So I will keep everyone uptodate on this one as we move along. there will also be a nice sepperate album for this great project filled with Ultra High Res 7.2 MP shots, I'll make it an album filled with 3dfx glory.

My firends of the Jedi Order & The 3dfx Archives:

The Force Will Be With You ... Always,

Ben Kenobi.

Congratulation!

thanx :) if there are update on the config I will post it asap ;)

Im happy for you obi-wan, gj man

Great news obi-Wan  ;), being a 3dfx fanatic I personally would rather have a V6K over the fastest ati or nvidia card on the market today.

Someday, I to hope to experience the pleasure of owning such a rare and unique video card  ::)

Thanx BFG3dfx & Voodoo5500!

well yeah it has a much higher priority than any new card out there, just the layout of that device is quite amazing, anyways I understand the difficulties 3dfx Interactive had with designing that big green thing!

Congrates man. It's a card that most of us drool over having (well, I do at least :) ). Unfortunately (?) (sorry for the spelling, been drinking), fundage on such a card is sometimes out of the pocket book range, so it's always nice to see someone else's dream coming true with acquiring such a card. Again, congrates man.

Obi-Wan, is that a serial mouse¿ What OS you running¿ Win95c would be a nice configuration with a Voodoo 5 6K. I'd remove that wallpaper, that will significantly reduce system performance.

You finally got it! Oby-Wan_Kenoby is happy, one of his dreams has just come true!

Congratulations!

congratulation,Obi-Wan_Kenobi!

very very good to receive a v5 6k...is that 3700a?

can you give us some pics of your card?

well the card is like I said not here yet but it will be next week ;) and yes there will be a seprate album for it also, it's a Rev.A 3700 with something extra ;)

I'll kep this place updated.

@ nemisis


read my first post carefully and you will see what OS I use ;) and no I will not need to remove that Wall Paper it's an AthlonXP 2700+ with 1.5GB of ram  that background is a very special memorial to a very good friend of mine: Gary Donovan from USA ;)

Congrats Obi_Wan, looking forward to seeing your V5-6k System  up&running :)

@ Nemisis grrr

Thats Windows 2000 Professional USA + Service Pack 4 from my work and yes it's mine, listen here matey stop asking n00by questions , you are being an anoy'n P.O.S.  >:(

@ FalconFly,

hey Yeah sure thang this card is gonna be a strong backbone for my Flight Simulator 2002 PC :)

I hope that 1536MB of ram would be perfect for flying @ 1600 x 1200 x32 reso's  ;D anyways the 6K was meant for FS 2002 & the Boeing 747-412 :) BTW they both have 4 engines right :)

I'm willing to make lot's of nice and juicy pics and I'm willing to test the latest Drivers and software on it also, so if there's something that needs to be tested just give me a call ;)

Congrats @Obi_Wan - lots of inside shots too please! ;)

will do Paul norries mate hehe, next week it's time to party I'm also think'n of a video with some dance trance in it to make the party complete :)

the pics will be shot  @  7.2 Mega Pixels :) and the film will be 15 mins long maybe 20 hehe I will see how I will do that .

Hey obiwan i hope thats a registered version of win2k mate, you could get in some serious doodoo for ripping corporate software, personally i dont know why you didnt stick with win 98, its native 3dfx os bro.

I don't know if it's the same person, but they both seriously remind me of The Doctor's Incredibly More Advanced Linux Kernel "Crunch"© style of post.

And it's none of "your" business whether he's running an OS installed from a burned CD anyway, he's aware of what he's doing.

Tr00
Anyway getting a copy of original licensed windows it's not a problem using ebay, in the matter of fact my university has some sort of collaboration with microsoft slovenia so we get all the latest microsoft products for free :) (with separate licences for everyone) students only of course.

btw lol I have better kernel config than u mwahah

The important thing is that Obi's system works so ppl can pirate obi's quad vsa-100 as much as they wish to... if they can

yeah thanx, I sent the Admin a note about that user, he may be a spammer.

What's the point? It's not my kernel, and this comment is more on their side that on our, I'm trying to avoid problems like when the Doctor was here, not trying to show off linux kernels and make a competition...

Hi, your some-what friendly till annoyed admin here.

Is there a problem in this thread? It seems to be heading off course.

LMK

Thanks.

Hi Gary I know it's the Sith.

I PM'ed FalconFly, but norries it will get better this week :)

Sorry for the out-topic[full stop]

Well, our Guest checks out as 'okay' concerning older candidates, but still he should be *cough* more careful making Accusations against other Forum members *hint* .

Norries Lux it ain't you my firend, it's just the Sith order muck'n around.

Anyways Descent3 is ready for testing, I wonder if a Voodoo5 6000 can pull that game @ 1600 x 1200 x16 @ Glide with FSAA x2 :) I really hope I can find that out this week :)

I really hope the seller did make a perfect parcel for your 6000, it would be a disaster if it was damaged!

norries he's a Jedi Master and I trust him very well ;)

Well My friends my card is still in the Forign Customs and I made a all and it should arrive later this week it passed inspection and so on and yes it's very buisy and so on because of the X-Mas Period, I told the man of the Forign Customs that that wasn't my main degree, but I did Understand him as he did understand how I felt.

but anyways all is fine, here are some pics of my card when it was in testing @ Gary's place , just a fine taste of this new Rev.A 3700 unit, and yes it's Combat Ready ;)

For programming of the Xilinx chip.

ah okay, i always wondered that :) but what is the Xilinx chip for? is that for the VoodooVolts support or something totally different?

Xilinx controlls:
1) Drives individual Resets for 4 VSA100
2) Drives 14MHz reference clock for VSA100
3) Drives 14MHz reference clock to Display PLL ICS chip
4) Monitors 12V power and 3.3V power

Hank

ah okay Thanx Hank also for your great work and support the world would of been alot more complicated if you wern't around ;)

The Force Is Truely Powerfull In You, I can Sense that ;)

BTW The V6K is up and Runn'n :)

here a nice proof :)

@ Obi-Wan,

Excellent man, I'm so happy for ya, and envious  ;)

Thanx Voodoo5500 :) when you get one you may carry the name Voodoo6000 ;)

uhm I had a question and that recalls:

Now I see that the Voodoo5 6000 can support Single chip and Quad chip and FSAA modes X2 x4 and X8.

What about FSAA x6 and Dual Chip mode is this theoreticly a possibillity? If So would a new driver be needed or also a special Bios?

Friendly Regards,

Jedi Master,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I think support for 6xAA would be a much bigger problem then dualchip rendering.

Each chip would have to render 1,5 FSAA samples, which is impossible, imo.

And I also don't think, thats possible to efficiently share rendering load betweegn 2 VSA100 which render (2x)2AA samples and other 2 VSA100 which only have to provide (2x)1 AA samples.

But you may use coulourless fsaaselector to change aa samplepositions. So you can built a 6xSGAA sample pattern at the cost of 8xAA (2 unused samples)...  ;)

oh well it maybe possible who knows :)

anyways here's my 6K in action people!

And btw speaking about u selling the whole collection... I think this completly renews the 3dfx spirit at ur place

it sure did St4r4m4m4 8)

it actually began with the Velocity 200 hehe that card gave me the idea that the Prototype section is very interesting :)

and a Voodoo5 6000 was always on my plans well everyone noticed that hehe, first there was that moment wher e I could of recieved one for free but I was goofed there that was  atrick, that is something I will never forget, just a lame joke by some arsehole and the thing witht the Voodoo5 6000 Rev.A3 3400, also was a knock off that one went from eexpensive to unpayable

well the Rev.A 3700 is like Heaven and thanx to everyone in this great forum for helping me stay on the light side and very special thanx go to the Administrator --> Gary S. Donovan and new user Hank Semenec for the great effort and care of my card.

well all has come to it's place here, now I will take a long rest and play with the Rev.A 3700 for some time :)
