wow she's a real beauty!!! How long do you have your Rev 3400, I suppose you're missing something? Like the Voodoo Volts external PSU for that card? As I can't see any internal connection for it's replace or so.

Does this card work fine with Quake3Arena at 2048 x1536 x16 ?

I would like to know how many frames you can get with it :D :D :D

Well if you look at your Voodoo5 6000 Rev 3400 A3:

(https://www.forumzone.it/public/uploaded/Simon3D/2003826145036_A3_prima.JPG)

there is no internal PSU upgrade done for it, No PCI rework done either [:S] I suppose that you don't have the original External PSU fot the Voodoo5 6000 ?

Huh? Are these two different cards? This one (https://www.forumzone.it/public/uploaded/Simon3D/2003102182912_voodoo56k-fronte-Compressed.jpg) has the internal power mod. And what is this PCI rework, I've always wondered?

The image without hookup are older than other. If you see firs photo it has internal hookup. ;)
I've not got the power supply for this card.

Well I found something about what the PCI-Rework really means, this is what Amigamerlin posten about a year ago:

"Rework:

1) Install 4.7K resistor – R540, R589, R717, R714
2) Change 22ohm Resistors to 0ohm resistors – R734, R743, R735, R745

This rework changes secondary PCI clock alignment and timing, to improve timing margin. Boards that used to fail within 30 seconds to 2 minutes completed over night runs on Quake 3 and (RWB2.3.2) GVT demo loop at 4xFSAA and 8xFSAA.
