So it isn't a Voodoo2? Pitty.

Excellent! Can I ask you for a picture and memory spec. (22/25ns)?

OK... Colormax Voodoo2:

name: A-MAX -  ColorMAX - VP-510
(A-MAX - ColorMAX are marketing names analogic to e.g. InnoVision - Inno 3D or GainWard - CardExpert etc.)

Both 8/12MB were available, standard frequencies (90/90MHz)

original drivers are available here:
http://www.amax.com.cn/dl/pcdl.htm

only one picture (I know about):



it seems, that the chips are cooled by 3 passive cooler (A-MAX/ColorMAX Voodoo1 featured similar coolers).

PCB design is not the first one (2 chips near RAMDAC)

About A-MAX:
A-MAX sells MP3 players now. Official website: http://www.amaxhk.com/

A-MAX manufactured Voodoo1 (VP-503) and Banshee (VA-513), too.

Some pictures:

That's all I know about this board and vendor...

EDIT: VP-503 pics...

Thank you, I have updated the list.

I'm preparing a list of rev. numbers (V3/V4/V5). I added some numbers from this thread. Some people wrote rev. number, but card version is missing (AGP/PCI/MAC etc.). Can sb. confirm this revisions (written grey) or add others?

The list is here: http://www.no-x-files.webz.cz/articles/rev.htm

Sorry for my English

First drivers for R7000/VE were horrible, but this is past.

It's important to know, which version of R7000 is the mentioned card. R7000 has always 64bit mem. bus, but it's not so bad, if it's DDR version (HyperZ & HSR helps, too). And clocks? There are 143, 150, 155, 160, 166, 175 and 183MHz versions. (ref. Radeon from ATi: 183/183MHz DDR).

performance (theory)

V2: 1 pipeline * 2 TMUs
V2 SLI: 2 pipelines * 2 TMUs
R7000: 1 pipeline * 3 TMUs

single text. fillrate:

Voodoo 2: 90 MPix/s
Voodoo 2 SLI: 180 MPix/s
Radeon 7000: 183 MPix/s

dual layer:

Voodoo 2: 180 MPix/s
Voodoo 2 SLI: 360 MPix/s
Radeon 7000: 366 MPix/s

3 layers (max fill-rate):

Voodoo 2: 180 MPix/s (2 cycles)
Voodoo 2 SLI: 360 MPix/s (2 cycles)
Radeon 7000: 550 MPix/s (single pass/single cycle)

I think, that single-board V2 can not be competitive with R7000 (only with very old CPU), but it supports glide :-)

(sorry for my English)

Edit: but the question was "which one would you prefer". I'll prefer Radeon as primary VGA + D3D accelerator with V2 (SLI) for Glide acceleration ;-)

Radeon 7000 is much more faster than single-board Voodoo2, you can use higher reolutions, drivers for win2k/xp supports Direct3D, Radeon supports bump mapping and anisotropic filtering, but if you use old PC (CPU 500MHz or slower) and prefer older games (3Dfx era), v2 could be better solution.

I thought, that all Stingrays (V2) had heatsink and Hercules logo (this board has two different RAM modules - 90MHz and 100MHz)...

Do you know this board? 12MB Voodoo2, but mem. modules are situated only at one side... The seller said, that this is original 3Dfx card, but I don't think so.

Any idea?

(sorry for my English)

Can you show (/send) me a picture, pls.?

My opinion:
Voodoo 4 - 4000: VSA 100; 16MB 128bit SDR SDRAM
Voodoo 4 - 4200: VSA 101; 64MB 64bit DDR/SDR SDRAM
Voodoo 4 - 4500: VSA 100; 32MB SDR SDRAM
Voodoo 4 - 4800: VSA 100; 32MB SDR SDRAM (="V4-4500 + TV-out & DVI")

But this is:

VSA 10?; 16MB SGRAM (SDR or DDR?)

a) VSA 100, 16MB 128bit SDR SGRAM, lower clock (heatsink only)

b) VSA 101, 16MB 64bit SDR SGRAM, higher clock (daytona @ 166MHz requires no heatsink)

c) VSA 101, 16MB 64bit DDR SGRAM, ... -"-

any other possibility?

You are right! There is a version of Maxi Gamer 2 (probably not "built by guillemot"). There is "3Dfx" logo instead "MAXi GAMER" logo (near the PixelFX2). I have not better picture, but it is visible enough.

http://www.no-x-files.webz.cz/voodoo2/gmg2o.jpg

This card is the MG2 with 110MHz modules. I'll add it to the list.

(s-f-m-E)

Gul. MAXi Gamer 2 has "MAXi Gamer" logo. f.x. this one:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/zboss/3dfx/Collection/Voodoo2maxigamer.jpg

But the 22ns card has only "3Dfx" logo.

(sorry for my English)

Are you really sure?
