Whats this kind of Voodoo ?

[TM30]

Hi, i already asked in two other forums... it has to be a voodoo 2 with only one TMU.... one guy said, that its a rare budged voodoo 2 for asia?
and some other said that it could be a prototype, because of the yellow connectors and pins on the board...

[ArchAngelCD]

Are there any numbers on the back?
Is there a company ID on the card?
What numbers are on the 3rd chip on the card?

[dborca]

yes indeed! seems a single-TMU Voodoo2.

you see, the lower chip is labeled CK which stands for Chuck - the FB chip. the upper chip is labeled BE which stands for Bruce - the TM chip.

these notations are specific to Voodoo2... funny thing, there was a movie where Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fight in the end.

No, I have never seen a card like the one you have.

[TM30]

than it looks like a prototype... cause the 500-0012-31 and 500-0011-01 is not listed on the page, you've given the link above...

edit: aah when i compare the numbers, my card is between a voodoo 2 and a banshee... (V2 has -0009- and -0010- and a banshee has -0013-

Voodoo 500? What kind of chipset is that?

[NitroX infinity]

http://www.idhw.com/textual/chip/3dfx/chipname.html

Voodoo 500 is the Avenger chip on the Velocity's and Voodoo 3's.

[TM30]

erm... yeah but that doesnt help me

does anyone has contact with ex 3dfx stuff? its clearly impossible that there are no documents, no webpages or something else of my card..

or i own a prototype which only one was built

[TM30]

anyone another idea? or some contacts to ex 3dfx staff?

[perer]

You own a prototype look at the date of the chip.
Even creative and Diamond didn't had chips at that date.

[TM30]

but when its a prototype why this card has the "CE" approval...

but on the other hand... week 6 in 1998 is very early for a voodoo 2...

edit: look at http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/prototypes.htm and scroll down... first retail boards shipped on February 20th 1998... (=week 7)

uh...could it be a Voodoo1?
i saw a pic of one of em, the chips are stacked like that, and most Voodoo2's have 3 3dfx tagged chips
my guess is a Voodoo1, but it might be a concept Voodoo2
