16 meg varriants were planned and were technically possible but they never were built, 4MB and 6MB versions of the Voodoo2 were only prototypes, the only ones ever built were the 8MB and 12MB configs and Quantum3D's 24MB sollution the Obsidian X24

hmm this does not come across to the orginal Reso specs of the orginal Voodoo2.

Resolution, Colors, and Refresh Rate for Graphics
512 x 384 x 64K 120Hz
640 x 480 x 64K 120Hz
800 x 600 x 64K 120Hz
1024 x 768 x 64K 85Hz

--> 1280 x 1024 x 64K 85Hz is most unlikely impossible on a Sli set and 800 x 600 x 64K aka 16 Bit is max reso for a single card.

the Reso 1024 x 768 x 16 was only possible in a SLI config but if 1280 x 1024 x 16 was possible I doubt it, never had a Voodoo2 SLi set that could do that since that 1024 x 768 x16 was the max resofor a V2 SLI set


But Man that Game set my good Lord of The Force! this thing must have cost lot's of credits to keep in mind say 600 euro's maybe 700 hehe, never seen these babies in store though.

hmmm Wicked3D 3.02 works with every 3dfx card afaiK even counting Voodoo Graphics, Voodoo Rush, Voodoo2 and Voodoo Banshee as well as Voodoo3 , 4 and 5.

But yeah looks like a Master piece to obtain as 3dfx collector 2 16Meg Voodoo2's would of been destructive, maybe 1600 x 1200 would of been possible with 2x 16MB Voodoo2's in SLi if they would ever be created.

Well, being that they were in the process to come out with a 16 meg card, is there any way to solder on different memory modules and make it work or would that be a GPU limitation or something? Just wondering. There seems to be quit alot of V2's out there to play around with if one goes bad. I'm not that good with a solder gun, and wouldn't know which memory to use anyway but someone else might. Maybe get Hanks thoughts on if the cards would even handle it. They never came out with it so it could be that they were having problems with the GPU code handling that amount of memory but it's worth a shot to find out.

16mb?

4mb frame/ z-buffer
2x 6mb Textures?

6MB is strange

Well, as Gary has mentioned before, the V2's don't have a bios so just adding more ram wouldn't just do it would it? It'd have to be at the GPU level with memory addressing or would it? The V4 was able to go from 32 megs to 64 megs including a bios change but since the V2's don't have that, what would have been the limiting factor for not getting the 16 meg versions out to the public and can this be done? A 32 meg V2 SLI rig would be sweet.

Didn't work meaning you got a dead card ? Or you got it working but still as a 12 mb card ?

Yes. OK....But how much ram did that voodoo2 reported ?  ???
