v2 on sli without same memory size?

[agrelaphon]

Easy in Greece to find a Voodoo2 ?

Hmm... I'm afraid not; but if you're lucky you can find one for 15E or so

Ehm, now you have a sli cable ( but you need an other V2 (8 meg) or the best 2 V2 (12 meg) (because of the extra 4 megs of texture memory)

(i can't answer in your native langage : i don't speak it but your french words are perfect   )
i found "thanks" in greek but the board doesn't write correctly the words in greek )

thanks

As for the voodoo... YEAP somebody up there loves me :)the guy who brought me the faulty card found me another one voodoo2... But it is from creative and 16mb never used with all it's package etc (pci sli e.t.c)... but i guess it won't work huh?

A Diamond 8 meg + a Creative Labs 12 meg ?

No chance for an other Creative Labs 12 meg ?

i don't know why, but i love pcs earlier 2000. . Not sure, but the guy told me it is 16mb (did v2 had that ammount of memory?). I will either choose betwin this card or a dual socket 7 motherboard.

Oh, i just saw the 12mb v2 (the faulty one). Looks like it has some kind of thermal paste on 3dfx chips. It is clean, but some of it has been left on it... Could the card be overclocked and produce wrong graphics because of overheating?

a V2 -> 8 or 12 meg

yes

well in the second case then, can i underclock it to it's normal clocks... or it has damaged the hardware?

changing "how" ?
in an other slot pci ?
or
the V2 8 meg is now the card with the output to the monitor ?

thks

[skinnie]

now the 8mb card is first..and connected to the 2d card with the cable..but I think the wrong textures was due to the non restarting of the system after taking of the tick from "disable SLi detection"

And now we would need a Creative Labs and a Diamond together.

[aquasonic]

we will see today ! I am getting the creative card

[aquasonic]

It works smoothly ! Midtown Madness II will work under 1024x768 with  fairly enough framerate. The only problem now is that i work with a Trident ISA vga (640x480@256 colours) and my eyes KILL me (i left the pc about 50' ago and i still feel dizzy). I must remove the TV card ! But i don't care that much right now... I HAVE SLIIIIIII

@ aquasonic
Congratulations  
So skinnie with a STb Blackmagic 12m + a Creative 8mb in sli and now you with a Diamond 8 meg + a Creative Labs 12 meg.

We need to know if you did something "special", your drivers ...

edit :

no possible to find a better 2D card ? you removed your S3 Trio ?

[aquasonic]

Thank you! Well i am not quite sure if it has worked... I used fast voodoo 4.6 as is. Some games run some not. For example Test Drive 4 runs great and support 1024x768 as mm2, but need for speed 4 crashes on startup when i select 3dfx, but runs at 1024x768 on D3D... How this come?
