I have one of this:

EDIT: is not ISA, but Jamma interface

That will only work with certain arcade machines. It won't work in a PC.

Impossible. Your friend must be confusing ISA with PCI or AGP. ISA doesn't have enough bandwith for 3D accelerated games.

Is it possible to have both the Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 in the same system?

i have a voodoo2 sli setup but was wondering if i could also throw in my voodoo1 and run both the v2 and v1 at the same time.

is it possible to choose which one to use for glide games etc??

i'm not sure if th is ever came up in the past because who in their right mind would want to run a v1 along side a v2.

this is under win98se and on an AMD K8T800 setup

There's not much point. There's not much that works with a Voodoo Graphics that won't work with a Voodoo 2 so if you have a machine that's fast enough that a Voodoo Graphics becomes a bottleneck, then use a Voodoo 2. If your machine is too slow to really put a V2 to good use, then use a Voodoo Graphics. If your machine is so fast that it even bottlenecks a single V2 then SLi it or get a V3. I strongly suspect that a K8T800 with an Athlon 64 is going to max out both V2 SLi and V3 cards.

I see the description but where is the download link? It doesn't seem to0 be there any longer.

I have to ask. How do you play a DX9 game with a Voodoo at all? DX is a hardware specification and if a video card doesn't have the hardware required by the specification, it can't run the game. Voodoo 5 came out all the way back in the DX6 era, so how can it possibly run a DX9 game if it doesn't have the shader versions required or hardware T&L or probably a lot of other things in the DX9 specification?

Are you sure you can still play WoW with a Voodoo? The WoW engine has been greatly upgraded since the last posts here back in 2006 that said you could do it. The minimum video card requirement is a DX9 capable card and there's no way a Voodoo meets those specs. All DX9 cards also come with at least 64mb of memory on board so a 32mb V4 may not have enough.

A Pentium 4 or Athlon XP are now the minimum CPU requirements, as well as 1gb RAM.

2 STB Blackmagic 12mb V2 with Tennmax coolers
V5 5500 PCI
Just bought recently CIB Quantum3D Obsidian2 X-24
Have a V3 of some kind I found in a bulk lot of vintage video cards I bought last year. Think it might be a 2000 or a 3000. I know it's not a TV tuner card.


What I would like:

Quantum3D Heavy Metal Mercury.
Quicksilver or Graphite arcade boxes.
(These are so outrageously expensive most of the time that I can never afford them)

Voodoo2 AGP (very rare apparently. Only ever seen photos of two and both were of the TV tuner variant. The one without the TV tuner hasn't been photographed yet that I can find).

Functioning V5 6000 (also so expensive I can never afford one when they come up for sale)


This all just my 3DFX stuff. I have too much other vintage junk going back to the 70's to make a complete list of it all.

So far all games I have tested are running grate but a little slow (hardly noticeable for sum games)
but this may be because I using a 8mb voodoo2
Deus Ex and airfix dogfighter were running the slowest  
It has been sum time since I last use my voodoo 2, and I can not remember how slow/fast these games were (I'm spoiled with my voodoo5500)If any one know how well these games run on a 8mb voodoo2 let me know
I will find sum of my old game tomorrow and continued testing  those games
If you have a request for a game to test let me know

Let us wait some feedbacks.

yes let us get sum feedbacks

I just had a great idea
sum how get that DirectX Driver and this 64-bit driver working together but thats probably not possible

Actually, 8mb V2 is not much slower than 12mb V2 most of the time. The smart guys back then bought the 8mb cards and saved a lot of money.

I have a creative voodoo2 12mb card and a voodoo2 powercolour 12mb card and wont to use them in sli with Diamond viper V770 ATX AGPx2/4 32MB and piii 1.2 ghz will the voodoo 2 cards over heat at all with a fast cpu as they have no heatsinks. I have them in a ocuk terminator gaming case witch has a big fan next to the voodoo cards will this be ok.

I'm not sure that SLi will be very useful other than to increase the screen resolution with that CPU. The Voodoo2 was extremely CPU bound when it was released and continued to scale for a long time as CPU's got more and more powerful. Your 1.2ghz CPU will probably just about  max out the speed of a single V2. My PIII 1ghz machine did when it had one in it, but it couldn't feed an SLi setup fast enough to max it out even at 1024x768. The last machine I had them installed in was a P4 2.4ghz and the pair of them were still scaling in that machine. Who knows how much faster they would be a modern machine? Of course by that time there wasn't really any support for Glide anymore so I had to upgrade to a Radeon and haven't used the STB's much since. I'm building a new vintage rig now and want to start using them again, though. They were a blast.

if anyone know how i can get a voodoo 2 to work in windows 7 please contact i know theres no current drivers and i dont know if anyone is making one im cheap right now but im computer doesnt handle any 3d.

there are drivers that work in win7 32-bit fo2 the voodoo2

but if you are use a 64-bit win7 installment you will need to use my 64 bit driver

but I have not used/tested my driver in win7 yet

Where is the 64-bit driver? I want to try with Win7x64.
