Hi there. Today I received a weird Voodoo 2 card. It's written 12MB on it, but there are only 12 memory chips total. No chips on the other side. Is what exactly is this card? (model/manufacturer)
If you're not sure, I can post pics.

The Voodoo 2-cards directly from 3dfx (V2 1000) were 12 MB with only RAM on one side, too, but they are always black: http://www.tdfx.de/ger/v2_1000.shtml

On the Powercolor-cards itself there weren't writings like Evilking, except the Banshees, they had Evilqueen written on the PCB. So your card is perfectly normal for a Powercolor Evilking 2.

Can't tell, not enough distinct markings.

Sorry, I can't get a bigger picture right now. It doesn't have an A-trend sticker, by the way.

I found out that Osckhar once had another Voodoo2 like this one. I posted the info on his forum and I'm waiting for his reply.

Concerning the v2 3.0 110mhz I'm pretty sure that ur card is a 3Dfx made one. I picked up the same card a week ago apparently they are fairly rare (as the ram comes FACTORY overclocked at 110MHz) also note the 3Dfx logo in the PCB. Hop this helps

A few things about 3dfx built V2 cards they were reference design made between end of 97 and beginning of 98 and most likely made in the USA (not Taiwan).
When the card in question was built 9902 3dfx was merging with STB and they then after released what we know as the V2 1000 that has a different pcb then the one pictured above.
The 110Mhz doesn't been it operates at that speed only that is rated for it. Normally it operates at 90Mhz as the 3dfx chips, unless the drivers installed and oc tools upped the frequency (as the V2s did not have a BIOS).
As NitroX pointed out a lot of 3dfx partners at the time did not bother building a custom pcb with their own logos on it, instead relied on the bigger manufacturers to create reference design ones for them and they just packaged them. So not a rare card just an unknown reseller. The box would've cleared or not the mystery.
