I don't think I've ever seen NV1 in a VLB form factor. Not sure if this combo exists tbh. Article may be incorrect. That article is just about the specs for the GPU, which has a VLB interface (many GPUs at that time had that, like the Trident TGUI 94xx, most S3 GPUs up to the ViRGE etc.). It …

Creative CT6200 (3D Blaster VLB) 2MB (New, Unsealed) (1995) That was the one from hard1k. I'm going to laugh so hard at the one who spent 5k on this beat up box... :lol: Admittedly it looks better in your pictures. eBay really made it look like a f**king wreck. Not the one from Hard1K. US Seller. …

OK, so it's a stripped-down GLINT 300SX. BTW: that page claims it's "the only texture mapper for VL-Bus" - but what about the NVIDIA NV1 ? NV1 has a texture unit as well - http://www.gpuzoo.com/GPU-NVIDIA/NV1_2_MB_VLB.html I don't think I've ever seen NV1 in a VLB form factor. Not sure if this …

Not only is finding one of these tough, but boxed is even tougher, boxed and complete is even tougher, but boxed, complete & with the optional surround/reverb module is pretty much unobtaniaum!

Alrighty you retro-maniacs! Artex is back in the saddle on this wonderful Father's Day (Happy Father's day to all you fathers out there!). Speaking of fathers, let's talk about the grand-daddy of sound card 'fathers' - or perhaps great, great, great Grandfathers... So I have a bare version, a boxed …
