I guess I picked a good time for my first post. Going along with the XP discussion, here are two machines I refreshed this past year. Socket 478 , Pentium 4. I have both 2.0Ghz and 2.8Ghz processors for it. ATI 9550 64MB GPU. Was originally sold as an XP machine, still is, but I may try installing …

Hello Willem. Great seeing you here! Nice hardware as always 😀

This fatty right here! GTX 295 from Palit. P_20180409_173358.jpg I know the card itself is a bit new to be considered retro, however that can't be said about the VHS tech that it's no doubt based on, so I'm posting it in this thread Haha, so brilliant! :lol: Remember having seen similar combination …

3dfx Voodoo5 9000 - 32 Way SLI Monster Some of you might remember 3dfx wich who ruled the graphics card industry back in the late 90's. Their latest chip the VSA100 had a max spec of 32 way SLI, thoe such setup have never ben seen, well not until now! The Voodoo5 9000 have 32 VSA100 chips clocked at …

Very cool that someone did this! It is a photoshop joke. Over a decade later someone went all-out and had a custom PCB made to support all of the surface mount chips taken off other video cards. The only functional part of the card is the LED blink. The software is all scripted animations. The only …

No prototype or anything, they are rev 05 cards, only seen one other of those. Normally its rev 4 or 6. But have never seen a Rev5 card with 125mhz memory before, thought it only where Rev6. But maybe tgeir 100mhz stock ran out on the Rev5 right before producing the green rev6... Dono

yes, Voodoo2 pretty mutch run on any 5v PCI slot system, even works in windows 10 systems. Also can't see how a fast CPU will be able to toast the card.

I once got a contact who once worked at ITE Media, that had a partner ship with the Danish TV station DR. He got contacted by a previous colleague that their 3 Quantum3D Mercury Sysems where about to get thrown out. But when he finally had the time to react, the systems had been driven to the …

Get a Silicon Graphics 540 and throw a cuple of Quantum3D 8264 cards in it or a maybe a Mercury Brick :) Note, the 540 SGI only support 3D accelerators, It's not possible to install a Geforce 2 Ultra or Voodoo5 5500 for example, since it will only use the onboard Cobalt chipset as primary adapter ( …

That video is bitchen. let me know of you ever want to sell that card Captain. Have given another fake PCB away, if you one day get the required SMD's i'll send you a fake board for free aswell. :) all crazy boards are too much expensive. ordinary v2 based on 6 layer design. you'll never find v2 …

G400 doesn't really have any advantages aside from EMBM. Can't really see how EMBM gives any advantages in 2D but maybe it's just me being stupid... The reason people are using Matrox cards for 2D, is not only cuz of the OK 2D performance, but it's because of their high quality RAMDAC's, when …

No words explain how nice this is, really great work. If you one time want to start a pruduction, then will i help you found it, such PCB's are expensive. But have contact who im pretty sure has some Voodoo3 and VSA 100 chips and memory. But personally would have liked to see a more crazy board, …

Hello 😀 Have you got it working? If you decide to give up will be able to make a offer, will then try and replace the SOJ's.

I always go with Matrox cards for 2D. If it's Voodoo2 i go for Matrox G200 or Mystique 220. When it's a Voodoo1 i go for the original Matrox Mystique.

Have tried to compare AGP and PCI based Voodoo5 5500 cards and cant really see any diffrence, and thats cards from 2000. Cant see why it should be a problem form a 1998 build then :) When thats told, Voodoo5 is a real bad card for such comparasion cuz it dont support AGP textureing. But pretty sure …
