3dfx voodoo 5 6000

[omega_supreme]

Hi people,
Nobody here knows me yet but i just got my v5 6k!
I bougt a latest revision from our friend Amigamerlin.
The card is doing really well. Q3 (1280x1024) went from 55 to 90
fps when i hooked up my 6000. At the moment it is not build in in my fastest system cause i still wanna play games like farcry:D Anyway
I put it in an untested mb from MSI. Its the KT3 Ultra-Aru. Amiga puts the rest of the info in the compatibility list. The rest of the system is : AMD Athlon 2100+ (not overclocked) and one clip of 512 MB DDR 333. The card was too big for my miditower but with a little bit of ironcutting it was no problem. As i said the card is awsome. Its as stable as my old friend the 5500 but a lot faster So there it is! Ow jeah one little question to ya all. Am i the only duth owner of a 6k!?!?!? Well thats it ill put a picture of my "precious" with the post so you van all see it

Only that Q3 wouldnt go on 2048x1536, but that was with no mesafx (still havnt tried that yet). So there it is! Ow jeah one little question to ya all. Am i the only duth owner of a 6k!?!?!?

Oh jah, gooi er een snellere processor in, die 2100+ haalt het volledige potentieel nog niet uit de kaart.

Kijk is aan, echt cool zeg woei! Eindelijk een echte Hollandse Voodoo5 6000 gebruiker ! Tof zeg. Kom aub op de GoT!!! en effe een kort vraagie, ken je effe kijken wat voor Rev en PCB nummer je hebt, oke ik zei wel dat het een Rev 3700 A1 is maar ik kan het fout hebben natuurlijk..... de PCB nummer staat op de achterkant van je V5 6K en de Rev nummer op de Voorkant ergens.

Nog bedankt voor je snelle reactie:)

in English:

Well look at that, pretty cool man , wow ! Finally A real dutch Voodoo5 6000 user!!!Please come to the GoT!!!And I just want to ask you a little question, can you have look at what Rev number and what PCB number your V5 6K has? Okay I said it was a Rev 3700 A1 but I could be mistaken.....The PCB number is on the back of your V5 6K and the Rev Number on the top of your V5 6K somewhere.

Oh thanks for your quick reply!!

thx

[amp_man]

Are you using a software firewall? I've had trouble with norton personal firewall not allowing me to complete registering to a few sites. Just disable it and you should be fine.

EDIT: Your V5 6k looks much like my V5 5500 atm, I'm waiting for a new mobo, so my old motherboard is out of the case, sitting on my desk, and I've got spare parts hooked up so I can play with it, testing a couple games and installing XP atm.

[omega_supreme]

Told you its done now im a member and i will post some stuff now
And for ppl here ive got anothe one for you too heres a nice pic of the 4 working vans :

Does anyone of u people have a spare bracket for my poor 5500. i had to take it of mine to build in the new 6000. plzzz

[Rampage]

I Think you can find that on www.marktplaats.nl That wouldn't be a problem.

My problem is worser, I want the box of a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, because I don't have it and I can't find it :-(

[omega_supreme]

I agree that the box is a bigger problem, but i wish mine was as simple al you said. I agree that there are v5 5500 for sale @ marktplaats but i do not intend to buy a whole nem card just for the bracket. Besides that the bracket is very different from other cards. The video output plug is is all the way to the left (or right) and the rest of my cards are more center placed Im still looking.....

[NitroX infinity]

Couldn't you try to make one yourself? (aluminium)

[omega_supreme]

ive thougt about letting one make by someone. But my dad told i would probably cost me another 90 euros. i dont think i can manage to make one myself.If its my last hope i will do but first ill try to get another.

To Obi wan:

rev : 3700 A
pcb : 210 0391 001 a

pleas correct me if i gave the wrong kind of pcb numer.

No that's perfect, and you must feel very lucky, because the Rev 3700 A'a are the best Voodoo5 6000's around in other words, they are the most less buggy ones around


Good move:)

another nice thing is it's memory has a stagering memory bandwidth of 10,4GB per sec!!!!![:0] That's exactly the same amount of your GeForce4 Ti4600 downstairs And why this card is so special, is mainly it's size and it's performance for it's time. It can out perform a GeForce3 sometimes but it always outperforms the GeForce2 ULTRA so it comes more closer to the performance of a GeForce3 Ti 200 128MB Nice hey
