1) 8MB, nice :)
2) Winner 2000AVI/3D-2 <- 2? As in, there was also a 1? Perhaps a Voodoo Graphics or a 4/6MB Voodoo Rush?

Nice find!

Amazing, I didn#t know, that elsa made Voodoo Cards before the banshee :o Are there any other older elsa voodoos?
btw, the winner2000avi/3d was a S3 based board. VERY interesting, that they named the rush board winner 2000/3d-2 ;D

Well...

The board itself is made by Cardexpert/Gainward, the FCC-ID in the upper right corner of the front shot says clearly "ICUVGA-GW707".
I don't know why a different FCC-ID is on the sticker but I know that the card is definitely a Cardexpert/Gainward.

AFAIK all 3dfx 2theMax cards were built by Gainward. So thats nothing special. But I would wonder when ELSA would sell cards that they didn't build by themselves. They even did own layouts (different from the refence-boards) for the almost every chip until late Geforce2 time.
Furthermore, if they really sold such a "crappy" chip like the voodoo rush, why didn't they sell voodoo2's? The only other known ELSA 3dfx board is a banshee..
