how many in total exist voodoo rampage?
how much,more or less?
exist working on,how many?
somebody sale this card?
as far as I know, there is only 1 rampage in existence, although the 3dhq community claimed to have one, the only known one is in italy, i believe. you will probably never see this card up for sale, only see it's technologies in the nvidia (ugh) fx (as in 3dfx) line of cards.
not believe exist 3 series from rampage
1 rampage ,1 rampage +1 siege and 2 rampage + 1 siege,all down the name spectre,and this last serie outrunner to geforce 3
well, your english is pretty bad there, no offense, but from what i think you're saying, my response is that I believe those were projected possibilities for cards. i think by seige you mean sage, which was the off-chip tnl unit designed for the rampage. but the never got the original rampage chip running decent, so the sage was not produced, as it was useless without a funtioning rampage.

3 that are known of...the one that the italians have, that's actually two different boards...
And the third is unaccounted for, maybe aquoes has that one...
well what about this one then:
http://members.lycos.nl/pictures3dfx/3dfx%20Voodoo%20Rampage%20Spectre%203000.jpg
isn't this the 3dfx Spectre 3000 the one with 2x Rampage and 1x Sage T&L Unit??
or is it another enginereing smaple of some other type Voodoo?
here is a list I found at Plasma Online:
These were the planned 3dfx Rampage series based cards:
Spectre 1000 - 1x 3dfx Rampage
Spectre 2000 - 1x 3dfx Rampage + 1x 3dfx Sage
Spectre 3000 - 2x 3dfx Rampage + 1x 3dfx Sage
And this would of came after them:
Fear - 1x 3dfx Fusion + 1x 3dfx Sage II
But isn't there no resemblance of 3dfx' Mojo?
Anyways the most logic thing for the Fear series would of been:
Fear 1000 - 1x 3dfx Fusion + 1x 3dfx Sage II
Fear 2000 - 2x 3dfx Fusion + 1x 3dfx Sage II
Fear 3000 - 2x 3dfx Fusion + 2x 3dfx Sage II
Fear 4000 - 4x 3dfx Fusion + 2x 3dfx Sage II
That's what could of been very possible.
And The 3dfx Mojo series cards would of came out after the Fear series later that time.

FAKE, everyone knows that pic is a fake...look carefully, it's a Voodoo3 with some bad photoshopping going on...(http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif)
yes, that "rampage" is a V3 combined with a V5. rampage was supposed to have 1.5V slot support and AGP 4x, so the easiest way to identify stupid fakes is to look for the second gap in the AGP connector.
There are many theories, ideas, speculations, and downright BS as to what 3dfx planned for the future. all we can know for certain is that it didn't happen, and never will
Has anyone thought that if the end-of-the-line 3dfx cards were so powerful, how come nVidia has never built them? My answer is that they weren't what they were made out to the public to be....
I have thought, that Amigamerlin and his team have good connections with former 3dfx workers ? Maybe they can ask for us ? ;)
QuoteHas anyone thought that if the end-of-the-line 3dfx cards were so powerful, how come nVidia has never built them? My answer is that they weren't what they were made out to the public to be....
One easy and simple answer, nVidia didn't get anytech after the VSA series, i.e. no Rampy or anything else beyond...but they did get SLI, but I guess even nVidia's too stupid to use it...
Nvidia didn't build any 3dfx cards because they never bought any actual card designs.... only the patents around the tech within the chips and chip inter connections (sli) themselves.....
Bloody Mess
Then where did all those items in stock go to? Did they get destroyed?
ASUS P4S533 | Intel Pentium 4 2,261GHz | 512MB Samsung PC2700 DDR-SDRAM | Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
Ever look at the 3dfx site back in the beginning of 2001? nVida was giving people rebates...something like if you sent them your voodoo card, they'd give you $30 off a Geforce series (high end), $20 off a mid range Geforce card, and $10 of a low end...something like that...my Voodoo 5 is worth more than that :). The point is, I'm pretty sure they destroyed them ;)

Hmmm... I know there is one in Italy! I know the guy, but I cannot give his name! Sorry! ;)
I don't know whether other samples really exist so far, but here's a bit of inside info, from another
nameless guy :D:
The V5 successor, which brought 3Dfx over the brink of bankruptcy, didn't use Glide at all, but you don't care about that. Only one of those chips ever ran at all, anyway, and it needed a continuous supply of coolant to keep it from burning up, and a clamp to affix it tightly enough to the board.I cannot tell whether the guy refers to Rampage as the "V5 successor", tho... And, of course, I cannot give further details about the quote above. [:p]

i don#t think so, they haven't destroy them, some have gone to Quantum3D and are stocked there, and some are also by Nvidia. But non eof them are destroyed. [?]

Well okay if none of them are destroyed...is there real proof or evidence on that theorie?

i kinda doubt that nvidia destroyed all the 3dfx cards they got, it would make more sense to sell them to Quantum3d (although this is nvidia we're talking about). however, if they did keep some, for some odd reason, there's no reason to keep them, they probably went in the garbage or something.
Yes, nVidia most probably destroyed the most of them...and the ones that Q3d got were directly from 3dfx...
Do they have really destroy them all !!!! ok how can you prove this `? Or is this also a theory of your ?
OMFG! What else do you think they'd do with outdated tech? Frame each and every single one and mount them on a wall? Get real!
I must agree with lecram: there's no way to know what happened to 3dfx's inventory or the card's that were handed in during the "trade-up" program. it is useless to argue the point, because nobody can be proven, or disproven, as correct.
somebody from 3dfx for answer ?

Eheheh I must correct it !! THE_ONLY_ONE is in italy :D there is only one prototipe that works and IT is in italy !! On the home page of 3dfxzone.it you can see the mini review of it !! [8D]
About the price .. Actually the owner don't want to sell it but if he decide to sell the price can be MUCH_HIGHER, MUCH MUCH HIGHER!!

Look carefully! Especially on the bios, notice how the writing...notice that it's the same handwriting, but they're obviously different...

are you trying to get smart with me ?
boy I have had the card in my hand you have see it only in photo !!
the card are 2 different version and the only one that works correctly is the second one (with fan) . The first is only a prototype and seems don't works correctly !!
However the real working Rampage NEED a dongle too to correctly view the colour !!

so, would the other Rampage work with adongle, or do you know? also, why didn't 3dfx build the dongle into the card itself?

Your initial statement says that there's only one card...so how do you figure when a whole bunch of us at x3dfx know for sure that there are two cards, and those two pics prove it...I didn't say two working cards, all I said was that there were two!

The other Rampage seems to have big probelm !! ... The working rampage was a prototipe. Because an CHIP error some signal was inverted on Silicon .. and the External Dongle reconvert it in the right way !! I suppose 3DFX thinking to place all in order in the next release of the chip but They didn't have had the time [V]. They close their door after a while !!

Well, AFAIK, the problem was with the DAC! That was one neglected part in the simulator :D
But then again, AFAIK...

amp_man, there wasn't going to be a dongle in the final retail card...the donlge is there just to flip the RGB channel, or in this case, BGR?(not too sure about that)...they used a dongle because Rampage was put together in such a hurry that the RGB channel was inverted, lol, hence the dongle...
has some one have a 5 mega pixxel photo of this beutifull Rampy??
It would be nice though!! I am indeed a true 3dfx fan like everyone else!!!!

well, my 56k didn't exactly appreciate it, but they're worth the wait. and lecram, don't bother telling me to stay out of anything, I'm just more likely to get into it, lol
btw, why did you argue that there was only 1 rampage, when the pics you just posted show little differences between both cards, aside from the hs/fan, the most obvious ones are the clump of sodier near the power supply connector and the marks on the black cushion-looking things on the board. also, a few places where resistors on one board are on slightly sloppy that are cleaned up on the other.

First off, I told you to stay out of it as this was between amiga and I, secondly, I never argued that there was only
one card...go reread the thread; I argued that there were at least two different cards that the Italian guy had...
But guess what amp_man, I have a little treat for you since, you are unable to see the differences, even though I provided high res scans...*sigh*
