Congratulations, you have stumbled across an OEM version of the V4 4500. If memory serves me correctly, these cards were slower than retail 4500s, I think that it was either because of their odd design or they might have actually been clocked at 143MHz or something. I believe these cards were manufactured by 3dfx themselves, unless the OEMs made them.

Okay then, the slowdown is due to the odd design of the card. I know I heard one or the other, just couldn't remember which was which.

Ok, maybe but i can't compare with retail V4 because i don't have it, only V5 6000 and Quantum3D Mercury (both waaaaay faster than any V4 :) )

oh well, you still have a Voodoo 4 ;). But remind me, Quantum3D Mercury, which one is that?

That's the Voodoo 4 L-card, aka loser card, mainly because of it's shape (L-shaped) and I think the performance was a little slower than usual...the Powercolor Voodoo 4 4500 AGP is like any other card today; that meaning it has the standard VGA output as well as tv-out/s-video and DVI output, plus the AGP 4x slot...

Holy SH!T! Yeah, that would definately outperfrom a Voodoo 4, probably a Voodoo 5 (5500) also. But you must be stuck using the Quantum3D drivers? Or do the FastVoodoo drivers support this card?

Not 4*X24 but 4*SB200I (the professional version)
The X24 is the consumer card.

And this card doesn't outperform a Voodoo5.
The Quantum3D Mercury could only run resolutions up to 1024x1024, has a Ramdac 135 mhz and only had drivers for Windows NT...
But it enabled anti-aliasing in hardware before other graphics cards came with the capability.

Of course not (and i don't have 8464 :) ) I bought it for $120. Mercury is quite rare thing but it's possible to find it (unlike Rampage prototype or V4 4200 DDR ) and it's not so expensive like V5 6000 (of course some limitations here - no big textures, no 32 bit)

Very good thing for Unreal :)
