I'm not a wizard but I do 3Dfx cards reach a new HW level. 😎 Repair, Mods & Collecting. Working in my own 3Dfx Museum online based on Lab cards & VoodooX 2/3D.

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.

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. 😊

@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.

@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 - 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
