Absolutely that's where I remembered that nice info :D Oh man What a Voodoo5 6000 Ownage here:


http://images.sudhian.com/review/Voodoo5%206000/SS1024&1600.gif

Those V5 6K's punch alot of power actually, wouldn't mind having one though[^], got 27 3dfx cards now in my 3Dfx/3dfx collection and yeah need to buy a new IKEA Glas Table for the extra storage space ! lol :D Those tables give my room an extra 3dfx touch.

My favourite Voodoo remains the Voodoo5 5000 AGP Rev 3700 AO. The one Rolo has[8D]. That is quite a very Rare card. It's not as long as a 5500 AGP but it's size is just perfect and it has SGRAM instead of SDRAM and only 16MB SGRAM per VSA-100. In other words:
"I would love to have one of those Voodoo5 5000 AGP cards". :

3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB SGRAM Rev 3700 AO:





P.S.
How's the weather in France by the way? I'll be go'n there for the 9th time in my life for hollydays again this year;)

Hmmm rolo hé? i think i still have a nice interview of him with his v5 6000. I think it was from PCGamer hardware. I always wanted the voodoo but i never thougt i would get a real oppurtunity like this! :D When i first read the 6k had a grand total of 128 mb, when 32 was still the standard a was amazed by its power. When i heard i was cancelled i was very disapointed. When it was time for a new pc i decided to wait until a card would appear with the same kind of power.
I was a gf ti4600. I still like that card but i like the 6k more!
Anyway you said you had 27 3dfx cards :| thats sure a lot of em. Do you also have the company flag? That would be pretty behind your 3dfx collection :P

It depends on the region, in mine it rains often but better in the south  ;)

Yes, that was me. This interview was a nice experience, because those guys from the magazine were 3dfx fanboys, too.

hey,there is a bios update that enables athlon3000xp 333fsb support for  KT3 Ultra2 mobos,I have bought one right now,just to be sure..

NitroX infinity

I wonder how much 3dmark 2k1se points that gets you with a V5 5500 :P

Well to reach the Ultimate Voodoo heaven you would need a AGP to PCI converter and combine that with your Voodoo5 6000 a AMD Athlon64 FX 53 based system [:p][:p][:p] And dream on I'd say. Then Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition should be playable at 1024x768x16 [Glide] with FSAA x8, or even at 1024x768x32 [D3D or OpenGL] with FSAA x8  [:0][:o)]:) I think that 47 to 52 Frames per sec could be possible.

And in the ultimate voodoo heaven, you will find super-3danalyzer, which allows you to run a whole 3 directx12 games, and Dborca will find a way to get OpenGL 3.5 to run ;)

Sorry to interrup you guys but i have a problem :(
The 6000 wont handle the 2048x1536 resolution in any game.
Windows itself will do, but none of my games (that i tried) gives
a good image. I tried win xp and win98 wit both amigamerlin drivers and the last official drivers. I know this sounds a litle spoiled but i would really love to see my voodoo reach the limit:D Is it a driver problem or is it the hardware itself?
 

omega_supreme

Doesn't anybody have a solution?? Rolo01?? Obiwan?? Anybody??
I have a picture that shows the card must be able to pull it off.
I could upload it but i think most of you people already know what im talking about. Its was on the presentation of the card (ECTS 2000 i think). There was this big monitor that showed q3 in 2048 and somebody was helding the 6k in front of the screen. please help me with this, im still very unexperienced with this little monster.

omega_supreme, can your monitor handle that resolution??
My Sony 19" G400 can only go up to 1770x900 or something to that liking....[xx(]
***ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI!***

Rolo01

I cant test it, because my monitor cannot go as high as that...
Do the games run at all @ that resolution ? Or do you get an error message ?
I read somewhere you cannot turn on FSAA beyond 1600x1200 or something like that...
