3dfx Power Supply?
10.09.09 at 06:39:09

Hey!, I'm from Argentina and I saw at the local e-Bay alike web page (MercadoLibre) a guy that sells a 3dfx 500W Power Supply. I'm really surprised because the box has printed the newer 3dfx logo on it what it makes it look more real. Did you know about 3fdx producing power supplies?. And if it's a 500W it should have no more than 2 years old. Here's the link (in spanish): http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-58205236-fuente-atx-24pin-3dfx-500w-real...

Reply #1 - 10.09.09 at 06:40:42 I've asked the seller if they trully are 3dfx brand ones and he/she has replied that "for the way it looks like, it's a 3dfx one. The product is excellent". . Is it possible?.

Reply #7 - 13.09.09 at 17:56:24 Except for several Compaq systems that have a proprietary 24-pin 'ATX' (with different layout and thus incompatible with the normal 24-pin ATX) connector . You could get those systems in 1999 or 2000 if I remember correctly.

Auction says:

24pin ATX connector, SATA plug and 12

0

mm fan. There were no PSU with these specs in 2000, and SATA standard was born in 2003.

Sticker on PSU says that unit have 500W output power. There were no reasons to design PSU like this back in 2000. Also, sticker says that unit is compatible with ATX 2.03 standard. ATX 2.01 was released in 2004. Last but not least, it is Made In China...3dfx equipment from China? LOL!

With what's left of 3dfx, what is the company doing these days? The last thing I heard was in the spring of 2008, they lost a court decision to nVidia.
