Hello Guys, nice to see someone testing this special 3dfx card. I was also watching them, however unsure because they don’t use the fastest 320 chip, also not 5ns memory. I also would like to see a test where it compared with a regular Voodoo 5, to see if AGP 4x gives any benefit? My overclocked …

This is the best reading of 3dfx cards, so now we can understand well what happened with them. It is also new to me, that even the double chip Rampage could not compete with Geforce 3 Series, because would be weaker and would arrive later. I just don’t understand how Nvidia could bring out so …

My similar sytem also did not want to start, using Abit BH6-II motherboard. Actually sometimes started, other times not or frozen. Than I changed my old PSU to a new EVGA 500 W1. Since computer always starting. Than freezings still existed, than I realised I had to change the ATA to SATA converter …

Very nice competition game and my build is almost done with Pentium II 450 and Voodoo 4. Just i did not planned build into network card and i don’t have yet one. But anyway if Geforce 2 Ultra is allowed, my V4 probably will not be the fastest 😀.

hmm, I have the same problem, I already purchased a second sound blaster live, but same problem, very loud itchy noise. I am very curious if switching to different PCI slot will solve the problem for me too 😀

3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 seems also happy with 89MHz AGP Bus speed, however I am unsure if ok to overclock further or I should by rather a 100MHz bus speed processor.

Well I remembered with Vodoo3 2000 well above 2000 points i got. However i had Celeron 700MHz processzor that time. Now I checked with further overclock, quite easily I could switch the Pentium II processor to 520MHz and, https://i.imgur.com/vSOYx9m.jpg that is +300 points compared to the base …

Thx, Order Queue Depth setting was good. Well, yes, than it is just less what I've remembered how much was. Seems this 3DMark2000 very much processor speed affected, since as I changed memory to CL2-2-2 and bumped CPU speed a little bit up, it got better;

The HPT controllers (respectively their BIOSes) have serious problems with devices which are not a HDD, especially the HPT366. Updating the controller's BIOS could (!) help. The controller's BIOS is integrated into the main BIOS and updated with it, but the latest release of the corresponding HPT …

You go for high FPS in low resolution or why the heck 1 GHz CPU for Voodoo 2? That is even for a Voodoo 5 5500AGP a good strong processor. I use a Pentium Pro 200MHz for Voodoo 2 SLI and I can enjoy both’s best at 1024x768 resolution.

I see yours has got a fan. My PP180 machine came without a fan, just a passive HS glued to the CPU. It runs very hot and I've worried about overheating. Of course, i would not use them without proper coolong. The factory cooler is loud, so I installed a modern Zalman on it; https://i.imgur.com/ …
