I have acquired a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and having problems confirming it is in working order... Although I own a P3 board with the correct AGP version (1.0 with 3.3v), it only works with my TNT2 and NO OTHER AGP card (subject for another discussion perhaps). The closest machine I have available to test it is a P4 equipped with ECS P4S5MG motherboard. Officially, it's an AGP 2.0 with a universal AGP slot. But it's most probably a 1.5v AGP slot.
So I can fit the card in, get the computer to post, have a video signal, but I get "text artifact" (if there is such a thing). Something like snow screwing up the screen (while any other cards tested in that system does not). So the Voodoo 3 is alive, but my question is: is this artifact generated by the fact it's working with 1.5v or is the card bad plain and simple? In other words, what is an expected Voodoo 3 behavior when used in an AGP 1.5v slot?
