??? Hello all bit of a daft question this but I bought a box of various components off the net, and inside was a 3DFX card. However, I can see no manufacturers name, or model number anywhere. In fact it was only the 3DFX logo that gave me any info at all. My qustion is this: how the hell do I find out what type of card this is so that I can get drivers for it, and give it to my m8 who doesnt even have 3D capabilities ???

Post the following info along with the description: -

1. Serial No.'s

2. Model No.'s

3. I.D. No's

In fact ANY sort of numbers printed on the circuit of the card! ;D

Oh and if you have a digicam, maybe a picture? ???

Nuff said! 8)

Or, it the card is already in a computer, you're using windows, and it doesn't have both a monitor-in and monitor-out port, you can do this:

From a DOS prompt, type DEBUG and press Enter or...
- go to Start, Run, type in DEBUG and click OK
- a single dash will appear, type DC000:35 and press Enter
- your video card model description will appear on the right side of the screen (model and BIOS, sometimes the memory & core/memory clock speeds)

To exist from Debug, press Q at the dash and press Enter.

The Card is probably not in a computer and "debug" works only if the card owns a bios so if this card is a Voodoo 1 or 2...

And if it's a V1 or V2, it will have both a monitor-in and monitor-out port...

EDIT: Ah, misunderstood your first post, I assumed by "box" you mean a computer (lingo), you meant a physical box. Well then, physical description's probably the best way.

:o Sorry folks usin a m8's net connection, don't have the card with me, but I will take a photo and post it with as much info as I can muster a.s.a.p cheers for your patience :)
