right drivers however. I also received a voodoo volts with the cards, seen in the second picture. This one was very well preserved in all those years, not a scratch on it. Finally I have one with the testing stickers :) Current V5 6000 collection: And one more cool detail, many of my cards have the lab number 5, incredible coincidence: |

Thanks for the kind words guys :) I'm honored you like them
I've come a long way to get here and it's still far from done. Oscar, ofcourse I will keep you updated. My current setup was using the amigamerlin 3.0 driver under XP. I was already suprised the A1 booted fine to windows and accepted the driver in the first place. However no 3d games in SLI, just single chip. The screen just stays black in SLI or one of the AA modes. However Hank told me he had a bunch of older driver including ones that where written in the times 3dfx still used the intel bridge. Maybe I can get my hands on them and test again. What driver did you use in your setup while testing your A1? Meanwhile, check out the awesome rework they've done on this A2: |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by omega_supreme on 07.11.08 at 10:10:04
Good news Oscar!
Arey you using the official driver from 3dfx? I think it's the driver that is causing the trouble not really the games. Anyway, I used Quake3, Unreal Tournament and Blood2: The Chosen (all demo's) for testing. All thee using their native API: OpenGL for Quake, Glide for UT and D3D for Blood. You could try them and see if you get the intel to run them in sli (fastest performance). I also received the older napalm drivers for w9x from Gary yesterday. I'm going to try those first this weekend. If that fails I'll whipe the driver and try w2K. Can you also remember what driver you where using in XP? So far I only tried one driver and only in XP so there is a good chance there could be a driver out there for XP that is compatible with the intel bridge. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by osckhar on 07.11.08 at 11:51:24
Hello Tom,
I am using the reference driver dated 08/11/2000 v1.04.00 for Windows 2000. I have installed 3DMark2001SE, Quake III aren (demo) and UT (demo). Now I am downloading the Blood2 (demo) too. Right now, I did some fast 3DMark2001SE test: - Single Chip / ok. - Fastest Performance / 3560Points. - 2xFSAA / SLI problems. Screen splited in 2 half - 4xFSAA / 1650Points - 8xFSAA / 1650Points. ps. If U want we can open another thread. ps2. Intel V6k works with all old drivers. Quote:
Go for old drivers. I tried the card under windows xp with the vers. 5.00.2195.0232. Regards, Oscar. |

And another card courtesy of FalconFly. It boots-up ok but the image is blue/green in color.
Here is a rework on the RAMDAC that is somewhat of a fix in the sense that the colors are towards pink if the two pins are no longer joined. Would be nice if could find some tech docs on v3 cards maybe there's fix for this somewhere ::) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by osckhar on 14.12.08 at 23:06:20
Nice picture.
Just I dont understand why the card has such problem in 2D engine. It seems a problem with the tsop sdram or perhaps it has a corrupte bios. ps. I never tried the card with 3D games. Did you try it? Oscar. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by gdonovan on 15.12.08 at 12:21:23
I'll see if I can find the bios, should be the same as regular 4500 though.

New toy came in yesterday.
Its a 3700A but with 2 extra capacitors (C15 / C17). Those capacitors are used in the rev 3400 A3 and 3900A, but normally the 3700A comes without them. Oscar. |

That's just brilliant Oshkar, you must be the second "most V56K's" owner in the world by now. :D
Very interesting configuration on the board, what exactly do those caps improve? More stable voltage delivery? |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by exxe on 23.01.09 at 20:23:10
like osckhar says
normaly a 3700a dont have them but the 3400 and 3900 boards have them 3dfx try many things to get this beast to a stable run c15 and c17 are the wrong way but search the error on the PSU was a nice try::) |

Factory born, the only 32mb one with this PCB. There is a bunch of 16mb boards that 3dfx sold to IBM for *unix servers or terminals but they don't play nice with most PC based hardware. The 16mb board will work with just one motherboard I have here out of a dozen or so and it's an old 200mmx unit with TX chipset. I'll keep an eye out for a backside pic, can't find it at the moment. |

Interesting card the 32mb Daytona it's surprising since at that time 8-16mb Ati chips were usually chosen for servers and in the case of Unix machines for the GUI 32mb was too much but still... |

Yes the same PCB. There are some other differences too like an extra voltage regulator and I assume other board level changes (strapping perhaps?) I just know the IBM board will work in about nothing even with the 32MB bios but the 32mb card works in everthing. |

True. If Chip_Select signaling is not hardware locked, as it is with Voodoo4 PCI, one would only need to solder extra memory chips on the empty places on the PCD of a Daytona and adjust the BIOS to use the CS1 bank... and a 32Mb VSA101 card should be born. The 64Mb (or 128Mb) card would be alot harder to resolve and I know no other method to do it excluding removing the GPU out of a sacrifice-board to study the pinout. I would never, never do that on a functional Daytona (or Voodoo5 6000 or AAlchemy). I find it so hard to kill one somehow common Voodoo5 PCI for the future good! Still, I dream that someday I will be able to add more RAM to a VSA101 card... Funny that I write that right after I finished soldering two 16Mb chips on one of your Voodoo5 cards... Sorry, friends, for the off-topic. |

Not killing one for the memory modules but for finding out where are the solder points for the extra traces are for higher capacity memory modules if any. No nvidia card can provide that ;) Like in the case of the v5 pci... one must die for others to be modded :'( |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by exxe on 26.01.09 at 21:46:50
why one must die?
just try the same shots on the back of the GPU like on the AGP and look its working |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Thandor on 28.01.09 at 22:24:20
Never saw one :). The normal Voodoo4 actually says 'A' instead of A# or a number. Not sure what the revision of the brown V4's is? Maybe Gary can tell us.
The picture on the back of the V4 4500PCI box looks photoshopped to me. It just looks like the DVI and TV-Out parts weren't installed but someone (partly) removed the empty traces. |

Time to mix it up a little around here. I ended up with an extra low-profile mATX case and then....well....idle hands are the Devil's workshop [smiley=evil.gif] The end result is a one-of-a-kind low-profile Voodoo 4 HTPC connected to my 52" Sony LCD TV (via VGA port) for big screen 3Dfx gaming ;D
- Windows XP Pro - PIII 1.4ghz Tualatin - Gigibyte mATX Mobo (Intel 815 chipset) - 512 mb PC133 SDRAM - Evilking Voodoo 4 4500 L-shaped card (w/XFX low-profile bracket) - Rosewell SATAI controller card - Soyo USB 2.0 expansion card - 160 GB SATA HD - ASUS SATA DVD-RW - Ydata 3.5" Floppy Drive/Card reader |

Very nice home theater setup!
I'm still running a Shuttle SFF PC for a HTPC, just could not find a HTPC case that had what I was looking for. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by razrx on 08.02.09 at 20:30:50
Very nice Sigtau! I like your setup. :)
@gdonovan - Have you seeng the Silverstone lineup of HTPC cases? They are sweet. Also, Coolermaster has some nice ones too. I am in the process of building an HTPC with a Coolermaster CM Media 282 case. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by sigtau on 09.02.09 at 01:57:39
Thanks for the compliments guys. It was a fun little project and ended up being a pretty cool rig for Glide gaming.
My real HTPC is on the lower left side of the photo. I searched high and low for a good HTPC case that didn't look like a cheap POS. I ended up dropping $460 on the Thermaltake DH102 case w/7" touch screen. The screen acts like a second monitor. It's a really nice looking case from the front and fits in very well with the rest of the AV gear I have. It's basically a $65 case with a $400 face on it. It's also the same width as normal AV equipment and it still allows a full ATX mobo to fit...barely. The case is very tight and I'm just finally getting the cooling set up right with it. To save cash, I ended up transplanting my main PC guts into this case. I'm running a Quad Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz (OC @ 3.0 ghz), nvidia 8800GTX, WD Velocirapter 300 GB, etc, etc in there and the temps are OK. Everything is running a little warmer than when I had the same parts in my Coolermaster CM690 case. |

Some nice cases, just not in the budget. Really, $300-$400 for a fancy desktop case? Ouch! I did just pickup a small desktop case that just might do the job, have to do a bit more research though. The Shuttle SFF system I'm using now works fine, just a matter of esthetics. Having enough CPU power to decode HDDVD or BR would be nice though...

hey Paul great to see you still around here hehe.
That Huge Nvidia beast is the rare as very hard to fince eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GTX Duo, orsay eVGA's 7900 GX2 with the core/mem speed of a 7900 GTX SLI setup [2x 7900 GTX ;) ] Cores / mem: 650Mhz / 1600mhz DDR, it scores with an Athlon64 X2 5400+ @ 6000+ 7896 points where as the 7950 GX2 does 6479 points, the 7950 GX2 runs cores / mem 500Mhz / 1200Mhz DDR. the big ATi is the ATi Radeon HD 2900 XTX PCI-E 1024 MB 512Bit GDDR4 Rev.A1 0704 Prototype, I had to sell this behemoth for 325 euro's to Tweakstone because I needed funding for my 3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI, sometimes I wish I never made this move but on the other hand it does feel good now, since my mate Niels bought the other 2900 XTX Rev.A1 0705, he lives like 6 KM from me, so for HD 2900 XTX testing it's not such a great loss after all :) here the eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GTX Duuo with my ex-V6K Rev.A 3700, just to give you an idea of it's massive size, it's PCB is literally larger than that of the V6K, with printed parts wise: The 7900 GX2 is the largest GeForce ever made size wise ;) more 2900 XTX pics go here Paul :) http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/v/3dfx_collectors/collectors_goldleader/Other-Grapics-cards/R600XTX/ |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Gold Leader on 09.03.09 at 02:07:13
hmm a Mac version is an idea only it would have to be a PCI 2.1 card or an AGP x4 card, since with the V5 age Macs had AGP x4 slots as PCI 2.1 slots, an AGP x2 card was never used afaik.
since the 5500 AGP for Mac prototype has an AGP x4 connector as well: the pic is from 3dfx.ch ;) |

|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 09.03.09 at 15:32:48
Oh it's just a normal DVI to D-Sub adaptor then? I've got one of them here.
Nice find on that 3500 btw. :) |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Gold Leader on 09.03.09 at 16:21:06
Well infact it's no normal DVI to D-Sub converter it's bigger ;)
ever compared the IO/DVI-I of the 3500 TV to that of a 4500 PCI Mac or 5500PCI Mac? The ones on the V3's are about 25% larger as width of the connector goes, this is because it was designed to transfer images as sound for the IO Pod ;) Thus the converter needed to had to fit is and bigger than a normal DVI-I to VGA convertoer, it's an IO DVI-I interface actually, so if you want to use your 3500 TV AGP without the pod you would need the 3500 TVSI AGP I showed you, because the strange thing is that that IO DVI-I to D-Sub connector can't be found sepperate. It's a chinese aftermarket design for their 3500TV SI AGP's to lessen the costs for the card. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 09.03.09 at 19:28:12
I see, I knew the size was different, but your post threw me off slightly, interesting. I might have to get me one of those adaptors. ;)

|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Gold Leader on 09.03.09 at 19:33:03
yeah, well if you need one of those adaptors get that 3500TVSI I linked ya :)
Since these connectors were only made for them cards in China only. the Si has 6ns ram the normalone has 5.5ns ram :) there are slight differences too, but you'll need a sharp eye to spot them besides the ram and the converter ;) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Eye-Q on 09.03.09 at 23:16:16
I think the adapter should work since I believe it's just a rerouting of pins for the VGA-connector.

Well most of us have a 5500 AGP right ;), the only real differences it has is the location of it's PCB date, the PCB date it's self is very early aka week 18 of year 2000 and finally it's bios is a lot older than the oldest bios known on the production cards which is the famous bios 1.06 :) Evaluation boards are the cards that were sent to the press for previews and reviews ;) Rottentreats got the Rev.A 1800 for USD 224,72 heh not bad, kinda cheap for such an ultra rare Evaluation card 8-) |

Hi Obi, it's really nice to have you back. I love your posts...a lot, really, I DO, but you know - what's too much becomes unpleasant. Take for example a song that you like very much. It's good to hear that song one time, two times, 10 times, but after a while it becomes annoying. It's been only a few days since you are back and you already have 40+ posts. That's cool ... activity here, keeping 3dfx alive and such, but still...
I know many of you will say I'm bad and I have bad manners...but it's just my opinion, I don't have anything against Obi, but each section of the forum I open, there's 4-5 posts all by Obi and a lot of double posts...same old pics, some stupid (my opinion again) links.

So for this behalf, I may post alot but at the least they are useful posts ;) Nice V2's btw, though that Evaluation board from rottentreats, the Rev.A 1800 is something very special heh, since that is something you don't see every day. And it's Gold Leader ;) |

Looks messy, I said if I (personally) did that, I wouldn't have included it, would have looked more sleek as a whole to have just the card in the casing. I don't care what others want to do, to each their own. Still looks nice. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Gold Leader on 15.03.09 at 01:41:22
Well it' belongs to the V6K even 3dfx would have slabbed a V6K + VV within the official box, since it's a part that belongs to it, okay that you find it messy does not conclude that it should not be there ::)
It does not mean that most of the V6K people would have to agree to that right :) |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by razrx on 15.03.09 at 01:43:34
I made the box how I would like it. Just like you said Tim, I don't really care if everyone approves. It works for me, so that's what counts.
The wires are all nicely tied up, hardly messy. And as far as whether or not to include the VV.... You seriously must have been joking. The VV is a part of the v6k legacy. |

That's the words of a V6K professional and I adore that, because it's just a fact , thanks razrx for telling that VV is a part that belongs to the V6K. Same as with a car, the Engine belongs to the car, because it needs it to power it's self forward and so on, so it is shipped with the package like it or not. ;D |

I never ever said it's not part of the V56K, what are you on about. I merely complimented him on a nice design. I can not see how anyone can take offense to that post of mine seriously. Like I can't have my own opinion. I don't understand what part of "if it was ME, I would have left it out of the case", I didn't say I wouldn't have it in something else, or not include it in the collection or anything like that. Just said I would perhaps think of a sleeker way to include it. You make a mountain out of a molehill of pretty much everything. |

@ Tim: My intent was to recreate the plastic insert in the VOODOO5 Series but make it so that it fits inside a V5 retail box too.
My thoughts were to house a v6k and all the accessories in a clear case. It seems to be that your thoughts on putting a v6k inside an acrylic box would be just for the card. Correct? anyways, this is a picture thread so let's get some more pictures up! |

I didn't realise you actually wanted to make a box to fit into your retail box you made. I thought you were going to hang it on the wall or something. I was actually going to give some constructive criticism before people jumped down my throat! I thought, maybe you can make an extra compartment, right next to it, with the adaptor placed vertically, I think it's a great idea, but in my humble opinion, it would look even better if the card would hover right in the center of the box, and to the right, you would have the Voodoo Volts vertically mounted in its own compartment. I thought that would look nice. Never meant to criticise or anything like that, I like it a lot! Take note Gold Leader, that's the last thing I will say to you, you really need to check yourself sometimes. |

Just as a different shot, as by comparing to the smallest of the V5 range with the smallest of the Specter range, this would be nice :) |

Title: 3dfx Airlines - Get Voodoo. - A 3dfx Tribute. Post by rottentreats on 07.01.10 at 04:09:40
Hi all
Today Gold Leader (a great friend of mine) and I came to the idea of making a skin for a 3dfx airliner for a B744 aka Boing 747-400 for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition. I came up with the idea of the color scheme with the 3dfx house colors white, black, and orange. He came with the idea to give it the Get Voodoo. slogan on it's sides and the mini 3dfx logo's on it's engines so here's the result! Gold Leader flew the plane btw, that big island in the distance is Sint Maarten. This is Gold Leader's and my little tribute for good ole 3dfx ;) Here are some shots Gold Leader made made in DX10 mode with SLI AA x32 + AF x16 on his Quad SLI GTX 295 Red Edition Setup. Here some more shots from Gold Leaders Sint Maarten tour he did :) [/quote] |

Maybe if M$ would have picked 3dfx instead of nVidia, this is what the logo would have looked like. |

I don't think it's the original cable - I saw it at a "garage sale" and I couldn't resist - I didn't even know if the cable will fit - but it's a perfect match ;D

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 30.01.10 at 14:57:15
I just had a look at my S-12 AGP cable, and it's definitely not the same cable. Mine is basically a passthrough with no extra cables attached. Difference to a normal one is ofcourse the special cable connector.

Yeah, it is quite rare as there are only 3 of them known in the hands of collectors. (to my knowledge) The great condition is a direct result of the box living its life in the plastic wrap. (where it shall continue to live) Someday in the near future I will get a group shot of every US Voodoo series box made and post it here, should look great! (and complete) |

Oh what the heck, I might as well post mine as well lol. ;D
I'm recapping my motherboard this weekend, should have it up and running soon. Card isn't functioning at the moment, but cause is suspected. Repairs shouldn't be a problem if it is that (I hope! lol). The board came from a 3dfx lead engineer. Oscar knew him and facilitated the deal! Many thanks goes out to him! ps. Pictures don't show the engineering tag but is present. More on this later. Main priority is getting it up and running. This is how the board arrived, with severe burn marks around CR3/CR4. A lot of cleaning up, including a good clean of the entire PCB, front and back and here she is, looking a lot better. Amazingly clean PCB as well, not a scratch. |

V5-6000 3700 A:
This sample comes of a 3Dfx's Engineer QA Team from USA. It's fully functional without Hank's rework- it does not has any lock up working at 4/8xFSAA. Engineering tag shows "lock 3dmark fail" but I have tested it under 3DMark2001SE without any trouble as well tag show flash bios 1.16 but it comes with 1.06. Funny thing- It has been my first deal where I did not need to talk on English to close it because seller knows Spanish very well. I never had seen a 3700 A with a rework next to Hint bridge. Oscar. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by NitroX infinity on 11.02.10 at 17:53:16
Nice card.
I think the 'lock 3dmark fail' refers to an earlier version of 3DMark (2000 or 99). |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 11.02.10 at 18:43:19

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by rottentreats on 20.04.10 at 13:46:23
I got the set off eBay some time ago. (10/12/07) They only cost me $14.95, but have been sitting in a box for a few years. Just now found them, I actually forgot about them. :)
I started going through all my 3dfx related things preparing for my sale that is upcoming soon. Most of my stuff will be seen on eBay. (unless deals are made outside) It will consist of various 3dfx/Q3D cards/boxes/misc items. Here is a picture I took over a year ago. Long story short, I went a little crazy when it came to collecting the boxes. I have no need for this many boxes. (sad thing is I probably have 10 or so more than in the picture) |

Yeah, I had wondered what copyright violations would there be if I posted high quality scans....
Also, if scanning older hardware magazines are ok to do, it would be cool to have a "3dfx magazine scan thread" with only magazine scans regarding 3dfx hardware. I'm sure that scanning 3dfx's Voodoo magazine would be a must scan and probably be ok. |

Updated pic as of 4/25/2010. [click for larger image] So there are only a few more than the last time I updated. This is truly ridiculous. Soon it will be time to go through them, and decide which go, and which stay. (I am thinking of keeping 2 of each, if possible one sealed, and one open for fragging with) Many of you will see them on your local eBay. (unless deals are made outside, which I am sure they will) PM me with offers. |

Some of us 3dfx collectors need to get a Mac system. I know I've seen PC to Mac flashing tools and other toys for the Mac.
Might be a useful machine. I also want to pick up one for learning the Mac OS for troubleshooting purposes. |

I know what you mean and I agree it would be useful since I have several MAC only video cards in my collection that I'm uncertain if they work properly. For me testing them, playing some of my favorite classic games is half the fun. The problem in my case is that in my neck of the woods Mac systems have only recently started to become popular and the old models like a G3 that would be perfect for this task, aren't to be found and from abroad it would be too expensive on the shipping side I recon. For now it only looks nice in my display case :) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 16.10.10 at 11:46:45
You could ofcourse buy a G3 motherboard/processor/ram and just forget about the case, and use it as a open air test platform.

That could work but I do like to have everything enclosed in a case to just put it to work when I need it not just for some quick tests. But this hasn't been a priority for me so I haven't searched much for Mac parts to build a test rig. Since we're on the Mac and pictures topic here are the same Paloma and Pablo modules on a different VillageTronic card the MP850 thou I liked them better on the MP540 what do you guys think? |
|
Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 16.10.10 at 18:35:40
It's a bit embarrassing, but I've never actually read up on the Mac configurations. I know the 540 is a non 3dfx Cirrus Logic 2D board, with the original Voodoo as an 3D overdrive piggy-back board.
What are the Pablo & MacPaloma Plus? I gather the MacPaloma is a TV-Tuner? What's the Pablo? MPEG acceleration chip? Must be pretty rare then Gino? It does look very very awesome indeed. :) |

Well there's no shame in that. We learn things as we go along depending on individual interests. Regarding the Mac cards I think exxe has a very nice overview on his web-page about them. Also on the internet you can find some nice reviews like these one: http://legacy.macnn.com/thereview/reviews/macpicasso540/macpicasso540.shtml http://legacy.macnn.com/thereview/reviews/3doverdrive/3doverdrive.shtml These additional modules Pablo and are somewhat rare but for me these even more hard to find given the fact I wasn't even looking for them locally but I did with help from another collector friend of mine. I collect these VillageTonic cards because they really stand out as pcb layout and colors from other 3dfx cards but as stated before I'd like to find out for myself how they perform. Great photos from exxe as always. :) |

The game unplayable. 5-12 fps. And test with Pentium 60. The game playable!! Not move the fps <25. The Pentium very large hop by 486 or overdrive architechture. |

Lol a FX Slot one board. Very few of those were produced and fewer still that still survive as they were mainly limited to the socket 8 Pentium Pro. Interesting thing is that there is another FX Intel chipset that was for the socket5/7 era boards. I am curious as to why people don't spot this? Still wanting that DDR socket370/slot1/slot2 supported board by MICRON/Samsung I think.

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 03.11.10 at 11:15:29 For me personally, I've openend a few rare boxes. It's the age old, "what should I do with my vintage Ferrari", should I put it in a museum and only look at it, or actually use it? Yes it's going to decrease in value, but then again, you won't have any fun out of it. If you actually know what is in it, and other people have pictures of it already, you might decide to leave it sealed. Most likely it will just be the card and a driver CD, packed in some foam. I don't think OEM boxes usually come with much or any documentation. |

Thank you for the advice TIM. Well for me this item isn't very interesting in sealed form as there isn't much too look at, as it's just a white box with a sticker. I still have a retail sealed Hercules Rush that I will keep intact as the box looks nice but I'm tempted to open up the OEM one as I'm curious about the exact accessories and I haven't seen one like it opened before so I hope it will be something nice inside :) |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Tim on 04.11.10 at 00:42:07

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by G1nX on 05.11.10 at 20:26:25
Yes I wanted to open it up out of curiosity to confirm my suspicions about the content. And I'm glad I did because it looks like I was wrong and the label fooled me by the mention of AT25. Inside as you can see bellow is a Hercules AT3D 6Mb Dual Planar with a CD that is dated 1999. So I guess Hercules still had a lot of these cards in stock and decided to sell them off cheaply in a time when V3s were entering the market.

Very nice trio you got there. I'd recommend a heat sink for the Hint bridge on the card you use regularly. It's helps keep it cool and would look nice if you find one just the right size. Cheers, G1nX |

A heatsink on my main V6K definitely would not hurt, but they run really cool as is so I am not too worried about it. I only use the very compatible Epox 8K3A+, so that also makes me feel safe. 8-) |

Thanks they are nice but for collection purposes only as I can't say I plan to test or use them in any way in the future. A V6k is more appealing for testing/using/collecting for most people. Regarding the Hint bridge cooling the small heat-sink found on Matrox G400 Max type cards should fit nicely and as you said it won't hurt :) |

The brandname and the company are the same. RealVision (the company) is owned by Deltron, AFAIK. Obviously, it depends of which RealVision we are speaking about, since there are many companies with such name. But, RealVision, the card's manifacturer actually is part of Deltron tech. |

If the memory comes from a single sided 12MB card it should be 1MB, but the datasheet is different:
http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheets/150/502544_DS.pdf In case someone doesn't know: 256k x 16 => 4096k / 8 => 512kB |

Is it just me or does the 2nd V5 6k from the bottom up actually looks shorter?? The right side is inline with the rest, but the left side isn't, while the other cards are. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by NitroX infinity on 08.05.12 at 15:57:20
Bottom card is higher because it has a big cooler on the back. The second card from the bottom is also positioned a bit to the right.
In other words, optical illusion ;) |

CRAZY to think it's been ~2 years since I have powered up my baby... how time flies when you grow up. Selling off a lot of my collection this is something that I will tell you, with out a doubt, for crappity smacking ever that I will NOT sell my last full virgin V56K.
Can't really see it but I made a new molex-to-1pin cable for my V56K. Routed the cable nicely so it goes back in the case and connects to a molex without much notice. :) I used the Voodoo Volts for awhile but I just don't feel right doing that for extended amounts of time. SO MUCH FUN!!!! My office is coming along but has a lot of tweaking to do. Second to 3dfx is my Cerwin-Vega! speakers and collection. It has begun! (note the LS-12 on the right had a blown tweeter that I will be replacing tomorrrow) YEAH! :) ! :) ! :) |

that is really strange, I wonder what card this was supposed to become if they were indeed 3DFX cards.
I don't see the logo of 3DFX anywhere, just the 1999 3DFX etc etc. it looks to be 1 clean cut pcb, so......only 3dfx cards that come close in length are the Rush cards, which were pci only and the 6000, but that is a lot higher in regards to the pcb itself.....really strange |

Not so strange when you think that 3dfx bought STB a company that had sold cards with chips from different manufactures. I think they had the design ready when they were bought by 3dfx and that was follow on to the larger sandwich design which they had sold previously: http://www.vgamuseum.info/images/stories/vlask/nvidia/mvppro1281s.jpg Not all STB products had the logo on them and this follows that model with only 1999 3dfx Interactive mentioned. Do no compare this card to 3dfx powered cards like Rush instead look at STB and previous models. The PC bridge chip that this quad nvidia card has is the same as the one found on early Intel V5 6000 cards. See here a comparison: http://users.atw.hu/3dfxcollection/cards/pic_1600/mvp_front.jpg http://3dfx.weppel.nl/3dfxpics/3dfx%20Voodoo%205%206000%20AGP%20Rework%203.jpg Cheers, G1nX |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by ultima on 19.11.13 at 15:55:27
I know 3DFX bought STB, but if it is a previous STB design, as you showed, why would there be 3DFX printed on there?
The only reason for that could be that 3DFX had plan with the pcb for other chips, maybe a single PCB voodoo2? voodoo3 SLI? there is no reason why 3DFX would be printed on the card, if 3DFX would've been acquired by STB it could make sense, this just seems like s funny prank from STB, or did 3DFX also sell nvidia based cards? |

Indeed, Avenger based cards have STB prints on the PCB (although 3dfx logo on the rear was added anyway). My theory: If you buy a big company, probably you'll have still to follow out orders of the company you have just acquired (hey I had a deja-voodoo here...). It's possible that those quad-riva128 cards (Enseo MVP Pro SE) had been commissioned to STB while STB was acquired from 3dfx. Then 3dfx/STB hybrid immediately started the Voodoo3 production line in 1999, thanks to STB production plants. Between 1999 and 2000, the STB brand disappears completely and sort out the order for Enseo formally under 3dfx Interactive name since in the meanwhile STB palnts were "upgraded" already to 3dfx plants. From that point onwards, every product will have 3dfx Interactive prints on it, just like Napalm production that have the 2000 3dfx Interactive prints. If this theory is more or less correct, could be others weird cards made by 3dfx. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by ultima on 19.11.13 at 18:23:16
That does sound logical and to that end, one would only have to look for cards made by companies that have been acquired by 3dfx.

I agree that these weren't the best performing or very appreciated by the market back then but they're are more interesting from a collector's point of view. To me it always seemed strange that Orchid and Diamond who were the first to sell Voodoo1 based cards didn't have a Voodoo Rush offering on the market. Finding these prototypes is proof that they did have a go at it but this would've impacted the sales of their separate 2D cards so that might be a reason why they didn't market them in the end. Unfortunately the cards are so early that standard drives don't work so I can't test their performance. |

Title: Re: 3dfx pictures thread Post by Thandor on 16.01.17 at 12:16:39
Are the drivers able to detect the card? If not then try reading the hardware ID's (DEV_ID, VEN_ID) and manually add them to the driver .INF.
