Wow. I’m impressed. What’s your connection to 3Dfx / 3dfx and just how many of their cards do you own? Would love some backstory.

I'm not yjfy but as far as I can remember, yjfy's just a collector - albeit one with a huge, well-organized collection. And anything he doesn't own, he collects JPEG's of. He usually tries to make it clear which he owns and which he does not own, but it's sometimes lost in the wave of information - especially these threads that he has made that are intended to be "historical documentation". I can't blame anybody who might interpret this as "he used to work for 3dfx" but so far as I know, that's not the case.

Just have a look at his website: http://www.yjfy.com/, resprectively http://www.yjfy.com/Museum/video/3dfx.htm (when it comes to 3dfx).

kind regards

Actually is quite the compliment, similar to being called a hacker when you are just skilled is also a compliment 😜

The Righteous 3D engineering sample graphics card PCB date collected by dusty-voodoo.com is really 9626 weeks, which is the earliest non-3Dfx original engineering sample.

How rare are the Voodoo5 PCI cards, do you know yjfy?
