I share a crazy photo of a deal that started in 2017 year and has not been completed until today- not bad 2 years... All #3Dfx cards are prototypes, reference boards even unreleased board. Patience is our gun and a virtude of collector... It was well worth waiting for.

@espadonut Hola! Hecho.

@oscar_barea Hola Oscar, estoy interesado, por favor si puedes abrir los DM. Saludos.

3Dfx VoodooX project - Starting a new project with @AshEvans81. Really I am very busy, started to work in a new company based on Electronic PCBs / PnP and dunno If I will be in good mood for ending it and reach first step goal. Ash is working in PCI version and me on AGP version.

@hajek_jaromir Done! You can sen PM.

@oscar_barea hi can i get some info to DM?

@Drtadjl Gracias crack! 😘😘

Mierda volví a picar.......ya compré otro gadget retro.... Vamos una gráfica moderna con aires clásicos......... Gracias @oscar_barea sigue así no cambies x.com/oscar_barea/st…

@luisxkimo Done!

@oscar_barea Hi @oscar_barea I'm interested on the project. Could you please follow-back to allow contact by DM?

VoodooX 3Dfx Project - I have a very small batch of cards for sale. This is not a commercial project- it is simply a limited edition for those who genuinely LOVE 3Dfx hardware. If anyone here is interested, please contact me via PM. Priority EU users for logistic reason.

VoodooX 3Dfx Project - The card includes a switch for MY EDID / MONITOR EDID. If MONITOR EDID reports weird modes, simply switch to MY EDID to boot with clea & standard resolutions: 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024, 1600×1024, 1600×1200. Perfect for picky monitors. 😊

@jeffqchen @166mhz Later I will check in BIOS screen using both cards and let you know.

@oscar_barea @166mhz I do see a lot more interference patterns on my Voodoo 4 and 5 even on a CRT, especially in low res modes like the BIOS screen. So there might even be some dumb screw-ups in their circuit designs.

@jeffqchen @166mhz Analog DAC on VSA100 does not have its own crystal. Pixel Clock comes from the VSA100 internal PLL, derived from the main reference crystal. My guess- Ferrite beads & small filters on the DAC/PLL can lose efficiency after 20+ years- more noise . It is very visible also 1024x768.

@oscar_barea @166mhz Looks like a timing issue with the 4500. Old crystal drifting away?

@BerjBurpa Gracias a ti por el re-tweet. Si, la verdad es que mola. ☺️

@oscar_barea Enhorabuena, que pasada, gracias por compartirlo.

@Fruzzah23 The answer is simple: it’s an upgrade that never hurts and can only help. More memory allows higher resolutions and gives extra headroom in some games. There’s zero downside. No, it does not need any driver tweak.

@oscar_barea What’s the purpose of the significantly increased RAM? Higher resolutions? If so does that require tweaked drivers?

3Dfx Adapters - AGP2AGP, first tests and not bad. LoL Banshee AGP1x loading Windows98SE using 4CoreDual VSATA AGP4x. 😍😍😍

3Dfx Adapters - AGP2AGP is ready for testing. AGP3V3 to AGP1V5.

3Dfx Adapters - I made an PCB order back an April'25 but not too much time free. Idea is develop them this week. The candy is the adapter AGPtoAGP. It can be very funny using old VGA AGP3V3 on modern AGP4x motherboards as Banshee, Voodoo3 & others brands. AGP2PCI AGP2PCIe AGP2AGP

@bitraxius Don't worry, very soon I will do a small batch for sale to very good price for 3Dfx fans.

@oscar_barea this is amazing!! I want one so bad!! 😭😭😭
