Can I have some help identifying my Voodoo 2s please? I picked them up over 10 years ago and there's no record of the purchase. The old falconfly ID website matches the part number for Trust Skywell Voodoo Dragon 2 Magic 3D II but as you can see these are not black PCBs. From lots of scouring online, they appear to be most similar to PowerColor models. These have 110mhz memory and the Texas Instruments DAC. The only branding being 3Dfx and being a "3.0" is interesting to me as well.

I have found your card on EBAY: 3DFX VOODOO 2 PCI 12MB 3.0 RARE 110MHZ Edition Boxed New "Tested" Collectors

Ver 3.0 maybe means for the fast 22ns 110MHz EDO Memory

Great find! Wow.. wish I could see that box better. Looks like they may be rare. If they sold for that much I could buy a 3080 at scalpers prices...

Edit: Going to contact the seller to see if they have more info.

It's interesting. Yours is a v3 but still using the old logo on chips.
I have seen a v2. 1 with the new one.

If I understand the PCB correctly, I believe that it was manufactured in March 1999. I'm not sure when the logos changed. I think my V3 is new logo but it's been so long since I had AGP 3.3 to run it.

Well I'm not talking about the logo when launching a game 😀
But the logo directly on chips

OK yes I understand. That is odd that the chips are old logo on my cards.

I have two of this cards in my V2 SLI System. These are PowerColor EvilKing II 12MB with all memory chips on the front. The two TMUs (Bruce) units are with the new 3dfx logo, produced in the week 05, year 2000, and the FBI (Chuck) unit has the old 3dfx logo, produced in week 10, year 1999.

Here are some pictures.

I also have a SLI of 2x Voodoo2 12MB and another one sleeping in a tray, but all with old logo. I'm so jealous 😀

Here are pictures from me, not the best quality, but better than nothing.

Bought in 2014 on ebay for 20€ per card. 😁

20€ per card... Can't imagine this by now unfortunately.

Even more interesting on yours, there's no memory chip on the back side

That's the approximate price I paid years ago for the ones I have. 😁

Got these bad boys running in my rocket build. Overclocking tab maxes out at 105mhz which they do no problem since they have 22ns memory. Is there a way to extend this up to try for 110mhz or is it just not worth it to overclock them at all? I'm only running them for glide compatibility, they are paired with a ti4200.
