I noticed that dxdiag shows empty lines for chip type and dac type on my retro pc with voodoo 5 5500 . As i recall it should say something like chip type: vsa 100 and dac: internal. Can anyone confirm if this is correct or wrong? My system specs are: windows 98se, latest 3dfx official driver and directx 8.1.

Here is dxdiag log:

It's displayed correctly.
The Voodoo 5 5500 has SLI and 32MB per chip. Direct X can only see the 32MB.

It's one of the classic 3dfx FAQ 😁
