The Voodoo Rush caused my bro a massive number of Glide related headaches. I hated them from the first time I saw one. I remember going from my Voodoo 1 to my first Voodoo 2 and playing the Unreal flyby benchmark and being awed by the leap in power

Loved Voodoo Banshee though. I ended my love of 3Dfx at the end of Voodoo 3's life. VSA-100 had nothing I wanted beyond some pretty AA.

EAX1800XT TOP (X1800 with silent cooling and factory clocked at 700/1.6)
HD2900XT (i acidently ripped one ram module out of the PCB (on the X1800) and took the card back to the store. They basicly gave me the HD2900 for it for free..)

Damn, I've had gazillions of vidoe cards in my pack of PCs. Here are some of the ones I've wrestled with:

ATI Mach64 (cool - a video card!)
ATI 3D Rage I & II & II+ (my first 3D cards were all Reds)
Matrox Millenium (wot, no 3D?)
S3 Virge (ugh)
ATI 3D Rage Pro (much better)
Hercules 3dfx Voodoo Rush (kinda funky for some games)
TNT 1 (out with the 3dfx and in with proper OpenGL)
ATI Rage 128 (still had a soft spot for ATI)
TNT 2 Ultra (Unreal was awesome on this)
Matrox G400 (nice 2D anyone?)
Geforce 1 256 (I was queuing up for this one)
Geforce 2 GTS
Geforce 2 MX
Geforce 3
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 & 4600
Geforce FX 5900
Geforce 6800 GT & 6600
Quadro FX 4000
Geforce 7600 GT
Greforce 7900 GTX

So many Geforces in the last few years means i'm looking forward to the RV670 with fingers crossed...

Voodoo 3 2000 PCI (Went into a P1-166, with 32mb RAM

. My sister still uses the card)
TNT2 M64 - Came with a computer from PC World
GeForce 4 Ti4200 - 64mb (Had to RMA the first one, then take back the second one)
Radeon 9500 Pro - Great card, got fitted with a Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer for a great overclock

Radeon X800XL - Still used to this day, upgrade plans soon though.

With a AMD64 HSF on - great overclocking.

The original cooler, which I've stuck back on, because I couldn't be bothered to overclock the card (plus it was bending under all the weight

)

Damn, Unreal looked good on Voodoo's ( 2, 3, and the 5500 ). I loved that game. Fly by was cool, and great for testing OC's.

Voodoo 2 in SLI.
Voodoo 3 3000.
Voodoo 5 5500.

GF 2 Ultra.
GF 3 300 TI.

GF 4 4800 TI.

GF 5 5800 Ultra.

<--me asking myself why a bought this POS.
GF 6800 Ultra.

dead in 2 months, and I part ways with nV.
ATI 800 XT.

ATI X1800 in XFire.

Driver support for XFire really sucked. Sold for...
ATI X1900XTX.

ATI 2900XT.

returned for refund after 2 days of testing.

Arrowhead · Oct 20, 2007, 02:34 PM

Your Voodoo 3 was 16mb. All models of Voodoo 3 (2000, 3000, and 3500) had 16mb ram on them.

moshpit · Oct 20, 2007, 02:42 PM

NV 7600 GT PCIE Sadly, everything the X800Xl wasn't (fast, cool, quiet)
NV 7900 GS PCIE (current card) Was a toss up between this and 1950

Who cares? I couldn't be more amused if it explodes on you...

Well, I did make the thread, so I felt it's appropriate to make that post.

Oh, and reported. Not very nice to say.

No it wasn't nice. But it wasn't against the rules either. Much like your neg repping for my being right about Vipers, not very nice, but not against the rules either...

You have a PM. Please calm down.

I'm calm. Just don't dare tell me how to post and we'll be fine. Your too new here to be telling me much of anything. That's the mods job, not yours. They do their jobs just fine without your "help".

As I said in my PM, which I hoped you wouldn't comment on, it was merely a suggestion. You seem to get riled up very easily.

And since when does a join date dictate what one can or cannot say? I wouldn't consider over a year to be new, either.

I responded to your PM. Suggestions through neg rep isn't the way to get a constructive conversation going, keep that in mind in the future.
