Go to www.hardocp.com forum and some guy in the for sale and trade section might be getting a bunch of V5's and will sell them 100 bux a piece!!! he needs interested peeps so get over there. I'm gettin one!

 

[MistaFix]

the thread name is possible deal or something like that. he might have both agp and pci boards for that price.

 

[lilstevo]

actually that guy is here on anandtech for sale forums too.

 

[chuckieland]

[tchinhe]

Someone please give me a link. I really need one.

Thank you.

 

[chuckieland]

he does not have those in stock yet
he is wondering how many people wants one
and then decide if he should go ahead and order them

 

[sirionn]

Keep in mind that 3dfx is gone..their support might be gone too

Still, for $100, it's a good deal for a good card.

 

[MattStone]

Their support "is" gone after Feb of next year. But, look at all of the vortex2 based cards still kickin'...

 

[kendogg]

where the hell is the linK????

 

[cremefilled]

Keep in mind that Geforce 2 GTS cards will immediately drop to this pricerange when the NV20 chipset is announced in 2-3 months.

 

[NCTiger]

Is it just me or....

I cant find any info, like where, what, all the $hit...

Does ne1 know if this card will at 150FSB or not? I need one that can run at this speed.

 

[acroig]

Flexer1:

The Voodoo 5's do NOT like a FSB over 130-133, if you have a BX chipset I would recommend a GeForce card, if you have an 815 you may be able to go to 150 FSB, but it's a gamble.

 

[flexer1]

ok, thanks but are you sure? Is there a review on this card?

 

[BigDave]

I've never bought anything from a private sale over the internet before. Do you just send the guy the money, via paypal or whatever, and then just trust that he will send you the card and not rip you off?

[daimon]

This "possible" deal involve alot of people and alot of money, bout' 1/2 mil worth. There will be hell to pay if he cons people.

 

[JIZ76]

Hey, I was gonna bite but after reading through 6 pages @ the [H]ard Forum, I'm gonna pass...

Here is a partial rip...



DO NOT send any more payments at this time. I was misinformed on somethings(I'm SO GONNA kill my contact if this falls through). I will resume this if things don't fall through and the cards are in my contact's hot little hands. Wish me luck. In the event this does fall through I will be refunding the money. I'm terribly sorry if that happens. Believe me, I didn't do this to attempt to con anybody. This makes me look like a total ass right now.

Btw, the cards are said to be bare OEM... Also I would think these cards will be available soon for these prices anyway...

g'luck Happy New Years

someone say 3dfx(voodoo)is gone but what video card brand is the best now? Elsa?

 

[shiznut123]

im not gonna buy voodoo's anymore:Q

 

[DoeBoy]

What I figure is check out the current drivers and if they are any good and you have an old outdated card and are looking for an update but rather cheaply this is a good card to go with assuming the drivers are good... then again I am guessing that 3dfx will have enough money to support there cards for another month or two... maybe another revision of the drivers or two which in my mind if they could only do one or two more revisions they would make them as rock solid as possible because they would want to leave some kind of legacy and good grace among the people

 

[prodigy]

Cheap price. :Q

 

[stevesurfing10]
