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:

Dang, that's incredible. Very nice. \0/

Nice catch Tom!!!!

ps. Keep me informed about the Intel 1500A1 V6k. My intel card worked ok under Windows XP.

Oscar.

Just crazy.
Damn fine collection you have there

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:

@omega_supreme,
Intel V6k is ready for testing under Windows 2k.   Just let me know what games I must test.

Oscar.

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.

Go for old drivers. I tried the card under windows xp with the vers. 5.00.2195.0232.

Oscar.
