A Dream Come True : 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 Gold Second Edition @200 MHz

trevormacro · Jan 20, 2012

Hello everybody,

I am Trevormacro. I am new.

I have 3dfx prototype card : Voodoo 5 6000 3700 A / Hyundai 6ns / Hank's Rework.

It's a very rare 3dfx prototype card. Under 100 cards in the world.

I change all 16 Hyundai 6ns sdram by 3.5ns 128bit 86pin sdram.

Here is my New World Project named 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 Gold Second Edition @200 MHz

It's a Full working card.

First modding part :

Second modding part :

Third modding part :

Voodoo5 6000 Gold Second Edition :

Fourth modding part :

6016 marks in 3dmark2001se @200 MHz :

Hardwares :

- Asus p5wdgw ws pro
- Intel E8400
- 4Gb DDR2

Softwares :

- Koolsmoky Betas Drivers
- Windows XP Pro

This Voodoo5 6000 Gold SE is a formula one!

201 MHz passed in 3DMark2001Se

ps. Anyway, I am very happy to see runing my card over 200MHz for benchmarking! It is amazing!

The card runs so well to 200MHz, but for runing over 200MHz, it depends from heat room.

Card worked during some minutes to 203MHz in 3DMark2001se.

When i remember right: wasn't it the primary goal of 3dfx to run the V56k at 183mhz? So now 3dfx got it and much more ...

Your impressions, reactions ?

Best Regards,

Trevormacro

Holy blast from the past... nice job there!

Very Cool !! I love it. I was a big 3dfx fan boy back in the day 98-99 era. I had many of there cards. they used to be the shiznit playing Unreal engine games. It was at this time that I worked for a custom computer company down in FL and learned how to build and repair these boxes we love so much. I wish I could still do that for a living.

I also thought AGP would always be around.

Excellent little project and it has stirred many old memory's. Thank you !

I was glad to see it replaced by PCIE. Having a graphical standard designed and defined by a chip manufacturer was a dangerous proposition IMO. Had to run a GART driver to use AGP on an AMD machine.

Nice Trevor! I'd keep that thing forever. I love old gear. Oldest things I have are a Matrox Millenium G200 and a GeForce 2 Ultra, both from the late '90s. They just sit in the closet but someday I'll pull them out for the grandkids. And they'll just look at me funny...

Hey funny you should mention the G2 Ultra, I have a Hercules Geforce 2 Ultra 64 meg card somewhere in my stuff. Thing is I robbed the little fan on it for a mobo chipset who's fan had gone out some time ago. SO I would have to get a little fan for it and it would be fine. I was in a pinch at the time. When I got the G2 Ultra was right after launch and I paid over 400 bucks for that card if I remember correctly. *Ouch

I also have an ATI Rage 128, A Geforce 4 Ti4600 and a Diamond Viper 32 meg as well. Several other cards lying about also

WOW I can remember doing
2x Diamond monster Voodoo 2 12meg cards in 3dfx SLI. Boy, did Quake 2 look amazing on 2x voodoo 2. I still say some older games look better running on 3dfx cards then nvidia or ati cards.

Mad props!
Big 3dfx fan since day one

*goes to dust off his precious Voodoo 2 12mb card...hmmm wonder if I can run it with my 2600k

does that card really get that hot? those massive heatsinks and fans seem overkill

ssjwizard · Mar 30, 2012

As overclocked as hes trying to push it those heatsinks didn't cut it. Hes now got a custom made FC waterblock for the front and back of the card.

illli · Mar 31, 2012

for some reason the watercooling seems like a more elegant solution.

All Voodoo5 cards including Voodoo5 6000 get hot.
So these heatsinks are very good to dissipate the heat from 4 GPUs.

Do you know comparison numbers to a geforce 2 ultra, or geforce 3?

No I don't have comparaisons with Geforce 2,3 and 4
Feel free to post some results you will find on google

Thanks in advance

mondena · Apr 20, 2012

I couldn't find anything with a newer CPU, to make the comparison more even. I found these, not sure if they are running in OpenGL or D3D:

Would you run the test at 1600*1200 just to reduce the influence of the CPU?

It's not the same demo!
It's Demo Four, not one like me !
