3dfx RAMPAGE prototype review

I added a few notes in English in the thread about pictures
I am available for any other info 🙂
bye
 
so the only driver available at the moment is a non optimizied WIN 98 version, pretty unstable

btw this is the thread about "numbers" and at the moment you can find a rampage ut shot in WINXP (forcing the installation of win98 drv)
the framerate is low but the image itself is rather eloquent 🙂
the main focus before to run synthetic benchmarks is to find a stability for driver set
😀
 
no, rampage was a old 3dfx card that was never released. based on a new archetecture than the previous voodoos. 3dfx's engineers now reside within nVidia. 3dfx is dead, and will always be dead
 
I saw some info on another site that had actuall benchmarks of the V6000. The thing sucks big-time and was about as powerfull as a Gf2 , maybe less, can't remember. Very unimpressive except for it's size and complexity.
 
Actually this is the light version and meant as an entry level to go with GF2 Ultra

The Spectre version, highend solution, with 2 VSA and 1SAGE chip would have achieved a DDR memory bandwidth of 12.8GB/sec a way faster than GF3 7.36GB/sec

also Rampage chip is implemented with a 13-bit per RGBA component, allowing it to have 52-bit internal color processing
Matrox Parahelia for instance has a 10-bit RGBA component
😀
 
There was a report done on these products a while back. This isn't really new news.

The dongle was never meant to be produced.... 3dfx made a slight manufacturing error on their test boards and silicon and as it turned out made a mistake with some of the colour output. The dongle was there to correct the output and allow them to see things properly.... if the board was ever made the dongle would not have been necessary as the problem would have been fixed for properly produced products.
