Re: Can anyone help identify this 3DFx card

The board is also using VRAM, which is probably not supported by any 3Dfx accelerator. So probably someone's unfinished pet project or attempt to scam?

Simulators are probably more like it. I don't see why would an arcade cabinet require a sophisticated board with VRAM memory and Altera MAX chip.

You could call it Rush 2, it has Voodoo 2 chips onboard. 16 (+16 more on the backside?) chips indicate that 2D chip has 4Mb of memory and Voodoo 2 has 4Mb + 4Mb +4Mb, for FBI, TMU1 and TMU2 respectively.

R7 450 is NOT an update. It's just another rebadge of Radeon 7750. While there are some GCN 2.0 cards which are supported, the fastest card for Windows XP on AMD side is still Radeon 7970 (GCN 1.0).

31 or older is guaranteed to have an unlocked multiplier. 31+ is where it gets dicy depending on Intel's manufacturing plant.

I doubt that AGEIA had any bios or firmware and there's seemingly no EEPROM chip on the card. This is not a device which is supposed to work without some sort of driver at all, similar to how Voodoo 1/2 operates. So probably bad caps or VRM. Does it work in any later games or demos? Like Batman: …

Cache difference is significant when it's 512Kb vs 4Mb. Or even 6Mb.

Running a DX2 at 66 bus, you need one of two DX2s, an AMD or Intel with a 16kb cache that have been down marked from DX4 production. Well not really one, more like several, because not all of them might make the 2x50 step, then out of those, small proportion achieve 2x60, then an even smaller …

So I've got Sapphire R7 250 Low Profile Micro-HDMI and it's a clear winner in my book. Catalyst 13.12 has official support, without any workarounds required. GPU voltage is rated at 1.025v, so it's even more efficient than FirePro W4100 (1.050v) and relatively cool. At 900 Core / 1250 Mem FEAR …

Adding caps may help with improving voltage ripple, but they are placed very close to the socket.

NetBurst is a bandwidth hungry architecture... PC133 SDRAM just doesnt have that. Yes, like I said, this combo was most likely just an afterthought, because 845 SDRAM platform was released after Tualatin.

If you want 486-like experience with AGP, just pair WinChip CPU with Super Socket 7 board.
