Honestly at this point I question 3dfx's skill at all. They took so long trying to get the voodoo 5 6000 out and Anthony has managed to do it himself. Crazy. most likely they outsourced pcb design. i saw strange things on their pcbs. but all that was more than 2 decades ago, who knows what …

Just wondering how these photos could help you? 200sbi card has 8 layers, maybe 10, a lot of traces on the inner layers. Almost all traces on outer layers are covered by ic chips. You need to ask all scanned layers of this board. Or complete schematic.

Oh wow, any plans on sending one of those to LGR or PhilsComputerLab? if one will be free and available, maybe. anthough, i had a bad experience with such endeavour, 3 years ago, when i made v1 sli project, i sent a couple of these abroad to the certain paper magazine for review. when they sent the …

Thank you. I am still awaiting new real 6000 SIV save files so I can't check how the registers compare. Looking at the PCI config space then both my 5500 and the real 6000 have ROM BAR present, but it's zero on your card + they have cfgSliLfbCtrl as 00000000 and with your card it's 021F0060 , why? …

considering the fact that even such operation as xl9572 cpld cracking costs a lot (it requires precise work on a special equipment), i can't even imagine how much complete reversing of vsa100 silicon would cost. that's only the first step. asic silicon production costs a really big money.

I have now released SIV 5.57 Beta-01 so use this rather than the test SIVs. Next time you have you card in the Core i5 system please will you generate SIV32X save files for me so I can compare what your 6000 reports with a real 6000? To do this run SIV32X than do Menu->File->Save Local . take a …

Anthony thank you for your hard work. Will this card have an option for DVI output like many Apple Mac version Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 5? People often take the Mac V4 and V5 and flash the firmware to operate on a Window's PC and it would be a nice option to have both VGA and DVI video out. Thank you …

i see some kind of licensing mentioned in datasheets for these chips, so no chance to get free design guidelines. maybe leaked motherboards schematics would help in finding acceptable monitoring solution

your idea worth to consider. suggest some sensor chips to implement. How about a W83795ADG or NCT7904D ? Some of the others only support 3 fans. i like NCT7904D, but i see only datasheet for it. i need to see design guide or implementation guide or reference schematic or something like that. if you …
