3dfx boxart scans
27.05.05 at 23:46:54
 
I'm making desktop wallpapers from time to time, so i'm looking for good quality 3dfx boxart scans of these cards:
- voodoo5 5500 pci (blue-magneta)
- voodoo4 4500 mac (pink)
- voodoomac 5500 (blue-green)
- voodoo3 3000 pci (red)
of course i'm also interested in other retailer boxes, like asus v3 boxart version and powercolor evilking series.

There is a favorite of mine that I would like to see made into a desktop wallpaper. let me find a link...

Gary has it, be sure to get his permission first if you use his.

Look about midway down the page, it is the one that looks like a brown box being torn open and the voodoo eyes looking out.

Isn't it great when you feel you had lost something forever years ago, and then out of nowhere, you manage to find them again ...  Smiley

I thought I would never get the chance to have the original V3 series wallpapers from the 3dfx site in Bitmap format ever again.

I remember back in 1999, downloading them and keeping hold of them.  But not long after the 3dfx site closed down, I lost them from my storage and never thought I'd get them back.

I was rooting through the back of one of my cupboards the other day when I came across an old CD-RW that I used to keep backups of my favourite files.  Not having the slightest idea if there was anything on it (I thought it would have been wiped) I loaded it in and there they were!  The original 3 wallpapers in Bitmap format!  Smiley

@R21vo - I don't know if they will be of any advantage to you, but if you would like them, let me know.

I prefer these to the JPEG conversions that people have made over the years from the originals as it gives me more flexibility over using them for new designs while keeping uncompressed quality that's all!

I'd be happy to make a few very high quaility shots of the box for wallpaper use.

Bare in mind, these are the original 1024x768 Bitmap format images, not the 800x600 JPEG conversions.  They are around 2.25Mb each.

I remember 3dfx giving you a choice between the two resolutions to download, yet fans converted them to JPEG for more space and faster web use.
