I was just wondering if there is an adaptor that will let me use my AGP VOODOO 5 5500 in a Pcie slot on an i5-750 running windows 98 se sp3?
I was planning on using my v5 5 5500 pci card but it seems to have developed a fault with green vertical lines on the screen 🙁
If no such adaptor exists, perhaps I could get my v5 pci fixed? Someone suggested it might be vram related?
Im pretty sure adapters do exist but no idea if a card as old as a Voodoo 5 will work in one, the Voodoo 5 is really a AGP 2x card so its entirely possible it wont work.
The PCI Voodoo 5 would have a much better chance of running in a PCI to PCe adapter, there are a few people who do repairs of Voodoo 5 GPUs it would be worth getting it repaired. The PCI V5 is quite a valuable card more so than the AGP version.
It will work, here's a V5 AGP through a PCIe to PCI adapter and a PCI to AGP adapter, running on a 3770K.

But I also recommend getting the PCI card fixed since you can just plug it into a PCI slot.
What kind of black magic is that! 😀
/me love my P200MMX@225 Mhz + Voodoo Banshee + SB Live! + Sound Canvas SC-55ST = unlimited joy !
Here is a thread about these agp to pci adapters that sdz is presenting here too: AGP to PCI adapters - any PCB designers here willing to make one?
The question is will the Adapter provide 66MHz PCI, i dont think so. So you will lose around 25% of your voodoo performance against the AGP bus (66MHz).
Strongly recommend recap and change the FETs on your v5 before swapping VRAM or reflow/reball anything. Its a common Problem V5 failed.

That AGP to PCI adapter can run at whatever frequency the PCI slot is clocked at. A bit irrelevant though as I haven't released the sources yet... have been busy with other things.
As a side note, you can run a V5 5500 at 95MHz PCI clock, and you get extra performance compared to 66MHz.
Would be interesting to see somes benchs with it. Anyway i would not oc pci bus with a v5.

I ran some benchmarks, 3dmark2001SE, the test system is a 3770K, 16GB DDR3, XP SP3, SFFT 1.8 drivers.
All scores will be a bit higher than a regular V5, as the one I used for testing has 128MB RAM.
Standard VSA&memory clock, 166MHz
PCI bus 33MHz: 3034
PCI bus 66MHz: 3349
PCI bus 95MHz: 3427
Overclocked VSA&memory, 184MHz
PCI bus 33MHz: 3257
PCI bus 66MHz: 3652
PCI bus 95MHz: 3776
64MB V5, 166MHz VSA&memory clock, 33MHz PCI bus: 2904
As for the broken V5 PCI, if the vertical lines are present in 2D (boot screen, desktop etc) , it's either RAM, connection between VSA and RAM (including series resistors) or the VSA itself. These cards won't display vertical lines in 2D even with all electrolytic capacitors missing.
