3DFX Voodoo 5 6000 spotted.

I use to have a Voodoo3 2000, it was in my old Dell. But my brother gave it to one of his crackbaby friends.
 
One could buy a piece of gaming history...

Wouldnt fit in my box though :)
 
it was and still is considered the best graphic card ever made.
 
Comparing the Voddo 5 6000 to a 9800 is like comparing a riced out honda to a GTO
 
seriously guys.. i miss 3DFX :|

the competition was more fierce with 3 companies back then (hell back than even Matrox was competitive) but now we are left with mainly 2 major choices and theres no 3rd company to drive down some of the pricing..

i always believed that 3DFX made very competitive cards and gave u the best bang for ur buck.. its too bad Nividia had to go ruin that by buying 3DFX out.. its a shame that we end users don't benefit because theres less competition.
 
i remember hearing about how good voodoo cards were, and all that stuff, even before i owned a computer... i wanted a computer for years when i was younger...
my parents waited to get a computer once a 400mhz celeron was the biggest baddest computer from gateway :-/
8mb built in intel video...
64mb ram...
:: some days i just want to build and buy old computers so i know what they were like...
386, 486.. a 233mhz w/ voodoo card...
:: i always feel like im missing something because i never experienced those ages of computers.
---- oh and.... THAT CARD LOOKS SO FLIPPIN KEWL.... i would want to play with it (test it in everyway), for awhile, then put it back in a case and keep it mounted...
- also... overclocking that thing, is it possible? all the owners of that card probably wouldnt overclock it because, well, they wouldnt wanna hurt there baby.
 
Those ages of computers were a little different.

I went from a 486 playing all the good old DOS games I had (Chess, Checkers, some crappy flight sims, but everything was sooooooooo cool back then), then, the next big upgrade I got was a P133. Wow. Windows 95.. 16MB EDO RAM, 8x CD-Rom drive, 2GB HD.. was an EXPENSIVE system, no idea why my dad bought it. It was top of the line at the time.

I still have that system. Trust me, you're not missing out on anything. Back in the day, 133MHz seemed fast to me, and Windows 95 seemed bug free.

I installed Windows 98 the other day on my 1.2GHz, that's bad enough. I can't imagine hooking up my P133 with Windows 95, it'd be sickening. Things seemed better back on those days, guess you just get jaded... :)
 
i have a voodoo5 5000 it hink or is it 6000, well not me my cousin does, its stashed away somewhere, had trouble getting it to work or somethign cant remember, wait a second so i do owna piece of history!!!


AND THE BIDDING BEGINS!! contact me if u wanty wanty

that was my card before i got the 9600 Pro, 128mb one im using right now :)

the Voodoo is packed away.. i loved it for itself 5 years that it entertained me :)

/me pets 9600 i lub j00 too :E
 
I went..

Onboard video > Voodoo Banshee > Riva TNT2 Mach64 > GeForce 2 > GeForce3 Ti200 > Radeon 9700

The TNT2 Mach64 was such a horrible card, stupid Mach series :x

Actually, I still use the Mach64 on my server computer (apache/printer, also used as a family computer for web browsing and scanning), no gaming goes on, but works wonders as a display card (gee, wonder why ;))! :) lol
 
ATI 3D rage > S3 Virge > S3 Virge + 3DFX > Geforce 2mx > Radeon 9700

Man those first two cards were crap even when they were first released. I remember all the babble about S3 Vrige being a 3D card, rofl... and it came with an optimised version of POD. Anyone remember that awsome looking game (at the time). Man it was supremely crap... like steering an oil tanker.

That's actually somewhat similar to my route.

S3 Virge > S3 Virge + Voodoo1 > TNT2 > GeForce 2mx > GeForce FX5600.

The S3 Virge a 3D card? No way. I remember playing Quake2 in 320x200 (software) on that videocard with shockingly low framerates.
 
no seriously... it claimed to have some 3d capabilities...

the "rofl" was to indicate it was crap :)
 
Ahem. Integrated SiS (Stupid integrated Shit) -> Monster3D -> GeForce2 MX400.

Man. That Voodoo looks like it could kill someone. Four graphics chips? Woah. That's, like... intense.

Would it run HL2?:E:E:E

There are voodoo drivers with DX9 compatability, so in theory, yes :)
 
The Voodoo5 was once supposed to compete with the GeForce1, so it should be faster then a TNT2. And since a TNT2 is capable of running HL2 it should work, although with low detail settings.
 
The 6000 is about as fast as a Geforce 2 Ultra in Quake III and Unreal Tournament... It especially shines when you use FSAA (its much faster then). But it only got half as much 3D marks, so there you go :)
 
Doesn't look like anything that I'd waste 500 bucks on. I'd rather buy a 9800XT instead of that thing :D.
 
I remember me and my friend scrounged enough cash to get a video card, we got a Voodoo 2, we had to share it though....
 
U mustve had a open case or something to take it out and in all time
