Been wondering for a long time about this. Why didn't 3dfx go for the V2 type SLI (connected through a cable) with the Napalm chips?. Wouldn't that have made things a lot easier?

Yes there is such a beast.

Hand picked VSA100 silicon, taken from fast fast corner lot. It was sorted using the single chip socket board.

-5 or -45 memory was installed on the board.

Stable frequency was 220MHz.

Aquoes got the card 4 years ago Shocked

Hank

Well a 220Mhz version hmm interesting what was it's PCB date and Revision Hank? also a Rev.A 3700 like the most we all have here?

And where does this Aquoes come freem sounds very Greek to me hehe.

So that 200Mhz V6K Rev.A 3700 may be a total different card, so maybe that there were more of these sick Green Monsters from the Gloom of 3dfx Interactive hey

I mean that thing must cost like a fortune maybe 3000 US Dollars or so!

May The Force Be With You All!

Would FSAA x2 be 1 VSA-100 with FSAA x2 and the other 3 for pure speed? 2. Would FSAA x4 be 2 VSA-100 with FSAA x2 and the other 2 for speed? 3. Would FSAA x8 bet FSAA x2 per VSA-100?

roflkopp Guest	Re: V5-6000 information wanted Reply #99 - 12.01.06 at 15:58:03 No, I think the loadbalence is much better. Imo it works just like voodoo5 5500 with double AA-Samples in T-Buffer.

V2 style SLI could only be done on PCI based VSA 100. Marketting did not like that. Also the FSB would be only 33MHz.

If you had to run AGP and PCI card in SLI you would require a redirector. each card is sitting behind a different PCI bridge and snooping function built into VSA100 would not function. You would have to copy the command streem to both cards.
