Whatever.
Notice how that thread started
june 10th and it was only posted on x3dfx
july 17th by lunar, after I discovered the thread and told bone who told him after I read this crap on falconfly's site:
http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=offtopic;action=display;num=1089581740
To make a long story short, noone would have really given a damn; clearly since it was "discovered" over a month later. (http://my.fit.edu/~mmichael/Smileys/b3deyeroll.gif)
I could care less, but it would take too much effort.
So what do you people think of the third rampage?
/sure/
Anyways, that's rampage #2. #3 is at a certain IHV and #1 is with that italian guy.

he has them numbered *rolls eyes* what next, names for them? Anyways, all you ppl here seem to talk about are the two with the normal GPUs, the one working and one non-working ones. So, I thought you might think of this as number three, but apparently someone has to correct me. So, number two now is it? How do you get that number, by revision, location, operation, design...or is it just something you pulled out of your a**?
That's #2 and it's going to be fixed; so no more broken spectres. And no you little boy, they're not names. It's pretty much a way to differentiate the three.
Heaven forbid someone tell them apart.
Hi guys,
to be clear there are only 3 Board of Rampage but the only one that is completely working prototype (no lock up build with the lastest PCB revision) and is in Italy and Paolo (AKA Sirta) is the guys that have it :D :D.
We have had the pleasure to have this wonderfull monsters about one years ago and 3dfxzone.it was the First Mondial Site that showed the Photo [8D] of something that no one have never seen.
Are you all interested in this board?.. well we have a complete set of photo :D.
Bye
little boy, that's an interesting one, don't think I've been called that in quite a while. anyways, the card does actually function, it's just that the colors are all inverted because it has no dongle
edit: not to be rude or anything amigamerlin, but I've got no time for staring at rampage pics while on 56k...

Amigamerlin, that can interest
other people :)
is it me or when they took off the heatsink it looked alot like a CPU socket like the Athlon MP / XP ones. You might be able to fit one on there if the pins weren't so off place possibly. That'd be fun thing to do tho.
QuoteThat'd be fun thing to do tho.
Hum, you would like to put an Athlon XP/MP on this Ramage pcb ??
Funny idea ! [:p]
@lecram25:
I maybe misunderstood a bit,but you shouldnt act like that anyway.
no comment on that last post of yours from the archive.grow up man..
@ps47
Don't export here the "problem/s" that you think to have elsewhere...
I think that on the Archive, the Administrators have been very clear.
Anyway, you have the p.m.
Thks
If I understand it correctly, there are three Rampage's
1: In Italy with Sirta (It thought is was Amigamerlin, but that's not the point) It works quite well with the dongle.
2: Somewhere in Eastern Europe is a Rampage, it is working, but it hasn't got a dongle.
3: Somewhere in the USA is a Rampage, but is it ever proved that there is really one?
So 2 Rampage's are working, that's great news!
Damn it, why couldn't nVidia buy 3dfx a month later... than we would have had a lot more clearity.
It would of been better if nVidia didn't 3dfx at all, then we would of been playing with Spectre's and maybe Voodoo5 6000's too.
It's just too bad , that 3dfx is no more, it has nearly been 4 years that 3dfx is not here anymore [B)]
Oh well the only way to enjoy 3dfx now is to collect thier cards and play with them from time to time.
The Rampage would of been a great chip though.

The one in eastern europe is back in the US to be repaired, and that's where it'll stay.

If 3dfx was still around, we'd probably be at Mojo (tiler), or something even more evolved than that...
Yeah, new rampage pics were very interesting, Amigamerlin, please give us a link from the pictures :D
the rampage from USA exists,I have seen it personally;)
So there are now 2 Rampage's in the USA, and one in Italy?
Cool 8)
But, there are a lot of people who claimed they have seen the first Rampage card in the USA, but áre there any pictures of it?

Why most of american people thought that Czech republic is in Eastern Europe? You don't have geography at school? Czech republic is in Central Europe. But I undestand that Europe is smaller than America,but is good to know where is lies than you locate it to somewhere. ;)
Some people from Europe are allergic on it. ;)
P.S. BTW the Rampage was borrowed from Hank. He is in someway connected with our small country.

BFD, it's not western europe, so it's eastern europe. The term "central europe" isn't really an official name; not widely used. That's why I refered to the czech republic as "eastern europe". And yes, I know about Hank's connection to

I am so sorry but in fact this is the first time i hear the term "Central Europe" as in Hong Kong, everybody only knows Western and Eastern Europe....(because in cold war, Communist (E. Europe) vs Captialist(W. Europe), this is what the books teach us..)
Thanks for giving me a precious lesson, i will remember it forever that Czech is in Central Europe
P.S. Does anybody have the behcnmark of Rampage? wonna see how good it performs...

OK, stop worring about central Europe :)
We cannot test Rampage because that model is not functional. Yes, it will POST and have some 2D (we didn't have VGA dongle for it also), but it have something wrong with 3D. Hank will know better than me what is wrong with this Rampage.And also is not really possible benchmark anything on it because Aplha drivers are not fully functional and anybody of us is not such a developer who will be able to finish them. This could be only something like "hobby" for Koolsmoky or Daniel if they will hold one of this and try it run.Maybe the italian owner of Rampage should tell us more about it.
We did only marvel at this "holy gral". And we are all very thankful to Hank for his favour because WE SAW IT AND HAD IT IN OUR HANDS ;)
hi vykupitel,
thanks for the information..
i am curious because what will it be like when compared with the high end cards at that time (everybody knows a V5 can almost outperform a GF2GTS with DDRRAM installed)..does it equipped with many good and high end techonologies like hardware T&L or pixel shader/vertex shadrer?
The Rampage rasterizer have only PS1.0 (there are some information about PS1.1 but not confirmed). Vertex shaders and T/L was implemented in SAGE chip which was unfortunately destroyed by nV when it arrived in package from TSMC with latest VSA-101 for final distribution. [:(!]
Maybe nV CEO use SAGE as keyring. [8D]
