Title: sli and voodoo5 agp/pci
Post by visiteur on 06.12.08 at 10:59:43
Hello
i wonder if it possible, with an voodoo5 PCI and an other in AGP to link them with SLI?
Thanks

No. You can't link 2 V5 in SLI, not even if they are both PCI.

That is not possible, as the Voodoo5 retail cards do not have any means or preparation to act in SLI with other VSA-100 retail cards.

The only solution (apart from a Voodoo5 6000) is a Quantum3D Aalchemy System, which was designed to afford scalable SLI in higher numbers.

Even if it worked technically, the AGP upstream- and PCI general bandwidth would not suffice by far to allow any reasonable SLI performance.

-- edit --

too slow ;)

Hello

AAlchemy have only openGL and Glide drivers
so no D3D game will run on it

but quake3 works fine
