no, its dated 4299, very early for a Voodoo 4... so it cannot be a VSA101
and SDRAM was just usual on a Voodoo 4 4500, but with 6ns and not with 5,5ns like mine...

card purchased at ebay.

it is a Voodoo4-2 4200 with TV-Out...Voodoo4-2 4800 was only a marketing name AFAIK...

Very nice card!!! that was a diamond :)

Why do your Q3 timedemo 1 framerate is very low?! I got 80-90fps whit my V4

Post by: TM30 on 26 March 2006, 15:13:07
maybe because i did have to run it at AGP 1x... and thus i run the 4500 also at AGP 1X for better comparison!

Shame that 3dfx ditched the TV-out support on Voodoo5. For a long time it was a very sore point with me.

@ Darkfalz

you meant TV support for Voodoo4 , there were no Voodoo5 prototypes with TVout's but that would of been a nice Addition indeed.

No I meant Voodoo5 (or Voodoo4) because I had one, and always wanted TV-out. Was nice when I finally got TV-out on FX 5200.

I tried two seperate scan converters which were expensive and got crappy results, I returned them both.
