Title: just got my Voodoo 4 4500
Post by: secretfj on 20 January 2005, 15:31:04
I thought it's a AGP one, but what i get is a PCI version, but that's anothe story

I installed  SFFT Alpha 22, MESAFX as ICD, and V.Control
After i set all to maximum, i started GLExcess..
although it's slow (actually not very slow), it's Image Quality is Superb.....I've never thought that GLExcess should look like for a Voodoo card...
Totally Satisfied (as the machine's main Function is to do Photoshop, Surfing the internet and playing Kid's game...)

too bad, i have to remove it from the system and use the onboard again as it gives BSOD every times it runs a kids game -- one of the child at my home(actually is my cousin)'s favourite...
so, got its HSF removed and going to give it some copper to cool it, then use it to replace my good old V3 3000 (so i can play Rally game with 2X AA..would be very nice ;))

I've done something crazy...
yes, it's the same V4 PCI, i just replace the tiny heatsink with something a bit larger and added some RAM heatsink..

strangely enough, i can run GLExcess flawlessly with 195/195MHz but all my games only willing to run when the speed of V4 is about 188/188...i originally thought that GLExcess will stress the display card more so it can test if the o/c is success or not...
seems i was wrong
