The 1GHz Athlon Slot A was the first CPU to reach the speed of 1GHz. I use it because it's a part of the computer history. I don't use old hardware because of performance. There is big difference between a Voodoo4 4500 and Voodoo5 5500 even with a slower Athlon 750 at higher resolutions. It's like running a RTX 3080 Ti or RX 6800 XT in a Ryfor example, it's silly and senseless.

You'll never get optimal performance that way, which is why I never saw sense in such things, as the reality speaks for it's self, an Athlon 850 to 1Ghz is a nice CPU for a V4 4500 or V4 4800 with VRAM mod to 64MB, but too under powered for a V5 5500, left stand the slower P3 based CPU's from Intel.ĪthlonXP 2000+/P4 2800 is ideal area for V5 5500, and AthlonXP 2400+/P4 3200 and greater for the 6K, period correct parts of those days wont do you much good as they were too far behind from the graphics cards being present, which makes building a period correct system from that era rather senseless, that's the actual reality.ĭue to this your V5 won't give the the performance it should be giving. Time correct, hmm maybe, but why? at what point of absolute? Most of the owners of the original Voodoo5 6000's don't even want to part with their cards anyway, as I strongly advised them not after I sold mine, I didn't want any of them to go through what I did, it's not worth it.īut if you do seek such a card you should give Anthony's card a look in to, these are far more affordable and even have some fixes on board, although that K7 1Ghz won't do you much good, if ever seeking to find such a card, it also depends what mainboard you use as well, I am just saying I have tons of experience in this field and have helped over 16 people find a real card and have given them good advice with their builds, people always come back to me for such things. 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. 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.
