If unboxed = probably NO! Otherwise...NO! Nuff said! 8) Besides, manuals are only useful for mainboards and stuff like that, GFX card manuals are usually crappy!

I know, it's just that I bought on off eBay. It came with everything (driver cd, box, y-cable) except a manual! Embarrassed

So I looked at items that had been sold or were for sale in a similar package (comes with box, dirver cd etc) and NONE of them had manuals.

So I didn't know if 3dfx actually shipped that card with a manual or not??

NO Voodoo4/5 came with a printed manual. You'll find one the driver cd...there might be the message "only win 9x" or something that when you'll check out the cd..so check the cd out manually. you should find some useful html files which should answer some of your questions. but there's no printed manual for any Voodoo4/5.

Micha, did you buy yours from a retail store, or elsewhere, for example?

bought a packaged one from a friend...there wasn't a manual..but everything else 8)
maybe you're right about your point according the PCI variation Wink

but that wouldn't explain why i didn't get one.

if there's actually a manual for the voodoo5, i wonder where they all got in time...maybe to manual hell hehe Grin

well, you're right: who cares still today? Roll Eyes
