Hello all,

Well I have some good news for you 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP 16MB users/owners, as that I did some useful research last night, it's that some time ago I bought a M1-DA to VGA convertor cable and thought to put this thing to use, the VGA connector is male so to solve that I used a VGA/SVGA DB15 D-SUB 15 Pin 3 Rows Female To Female Mini Gender Changer Adapter on it's male 15 pin D-Sub connector, that way I could connect the CRT to it and presto this worked!

The image quality is fine to around 1600x1200, I have 1024x768x32 and yea no issues at all, bottom line is that is much less strain on the 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP's M1-DA connector, this is my goal so I wont have to use that horrible blue 3dfx IO Pod anymore 😎

So I bought this M1-DA to Male VGA Convertor cable on ebay in China for around 23 Euros incl shipping from China to Netherlands, it may not seem great, but it's much better than even I had expected, it fits very easily, no need to bend out the shielding of the 40+5 pinned M1-DA connector on the cable, it fits easily.

But hey it's a solution right! So with this you won't have to overpay yourselves for a Voodoo3 3500C + TV-Out Compaq board, so I thought to at least test this and see what it does and post it here as it does actually work!

Here the ebay seller I got mine from:
https://www.ebay.ie/itm/387155543843

Just make sure you add a VGA/SVGA DB15 D-SUB 15 Pin 3 Rows Female To Female Mini Gender Changer Adapter between this and your monitor, aka one of these:
https://www.ebay.ie/itm/133567891402

With that you're good as gold, it's a fantastic solution for us Voodoo3500 TV AGP users alike

Also you don't need to use the extra USB connector that comes with it, just the heads up for those wondering.

Hereby saving everyone money in the end, here how I connected the M1-DA to VGA Convertor cable to the 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP 16MB Rev.A 3199 and the Compaq S710 17" Blackshade CRT

Here the insides of this beauty:

Here the M1-DA to VGA convertor cable:

And here the VGA/SVGA DB15 D-SUB 15 Pin 3 Rows Female To Female Mini Gender Changer Adapter which you do need to make it work:

All working as it should do and just letting other Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP owners know that this methods works very well and can be seen as a low cost solution as well and with this ideal solution you won't have to use this horrid large and heavy blue 3dfx IO Pod anymore:

For every problem there is always a solution, that is the how we think at x-3dfx and if I find out something helpful I'd gladly share it.
Happy weekend everyone 😎

Today on March 19, 2026 a very nice and very hard to find ATi Radeon/R6 AGP 64MB 128Bit DDR Rev.A1 0111 arrived from a friend from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany.
Which is this gem:

Here some pics I made, after searching for this card for more than 10 years, all worth the patience in the end, I added my 1971 Lufthansa B747-230B the D-ABYD named: "Baden-Württemberg" with the R6 card I bought from my friend from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany, to fit that scene, this also being the first Radeon AGP with 64MB 128Bi t DDR, I thought to match it with Lufthansa's first B747-200B sporting the Lufthansa Sunrise Delivery Livery from 1970 and my ATi hat, even tho I will try to find a better one, this one will just have to do for now:

in May I will try and give this system a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 PCI 16MB SDRAM, if I can find one for a decent deal, Voodoo Alert will come to my aid maybe, I'll see what I can do with that, as for the CPU the Athlon 700 is a bit on the slow side for that R6, so an Athlon 850 or 900Mhz Thunderbird Slot A CPU will be what I'll be seeking as well, yea just gotta find the right parts to fine tune this system correctly, all within time of course.

Hello everyone, sorry for not being that active, I had a rough time with the passing of a close family member, it did take me some time to get back in to it again.
But finally I was able to upgrade the Slot A build to something far more proper, I added the following parts just to perfect the system and make it more optimized for it's timeline of Mid 2000.

AMD K7 Athlon Thunderbird 900Mhz for Slot A
2x Noctua NF-A6x15 FLX 60x60x15mm fans

So here the pics of this beauty that is finally completed:

Here the CPU with the two Noctua fans mounted on it's brass colored heatsink, screws all are different I used what I ahd laying around, it's gives cool Makeshift look rofl

Here the two graphics cards:

ATi Radeon AGP 64MB 128Bit DDR Rev.C1 0111
3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 PCI 16MB 128Bit SDR Rev.A 4599 with 5.5ns SK Hynix SDRAM

Here I set the CPU voltage from 1.75 volts to1.60 volts and ran Prime95 Torture test for 9 hours and 7 minutes, all tests were passed and no errors were reported:

Here a test out of curiosity at 1.55 Volts, at first I was like haha! this won't last long, but surprisingly the system ran Prime95 Torture Test for 2 hours and 6 minutes, passing all tests and also no reported errors, this did impress me that my K7 TB 900 has a very high quality die:

But when I wanted to reboot, just because why not, the system hanged and the monitor went black, so after turning off the system and discharging the PSU and then turning it on and going back to the Bios I set the CPU back to 1.60v and all is great again, I played Star Wars Dark Forces II Jedi Knight for a good 4 hours flat with the ATi Radeon AGP 64MB 128Bit DDR ViVo Retail @ 1024x768x32 + FSAA x4 & AF x16 without any issues a nice heavy test but it ran the game like no tomorrow.

So yea this did prove me that with the CPU voltage set to 1.60volts that the system is stable under all workloads, this will make the CPU less hot under long term work loads and this also helps put less strain on the +5 Volt Rail of the Power Supply Unit, well as how I was informed.
This hobby does help my mental state a lot, it helps me focus on positive things more 😎

Hey all,

It's tie for something new and different , well from my end anyway, as I never was able to experience the Pentium 4 done right, the Northwood series of CPU's were by far the ebst i heard and read about, there were three different Northwoods that are these:

Northwood A 512KB L2 & 400Mhz FSB No Extreme Editions for this one
Northwood B 512KB L2 & 533Mhz FSB No Extreme Editions for this one
Northwood C 512KB L2 & 800Mhz FSB Extreme Editions came @ 3.2Ghz & 2.4Ghz with 512KB L2 and 2MB L3

So the one I went with was the last generation of Northwood which is the Northwood C, most of the needed items I already have, this is a build log for this new build and yes I will run my V5 PCI Mac in this build as well, should give that card the CPU speed it needs.

As for the mainboard Richard from x-3dfx helped me finding the one of the best OC boards of all time, which is the following:
ASUS P4C800 Rev 1.04 0327

Which was from this auction:
https://www.ebay.ie/itm/404807128219
There are Rev 2.00's, that I am very aware of, but these were too damn expensive so I went with this one, which seems to have been either well cared for or even recapped, well by the looks of it.
Even so I'd happily send this mainboard to Backfire for a Würth recap, such things can't hurt it I'd think.

Here the CPU stand alone:

Intel Pentium 4 HT Northwood C 3Ghz, 512KB L2 & 800Mhz FSB for Socket-N 478:

And here the main graphics card for this build which is powered by ATi's R350 KAHN-B VPU.

The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (released in 2003) featured hardware F-Buffer (Fragment Stream FIFO) technology. This on-chip memory buffer allowed the GPU to execute pixel and fragment shaders of near-unlimited length without the severe performance loss traditionally caused by multi-pass rendering

Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 Pro AGP 128MB 256Bit DDR Rev.C1 0411

So yea there ya have it, more to come as more parts arrive!

Yet I may need help finding me a pair of 2x 1GB Corsair XMS Platinum PC-4400, this is DDR 275Mhz DDR1 memory or say 550Mhz DDR per stick, I know it exists, but it seems to be very difficult to find.
If anyone has tips feel free to DM me of it, many thanks in regard! 😎

Today the 3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB arrived from Canada!
This card will be sent to Backfire from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany for the 3dfx Voodoo4 4800 PCI Macintosh Upgrade Project that will be the following improvements:

Upcoming reworks:

01. 64MB 5ns Etron Technology 128Bit SDRAM
02. Full recap with Würth Polymer Capacitors
03. Full Solder reflow
04. DVI-I will be added for Flat Panel support
05. Custom made Retention PLate that adds a DVI support hole alongside the D-Sub VGA support hole.
06. Bios Updated to 3dfx Voodoo4 4800 PCI Macintosh by Backfire reading out a total memory of 65536KB
07. New High Quality Industrial 7000 rpm Fan & improved heatsink

3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB 128Bit SDR Rev.A 3300
This card was made during week 33, of year 2000.

This card will be the secondary graphics card as the 3dfx option in my Dual Pentium !!!/EB 1000Mhz Build.
Tomorrow on July 01,2026 I will ship this card to Backfire in Ronnenberg, Germany for the 3dfx Voodoo4 4800 PCI Macintosh Upgrade Project, once it returns I will make new photo's of it and show you this piece of beauty in action, from a production Voodoo4 4500 PCI to a Modified Engineering Sample of a Voodoo4 4800 PCI Macintosh a card that never saw daylight.

At x-3dfx & Voodoo Alert we follow our 3dfx dreams in to an unchallenged reality 😎

Well I have some great news everyone!

My 3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB is now a 3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI Macintosh 32MB with PC Bios 1.18 DVI on it which went through the following reworks all done by Backfire from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany

First two pics are of the card before the reworks, just for the head's up.

------------------------
01. 1x New Bios ATMEL Chip
02. 1x Sunon MF40060V, 6000.rpm Industrial Fan
03. Slot Bracket Mod for D-Sub VGA & DVI support
04. 9x Elko 10μF/16V Würth
05. DVI Connector Mod
06. Power Supply Rework
07. Required Solder materials for full solder reflow
------------------------
Here the card before the upgrades & improvements:

3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 PCI 32MB 128Bit SDR Rev.A 3300
This card was made during week 33 of year 2000

And here the card going under these upgrades and changes, these photo's were taken by Backfire from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany of course, to who I am very grateful and thankful for his services!

3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 PCI Macintosh 32MB 128Bit SDR Rev.A 3300
This card was made during week 33 of year 2000, but reworked to the V4 PCI Mac during week 35 of 2026

That was slightly different that planned, however we both agreed to keep it at 32MB, as the ram on board works fine and 32MB is plenty for 3dfx Glide games anyway.
For the rest the Caps are sealed polymer capacitors by Würth, can't go wrong with that either.
This card will be my secondary graphics card alongside my Ati Radeon 8500 AGP 64MB 128Bit DDR in the Dual P3/EB 1Ghz build.
Which is this system:

More photo's of this card when it arrives later in the upcoming week including the system photo's of the card in it and a new 3dfx group shot while I am at it 😎
All the thanks go to Backfire for his explicit work when it comes to reworking & repairing 3dfx the correct and most best of ways.

More about the 3dfx V4 PCI / V5 PCI DVI upgrade project can be read here:
https://www.voodooalert.de/board/fo...-backfi … 00-dvi-upgrade/
With that, I took part of that project as I lend out my Voodoo5 5500 PCI Macintosh to help with the required needed research for this project to make it possible, I go there as "Gold Leader"
Without my original V5 PCI Mac this project would of been a lot more difficult as Backfire told me himself.

While the Voodoo4 4500 PCI was being worked on I also picked up my first ever GeForce FX graphics card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra by XFX Pine Group with Dual DVI-I and S-Video ViVo, the complete package.

These cards were powered by the NVIDIA NV36-A1 GPU, this was the heart of the FX 5700 Ultra and these cards perform on par with the NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti-4600, the Geforce FX by design uses the 2D core of the ever released 3dfx Specter series of graphics cards that would of used the 3dfx VSA-200 Rampage 200 Graphics chips in combination with 3dfx Sage TL Geometry chips.

The 3dfx Specter 3000 AGP 128MB 256Bit DDR would of performed on par with a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra / GeForce 4 Ti 4600 as it came to DX 8.1 the same for OpenGL performance, so to simulate the Specter 3000 at it's best the FX 5700 Ultra is the closest thing to it as it comes to it using the Rampage 2D core and 3D features of the Rampage 2000 chip as well, this is also ideal for 3dfx Glide emulation with Zeckensack's Glide Emulator, of course a real 3dfx card is better butby usinga Geforce FX and that emulator it's the closest you'll ever get to the real 3dfx Glide.

So here my card that I bought for a nice deal of 120 Euro's incl shipping from Germany to the Netherlands:

XFX Pine Group Geforce FX 5700 Ultra AGP 128MB 128Bit GDDR2 Rev.A1 0304
This card is A1 revision and was made during week 03 of year 2004

And here the PCB date reading 0304, meaning the card was made during week 03 of year 2004

Here the system I used to test this cool blue graphics card:

NVIDIA Force Ware 84.21 WHQL

The drivers I am currently using are the NVIDIA ForceWare 84.21 WHQL; this driver I used with all GeForce cards from the GeForce 256 to the GeForce 6800 Ultra, all cards run stable with it, and they may be faster drivers, but stability has always been the main priority of importance during my test runs.

Here all the control Panel tabs and settings, what I did do is adjust the Digital Vibrance & Saturation by 14%, so this card's image quality output comes close to that of an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro, ATi always had a sharper image but adjusting those two settings on your GeForce card and you can get very close.

Here some test runs I did with this card and system in Mad Onion's 3D mark 200 & 2001 SE B330.
both using 1024x768 in 16 and 32 bit color modes and all tests with Triple Buffering Enabled, oddly 3D mark 2000 has this disabled by default and 2001 SE has it enabled, so I Enabled it in all tests for a more fair outcome.
And I don't know why that was like that, but yea here goes:

3dfx Mark 2000 @ 1024x768x16 & 1024x768x32 with Triple Buffering Enabled:

3dfx Mark 2001 Second Edition Build 330 @ 1024x768x16 & 1024x768x32 with Triple Buffering Enabled:

Once testing is done the Matrox Parhelia AGP 256MB DDR and the Voodoo5 5500 PCI Macintosh 64MB SDR will return back to this system.

As for my graphics card collection that XFX Pine Group Geforce FX 5700 Ultra is my 35th graphics card, my collection has been growing quite well the past few years
My coolest cards I have currently on display in my Coffee table in the living room as it still carries it's old name being the following:

The Voodoo Table

It's contents will always change, I also use it to store and display card I don't use for a certain time, that way it's contents will always be different over time, and variation makes it more appealing as well.

And there you have it, there are always things to do in Retro Land 😎

Hey all

After that the package arrive d back from Germany here the Voodoo4 4500 PCI Macintosh to what the card was modified to from a regular Voodoo4 4500 PCI:

3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI Macintosh 32MB Rev.A 3300 + PC Bios 1.18_DVI
Reworked, Modified & Recapped by Backfire from Voodoo Alert Forums, Germany.
This card was made during week 33 of year 2000, it was reworked by Backfire on August 29 during week 35 of 2026, a good 26 years and 2 weeks after this card was built.
------------------------
01. 1x New Bios ATMEL Chip
02. 1x Sunon MF40060V, 6000.rpm Industrial Fan
03. Slot Bracket Mod for D-Sub VGA & DVI support
04. 9x Elko 10μF/16V Würth
05. DVI Connector Mod
06. Power Supply Rework
07. Required Solder materials for full solder reflow
------------------------

Here the card in the system I chose to use it for, which was the better outcome, this AthlonXP 2200+ will get more performance out of the V4 PCI mac than the Dual P3/EB 1000 to where I moved the V5 PCI Mac to, just a better way to balance things out more evenly.
