New one, now on sale through http://www.ebay.com  ;)

Check it out, this guy is selling even the ORIGINAL COMPANY FLAG with the item, which once featured outside the 3dfx HQ in the US:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2779284468&category=40157

Get your wallets out, $$$!  ;D

Looks like this one is back up again, for sale!  :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2787512238&category=40157

Check out the feedback of the seller though! Didn't get a good response from the previous buyer (to be)!

Sounds like there could be something wrong with this auction (and seller  :-/) alledgedly.

I don't *really* think an opinion of someone with 0 feedback is credible at all on ebay ..  ::)

Me neither... but sellers that are selling a Voodoo5 6000, may have simply joined on eBay, solely to the sell the card, because they may be aware that a lot of buyers may use eBay to find one.  You must give v5 6k sellers with 0 feedback, the benefit of the doubt.

Best thing to check is to see the date they joined.  If it's the same day as when the v5 6k went on sale, chances are they are here to sell the card and that's it.

However, sellers who have tried to sell the card in the past, things have not gone according to plan with the buyer and he labels the seller a "criminal", you are asking for trouble.  And people would be mad to put in a bid, the second (or several more) time he tries to sell it.

True..
Id'e just wait for eBay to remove that comment before selling it again..

but maybe he really needs that money bad :/

It may sound dishonest to the V5 6k (please forgive me  :-[) but last time, it went for an awful lot of money, and it's only a display model!  yes, okay, it comes with a plaque, but anyone can build one of those with a bit of time on the old CAD CAM machine!  ;)

This is probably just my opinion, but if I was going to spend that amount of money on a V5 6k, I'd wait for a woking model! Heck, you can always put it on display when you've finshed using it, or got bored of it (but I can never see the latter option ever happening!  ;D)

I just urge buyers to be cautious on this purchase! Get as much info about the item (and the seller for that matter) as you can!

And here it is again:

The guy is a scammer- He has buddies running the bid up hoping a real buyer makes the purchase at the end of the auction.

This is absolutely true! It would be almost impossible for this seller to have that many of these cards.

I was doing a bit of "ebay surfing" last night and managed to find out he's selling it yet again!

Word of advice: Let this one go!

By the time this MORON was selling the V5:6K for the third time it was BLATANTLY obvious he's running a SCAM! >:(

Plus his non-existant feedback rating! ::)

Can we hit him with mallets now? ;D :D ;)

Heheheh! ;D 8)

Yea, a scammer, preying on either the very stupid or those with too much money and nothing better to spend it on.  There was something similar a while back, remember?  That huge collection of cards, may have been genuine but looked dodgy nonethless.

I'm bemused as to why anyone would want one of those overpriced things anyway, they are rarely working, especially the Intel bridge chip variants, and are more of a testamant to 3dfx's downfall, than it's success (Voodoo2 fills those shoes).

Yes, but hank also worked for 3dfx, which many ppl didn't do...

I guess Hank would have like ALL the cards  at home.
Rare voodoo4 and 3 boards, but I wonder if Hank also worked on the Voodoo 1 or maybe 2??
But like sad before the Voodoo2 is a symbol of dominance of 3Dfx. But Another card of dominance is the Quantum3D 100sb 4440 (now that was a BEAST at its time ). But Stil the fact remains that the V5 6k symbolises all the hopes of 3Dfx fans for 3Dfx to take back its trone, were it one time had been sitting.

V5-6k was probably the biggest joke 3dfx came up with.  And before the 3dfx zealots get their knives out... this card, with it's huge external PSU and ridiculous cost, was never going to be affordable by the average user and definately wasn't going to save 3dfx from their ulitmate demise or compete with products from Nvidia, this is why 3dfx abandoned it's release.

Voodoo5 was a short term "fix", the single VSA-100, Voodoo4 compares badly with Voodoo3.  It just isn't enough of an improvement, performance wise, over the older chip.

Using the combined fill rate of two or more chips on one board, the Voodoo5, is nothing more than a wasteful cheap hack.  That the end user payed dearly for.  This was acceptable to an extent, and I can't deny my own preference for the Voodoo5 over any other graphics card of it's time and many of those produced later.  Voodoo5 6k was taking things to the insane level though.  3dfx should never have even thought about that one.  It made them look ridiculous and gave "ammunition" to their competitors.

A testament to 3dfx's corporate complacency. ;)

> V5-6k was probably the biggest joke 3dfx came up with.

You facts please? I was under the impression multiple processors is the way to go when it comes to heavy workloads and the VSA setup very neatly got around the problem of stupidly expensive ram for the memory bottleneck.

> this card, with it's huge external PSU and ridiculous cost, was never going to be affordable by the average user

Key phrase- "average user"

I could make the same statement about the Nvidia 6800, $500 *and* I'm required to have a 480 watt power supply? For this I get a glorified Geforce for $500 with a dustbuster cooling system?

Funny ATI's X800 PE kicks it in the jimmies and it doesn't require a 480 watt power supply.

>  and definately wasn't going to save 3dfx from their ulitmate demise or compete with products from Nvidia, this is why 3dfx abandoned it's release.

1) Wasn't meant to save 3dfx, it was a flagship product which always has limited sales. *if* it was released on time benchmarks show it would have gone toe to toe with a *GF3* a product that was a year from being released.

2) VSA was an interm product till Rampage was released which by all rights was a killer product that 3dfx should have released sooner but was sidetracked by feature creep and people being pulled away onto other chipsets like Banshee.

> Voodoo5 was a short term "fix", the single VSA-100, Voodoo4 compares badly with Voodoo3.  It just isn't enough of an improvement, performance wise, over the older chip.

That's correct, rumor has it that it should have gone through one more design revision but 3dfx was behind the 8 ball.

> Using the combined fill rate of two or more chips on one board, the Voodoo5, is nothing more than a wasteful cheap hack.

Wasteful? You need to read up on how 4 sample AA is done, multi-gpu is the best way to render a sceen with AA and 3dfx had the best way of doing it.

See cheap memory note above.

Multi gpu = cheaper ram and more bandwith.

>  Voodoo5 6k was taking things to the insane level though.

Don't buy it then, no one was or is twisting your arm.

3dfx had great people working for them, but they had bad business practices due to the fact they were founded by people who design things, not run business!

On the other hand Nvida is full with nasty little payoffs, driver "optimsations" and lawsuit bullsh*t.

Enough to make a man puke.

.Just make a great product and let the market decide

I'm quite frankly with beta on this one. That massive, 4 GPU rig, which was way too buggy for it's own good,  still could barely keep up with the competition (nvidia). It was 3dfx's last gasp of breath, like jumping off the top of a burning building. Either way you're dead, but the second you're more memorable  ;) Owning a Voodoo 5 6000 is like keeping ashes in an urn on the mantlepiece.

In an idea situation, yes. If you can come up with a powerful GPU, then double it, it's great in a workstation/CAD machine. On the other hand, 3dfx was relying on the multiple GPUs even for their "consumer" product, the 5500.  And how many "consumer" products to you find today with dual GPUs? One, the Volari, which is still at this point a joke when it comes to the competition.

Yeah, I think you win on that one, but still, nvidia's products of the day were by far smaller, less power-hungry, and I imagine cheaper.

I would like to see those benches, because from what I can remember, the V5 6k was comparable to the GF3 in like one test, and fell below GF2 levels in others. It was closer to the GF2 Ultra level, if memory serves.

3dfx invested too little time in the Rampage, they kept sticking their technology for the Rampage into other chips, so the Rampage was a doomed project in that matter. The V5 6k would have, if released, hopefully have provided funding necessary to continue with Rampage development. So, in that sense, it would have saved 3dfx, if it had been successful. However, I think 3dfx's corporate leaders looked at the facts, looked at the books, looked at the market, looked at the money (referring to that offered by nvidia), and took the easy way out.

Ah, so now their buying the ram cheaper but still demanding outrageous prices for it. The AA is a good point, but I imagine it could also be performed in a similar fashion with a single GPU.

I don't honestly understand why you people waste your time and money on these stupid cards. 3dfx is gone, why on earth do you need to pay $1000 for a directx 7 video card, with no driver support? A voodoo 5 5500 will run any Glide game, except for a few requiring a Voodoo 2, and you should be able to find something for less than $1000 to run dx7 games.

Here we go again, blaming everything on nvidia. That's enough to make anyone puke. Don't you think 3dfx had their own driver optimizations? Do the letters ICD ring a bell?

And ram prices today are much different then they were back then- If you check reviews *back then* you will find that the biggest problem almost everyone was working on was the memory bottleneck. Nvidias solution was expensive ram, 3dfx's was multi gpu working on the same problem splitting the bandwith.

Both ways have their drawbacks, Nvidas was cost of ram, 3dfx's was having to use 2 chips and PCB cost.


Quote:

The Geforce 2 Ultra was a $435-500 product, MUCH MORE expensive then a V-5500 ($300) Non-Ultra cards were in the $300 range.

A quick Google search will confirm this.

In all fairness (I am reasonable)  the GF2 was about equal to the V-5500 and was priced comparable to it.

In what 3DMark 2000? Well known fact Nvidia payed them off. I'll stick to real games as a benchmark not some bs "test program" that to this day is still being manipulated by Nvidia cash.

Quote- "Looking at the performance data presented here it obvious that 3DMark 2000 and 2001 did not offer representative data concerning 3dfx performance in D3D mode.  3DMark 2001 is particularly bad in this respect."

In Quake III the V-6000 went toe to toe with a GF-3, Nvidas favorite benchmark that their drivers are tuned for! With a card not even released yet ;-)

In Serious Sam the V-6000 greases even the GF-3.

*IF* the V-6000 was launched when it was suppose to (late 99) it would have been the leading performance card for a year. And that's based on benchmarks done with an unreleased card with beta drivers vs a GF3 with polished drivers.  


Quote:

Rampage was up and running Quake 3 two weeks before 3dfx threw in the towel. Yes it was delayed by people being pulled off for other projects and feature creep, I have already mentioned this.


Quote:

Rampage was *finished* no more funding was really needed, it was too late though. 3dfx owed people money and ran out of time. I suspect there are other factors as well, they sure did sell off to Nvidia in a big flaming hurry.


Quote:

Check your facts- V5500 was cheaper then GF2 Ultra by a huge margin and equal to a GF2 GTS.


Quote:

The AA is a good point, but I imagine it could also be performed in a similar fashion with a single GPU.

So... Why has Nvidia's method been so lacking? I was laughing the other day since the 6800 just started using the method 3dfx used in the VSA-100 card, rotated grid anti-aliasing.


Quote:

Why do I also own a gas guzzling 1970 Plymouth GTX? Why do people collect stamps or bugs, etc, etc.



Quote:

You have a complex? I didn't blame them for anything. Most of 3dfx's problems can be laid at their own feet which I pointed out. Products late to market due to feature creep, bad managment, mistake of buying STB, etc. They were working to improve these issues by getting rid of the bad people, selling off STB, going back to their previous business model but it was too late.

On the other hand if you wish mention Nvidia, 3dfx was taking them to the cleaners in court because Nvidia was guilty of infringing on their patent. Their suit toward the end was nothing more then a delaying tactic to get 3dfx to spend more cash on lawyers instead of bills. Worked too didn't it?


Quote:

Don't you think 3dfx had their own driver optimizations? Do the letters ICD ring a bell?

And what is wrong with a mini driver? (which was just for the Quake based games btw)  I have the choice of installing it or not installing it. That's hardly a sin compared to Nvidia drivers that shut certain features off in the name of benchmark numbers even though they are checked "on" in the control panel.

I call that cheating, it's deception pure and simple.

LOL you're hilarious, you should have your own spoof forums.  Voodoofiles has been around alot longer than most other 3dfx boards.  Every argument you've given there is pathetic and groundless.  You don't like it, but our members do.  Some of our staff members have stepped down, because most of them have other things to do in their lives such as work and eduction, also many of our older members have simply got bored of 3dfx and it's assosicated fanboys and have moved on.  2 members?  Have you actually looked at the forums or do you have difficulty reading?

At VF we don't think we're gods, this is why we "hand out ranks" to people.  If we have good members we give them a chance to become moderators.  The uploading of the old posts would have caused the recent posts to be overwrited, you'd have to have a basic understanding of MySQL 4.x, and php script to understand this.

Yes as to the people I forgot you like "famous" names don't you?    but in fact to name a few:

fedaykin: co admin, a highly experienced user and designer of the help page, check google.com and eat your words.  (just like this board we have two administrators and I am not known for promoting fascism either so there goes your nazi theory)

psyno: moderator, experienced in all aspects of hardware/software.  I personally guarantee he is better educated than you and far more knowledgable in every respect.  But of course he isn't one of your famous names so that won't do at all!

Vuikie: ex mod/admin, was posting about 3dfx cards while you were still in nappies.  Lost interest in 3dfx and moved on, he does drop by occasionaly.

Sy: Same applies.

ThruYerStErNuM:  Wrote most of the game guide, and got many games working that others thought impossible including the "experts" on other boards.

ps47:  You should know him, he is continuing the work on the game guide, not trying to be a "big name", just helping people out.

And me, I'm not known either and don't want to be.  I don't set our to prove anything or make friends, I look for the truth and I agree with most of gdonovan's posting on this topic.  If you don't like Voodoofiles or my opinions thats good.  Because if I found myself agreeing with someone like you I'd get worried.  You'd be afraid to argue your point over there, because VF members would respond.  Stay where it's safe where they let you flame amp_man and that other geezer black_out, and you thought they were the same person...  I rest my case. ;)

That was somewhat below the belt. I'm not saying that I'm not a voodoo user, I use my voodoo box all the time, my brother has friends who come over and they get little games of UT or NFS 3 going on my main box, my P2 (voodoo box), and my other P2 (GF2GTS), and the voodoo box has by far the best quality picture of the three, although the main box gets better frame rates.  And hell, if I could get a V5 6k for $300, I probably would, mainly for that reason. But I'll be damned if I'm going to waste $1000 or more on an over-glorified, buggy card that I'm going to have to look for a special motherboard for, and then use software emulation for half the directx rendering anyways.

Ow i see

Well it's pretty sweet even if it doesn't work ;D

But to be honest, if it would be a choice of a radeon x800 for 300$ or a voodoo56k, id'e go for the x800..

WOW, you quoting me from 3dfxzone and not knowing what that means shows how much of a n00b you are amp_man.  ::)

Ditch You Voodoos Children is a key phrase, but I guess must have been in your "nappies" during that era.

oh well, it was used against you almost as horribly as amigamerlin's was used against me.

anyways, f*ck this place, you people can load your dough into old pieces of cr@p if you want to, or string a dozen Voodoo 1s together to get the power, almost, of a Geforce2MX(!). Meanwhile, I'll be at my little Nazi forum, being the great Hitler's little Voodoo b!tch. So long suckers...

Oh yeah, and good luck with those OC contests, i hope you burn every single one of your voodoos up, cause you people really need to move on  ::)

You two idiots (amp_man and beta) have just proved my point: you live in your little nazi forum and troll other forums.
Like I said, NOBODYS!

Another bites the dust.

Next?

Here's more crap I found on your little forum to add to my arguement:
