these prices should not be accepted by anyone, which is why I would support Anthony's offers instead, they give you the same but being reverse engineered, they come along with some nice improvements. These go for around 1500 USD, an original Rev.A 3700 will be more than 4000 USD nowadays, or more all depending how much greed there is at play, it's sad imo. That way you get more out of it and run reso's of 1600x1200x16 it loves rendering at the reso most games will even perform well with FSAA x4 enabled, put that thing to work with proper software it's actually made for running.Īs drivers go, if using a NTFS platform like I do that goes for Win2K Pro + RU1 for SP4 or WinXP Pro + SP3, then use the SFFT Alpha 41 modified by ps47 & myself, as control panel there are two choices, Kool Smokey's V.Control 1.82b or the latest 3dfx tools Control panel 2.6.1.110:Īre there any revisions of the 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 that uses the 355-0026-220 or is it only the 500-0030-00 (early revisions) and 355-0026-320 (late revisions)?īut still you ask this, even you don't have a 6K, I don't see why you'd be bothered?Įven that there are cards with those 500-0026-320 chips, you best bet is still the Rev.A 3700, despite the insanely high prices they go for, the Rev.A 3400 is ultra rare the same for the Rev.A 3900, which does have a 12 layer PCB, unlike all the others only have an 8 layer PCB, Rev.A 3700 and older have 8 layers and 3900 has 12 layers.Īnthony's Snow White & Strange God AGP models are the best cards that can give you probably better price/performance ratio. Seriously I'd use the games it's actually made for instead Just use the glide games which it is made for man, 3D mark is such an inaccurate waste of time imo, you don't need that to see what your card can do P3's make 6K's run slow as a dog imo, they are too weak to hand the actual potential a 6K would need, many people still build wrong configs for this card, Vogons has many Intel fanboys within their walls, it's of no wonder you were so poorly informed.Īlso why use 3D mark to test a 3dfx card. The early Rev.A0 0700's & Rev.A1 1500's used older chips the 500-0030-00 as seen on this Rev.A0 0700 from my old friend omega_supremeĪs for the Rev.A2 2600 which SK1 has for example, the chance is large that these do have Rev.220 chips, but I can't be certain since I don't know any of the Rev.A2 2600 owners that removed their fans to reveal their VSA-100 graphics chips.Īlso poor performing system you might wanna give that Voodoo5 6000 a better home like using at least an AMD AthlonXP 2000+ or greater with a VIA Apollo KT333 based chipset, you score will be around 90% more rofl. This all makes absolutely NO SENSE to anyone I've mentioned it to.The card you have is a Rev.A 3700 just like the Rev.A3 3400 & Rev.A 3900 these all use 500-0026-320 chips. I go through this BS everytime I have to upgrade my video card.Ĭosts me a fortune, as I have to sell the cards that I cannot use to lwoer prices to ppl on eBay etc.Īs for refresh rate, I have to use at least 100hz.Īlso, I've had two Sony 100Hz TVs. If I use Powerstrip to set the refresh rate, I get sick on all monitors and all video ards. For example, ATi cards I cannot use with any monitors. Samsung was the only one I could use for more than 20min at the time.Īgain, only with certain video cards. I must have had 12-15 monitors in the past 3 years. all those cards have the same GPU, the same memory, the same chips, the same outputs.Īnd to top that off, I can only use Samsung CRT monitors (with that MSi card). 'Cos the MSi is the only one that I don't get dizzy/sick and massive headaches from! So why did I have so many of the exact same cards, you ask? One that optometrists, doctors of various sorts, monitor producers etc can't even explain.īefore getting this, I had a Gainward Geforce 6800GT, an Asus Geforce 6800GT, a Point-of-View Geforce 6800GT and one more which I can't recall the brand of. I could tell you stories you won't believe. Yeah, it's absolutely the rolling more than the bobbing.Īm I sensitive when it comes to refrsh rates? Hell-fucking-yeah!
