Depends on the capabilities of the motherboard.

Which kind of tests do you want me to perform ?
Shall I overclock the voodoo itself or do you mean overclocking the FrontSideBus ?
Which Benchmark should I use ? Unreal v226 just like before ?

I'm talking about overclocking the voodoo's self offcourse. I don't care about the cpu :) And unreal would be fine. Just as long as you run the same tests on every speed and card :P

(V4 4500 @ 140MHz/150MHz/160MHz/170MHz
V4 4800 @ 140MHz/150MHz/160MHz/170MHz)

Sorry, it took a little bit longer.
Here are the results :

As you can see, the daytona behaves almost exactly like an ordinary V4...

Well, since the daytona is an early revision (I presume) there would have been room for improvement. I assume it's not unthinkable that the final revision of the daytona would perform at least 10 percent better.

Hey all

After reading this topic even being very old, I kinda miss these days, back then we were all exploring on how things worked, and man this place was active like if there was no tomorrow.

Would it be possible to relive these days?

Anyways I surely hope so, it really kept our minds going didn't it, well it did for me that's one thing for sure.

Yes that could happen, if someone were to find a warehouse full of 3dfx Rampage video cards :D.but that will never happen [V]

No need to discover any gold pot at the end of the rainbow, IMHO.

3dfx gaming or...ehm...retro-gaming is a philosophy nowadays; no need to have Rampage or v56k to relive that days. After all, those cards are prototypes, them are part of 3dfx history sure, but not like the other 3dfx cards. I mean, in '97 we played with Voodoo/Voodoo2 and then with Voodoo5 5500; no Voodoo5 6000 available for customers (sad ya, but it is gone like that). Rampage? Most of us didn't even know about that card...nevertheless we were happy anyway, or at least I was happy:)

Pick up a pair of cards, like a Voodoo2 and a Voodoo5 5500, would be enough to play anything marked with 3dfx logo, and there are a lot of wonders of the past that are waiting for us. The real gold 3dfx pot is inside all of us...

IMHO.

well my fav 3dfx card was the Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP 6MB , you had the best Voodoo3 chip with a cable TV-Tuner, this thing was great, the 2D/3D image quality that the 3dfx 355 Avenger chip gave is beyond the best I have ever seen, even better than what a VSA-100 can give, that's one common fact and advantage of the Avenger chips.
