I hope the gods don't mind this thread, but I've seen a few people asking where they can find one of these things...

Good Luck

he sold it to some poor schmuck for $500

 

[Intelman07]

Does that card even fit in a standard ATX case?...That price isn't bad 109

 

[modedepe]

This guy doesn't even know if his card works. Not much collector value if it doesn't work.

 

[Wag]

I don't know about that. As a collector's item, especially something rare and obsolete, it might not matter that much if it works.

i love the quote:

"it's so fast its kinda ridiculous"

 

[VIAN]

3dfx PC Accelerators. So fast, it's kinda rediculous.

I know I won't be able to afford the card by the time 9 days are over.

 

[moemac8]

Were the ever any published benchmarks for the card. I would love to see how it performs

 

[SemperFi]

Wow! are voodoo 4's worth anything?

I may just sell this thing for some kind of upgrade.

 

[Rage187]

voodoo 4's and 5' 5000 5500 4500 are not worth maybe $25.


They were mass produce, hense have no value.


The 6000 was never mass produced hense that sucker is worth $$$.

 

[SemperFi]

Oh what a way to burst my bubble.

Thanks.

Looking at the pic in the auction, it shows the intel bridge chip. This means this card was one of the first versions (prototypes) of the 6K and it most likely won't work very well, if at all. Click below for more info.
V5 6K Intel Revision

 

[Rage187]

why would anybody actually buy this to use???


This for show only folks, still worth a chunk of change.

Thats one BIG piece of history.

 

[InlineFive]

1.47 Gigapixels peak? Meh...

 

[Rage187]

3dfx actually bought Gigapixel

Benchmarks for V5 6000 vs GF3,GTS2 & slower

The V5 6k does well in Open GL ,coming close to the GTS2 ultra & GF3!:Q ,but in D3D it can't quite catch the GTS2 (ignore the 3dMark scores)
Just read it myself

Linked from that ebay link up top

"They had the copyrights? Wow. "


3dfx bought Gigapixel it was a company who developed the gigapixel technology.


Learn your roots!!!

Actually, if you look at the guide above, you can see that the 1st revisions had a large Intel chip, unlike this one. The one up for auction has the smaller, black square chip by 'HIT' or sumtin'. It actually looks like one of the later revisions.

^ thx for pointing that out.
