Reply #60 - 19.08.04 at 20:24:53 wow Voodude, I see you're one of those who made 3dfx what it was (is?)! background story was great! I'd love to hear some more! Do you still have some artworks/software stuff of 3dfx what isn't available on net? It would be great to release them to public

Voodude

As you are an ex 3dfx engineer, can you please answer some technical questions for us ?

The Voodoo5 6000 was presented with a PC played Quake3 @ gorgous 2048x1536 resoultion !!!!

But nowaday none of the Voodoo5 6000 owner can play Quake3 in that resulition. Have you had used a special pragammed 3dfx driver ? Or can you still remember what driver revision was that ? If it was a special 3dfx driver, can you help by finding /releasing that driver thorugh your ex 3dfx engineer connections ?

No NitroX, I never even seen one though it would be nice to have.

R21vo, I had a few unusual pics but a recent hard drive crash took most of them. I do have a DVD quality copy MPEG2 version of the 3 TV commercials. I lost my copy here in the hard drive crash but I have it backed up at work. It's about 250 megs I think. If someone has an FTP site I could post it to, I'd be happy to upload it for you in the next couple of days. It's the actual MPEG video that was used by 3dfx at trade shows. I posted it at x-3dfx.com not long ago so some of you may already have it.

sloomy, I was a was a Field Application Engineer which means that I installed and supported our products at customer sites. A software/hardware engineer I am not, sorry. As far as the Quake resolutions, I have no idea what was used.

I'll dig around and see if I can find some other pics and stuff.

Later,
-Tony

That would be great Voodude! I would love to get my hands on those 3 3dfx commercials. Hope you find some rare pic's for us 3dfx collectors. Grin

Hopfully FalconFly has the space so you can upload the commercials for us. It would only be a temperary download. Happy

I can convert them to HQ Xvid. Wink

It would be very very very very great!!!! I guess Falconfy has enough resources for distributing those files?

Maybe you know and can tell us some background info about making 3dfx cards (who and how made the prototypes, what were main problems and how they were solved, etc, etc)?
Also maybe you know something more about making Rampage, Fear, Mojo ?

hehehe a 24" is rather huge man, I'm already glad with my EIZO T662-T 21".

Okay it may be 4 years old, but hey it does 1600x1200x32 @ 85 herz, which is enough, it's max reso is 1920 x 1200 x32 @ 60 herz. that's a 10:9 ratio I think , yet i may be mistakenn, anyway 21" is also big, my old monitor was a CTX VL500 15" LOL Grin

well I recieved a strange ATi card today. okay it's not 3dfx but it has two cores, it date somewhere in the Riva TNT2 era. here it is:

ATi RAGE FURY MAXX 64MB

What I want to know is, is this the first dual chip Sli ever made, because it is older than the Voodoo5 5500 and 6000 cards. So I suppose that dual chip Sli come from ATi. funny though...

If anyone knows something please let me know, would be nice Wink

Anyway I got it for 47 Euro's that's included postal services. normally the card was 35 Euro's.

Friendly Regards,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

as far as i know ATi used thier own technology for Rage Fury Maxx, but it had some problems which is why those were only ATi multichip cards (at least official).
Maybe Rage Fury Maxx was the first mainstream multichip card (more that 1 chip on one card), but I doubt it was the first ever, because we don't know what did happen then in 3dfx labs and what did quantum3d in it's labs..
