Title: Pure 3D 3dfx Card
Post by janskjaer on 05.01.04 at 11:56:49

Anyone ever heard of this card? ???

Quote:

PURE 3D Voodoo based Graphics card 3DFX, a card that is now getting hard to find, still great 12MB Memory.

This card has a Monitor /S-Video and C-Video output and needs an existing 2D card to work with, this is an accelerator card, not a stand alone card. It is PCI an only requires a DIN to DB15 connector to bridge to your existing card and away you go.

Could it be a freak-mutant Voodoo1, a modified voodoo2 (probably not) or some Voodoo Rush I have never seen before?

Or is it a Velocity? ???

Who's in the know?

This a Voodoo1, but a special 6MB Variant (standard 2MB framebuffer, but 4MB Texture Memory)

...pretty rare Card nowaday's, and one of the few that was not using the 3dfx reference design.

Think it may get purchased by yours truly then! ;)

Give it a whirl on the old 3dfx test bed!

What about drivers though, in order to reach a compatibility to use the S-Video port on the back, or will that work with just standard Voodoo drivers?? ???
