Title: 4116 update
Post by gdonovan on 25.07.06 at 03:27:16

You can see the four heatsinks I attached to the faces of the Voodoo 3 chips, they will be cooled by a large case fan installed in the next PCI slot.

Using the markings from the other 4116 in circulation I have attached 4 ground connections via a molex connector. The two yellow wires are 3.3V feeds taken from pin 11 of the ATX extention cable.

The final two feeds are 2.6V, I'm working on a regulated source now and will post the results when I cobble something together.

Would be interesting to see if this thing performs at single v3 Speed with free FSAA, or if there is some "performance" mode giving you the speed of four v3's..

It's probably built for free FSAA like the Mercury and the AAlchemy. Quantum3D was all about IQ.

@NitroX infinity

Yeah I mis-spoke (again), all the more reason I believe it's built for IQ and not speed.

Off-topic; The Mercury system cap module I think says "AAlchemy" on it ???
