Yep it's big, but I really don't think it performs good enough to be 1175$ worth....

i think i'd take it if it were the same price as a Raedon 8500.

I wouldn't. There is no warranty, no places to get help if something goes wrong and no driver updates.
It could be funny to have the card just to show off though.... :p

Has shadow seen this ????I know he's a old school voodoo fan...or was atleast. I use to be too. But you make a good point...theres no one to suport it. and look at the size of that thing. I would have to take my dremel tool to my case again just to fit it in there! It defenately follows suit with voodoo's bigger is better idea.
It still looks like it would be fun to play with. Look at all those fans too !!! I could use those...and that external power suply. what's up with that ? Does it suck that much mojo ? Dang Neat to see but a lost cause.

Currently $2,025.00

Lets see what you could buy instead:

CPU $386 - Pentium 4 2.0GHz or a $264 Athlon XP 1900

MOBO $96 - PIV Mobo i850 chipset or $ 118 A7V133 Via KT133A

RAM $54 - PC2100 DDR 512MB Not enuf? X 2 =$108

Video Card $ 309 Leadtek Geforce3 Ti500 or $179 - RADEON 8500

Monitor $ 659 Sony CPD-G520 21inch

Case $ $ 205 Lian-Li PC-70 USB Full Tower

that leaves you roughly $300-$500 to spare for a sweet H20 setup or the finest heatsink made and money left over for a big mac

Or you could just bid on that 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 for $2025 and hope it doesnt go up as it has 3 days left to go ;)

It sucks bigtime, for the price.
If you got loads of dough, it's one mean beast.
