Clock speed of Voodo I?

[GoldenBear]

That is the question.

 

[Templeton]

50 Mhz

 

[GoldenBear]

Interesting, were the Canopus ones clocked any higher?

 

[Czar]

I thought it was 90mhz.. or was that the Voodoo2.... I guess thats the only difference then.

 

[Templeton]

Don't remember if the Canapus was clocked higher. I know they included an additional 2MB of texture ram for a total of 6MB, as well as tv out.

 

[Warrenton]

Voodoo2 was 90Mhz.

I have a 12MB and an 8MB together in sli. 8MB sli is faster than single 12MB. And I picked the 8MB up for free so..

 

[AndyHui]

50MHz default....the Diamond drivers for their Monster 3D added the autoexec line to overclock it to 57MHz.

 

[Deeko]

wow that's crazy fast. So did it have a fill rate of 50mpixels/sec?

For it's time, it was "crazy fast." It was also pretty much the ONLY 3D accelerator on the market, so naturally it was the de facto standard.

Yes, it's fill rate was 50 mpixels/sec. Voodoo 2 had a default fill rate of 180 mpixels/sec, & V2 SLI had a fill rate of 360 mpixels/sec. I still have a 100 MHz V2 SLI combo in beside my GF2 GTS, which provides a 400 mpixels/sec fill rate for Glide games.

Actually thats 90 MPix/sec for a single V2, and 180 MPix for SLI.
The V2 has one pipeline, with two texturing units, so it does have double the texel count compared to the pixel count(180/360 for Single/SLI mode).

some had a turbo setting for 57mhz

The V1 would operate between 50-60 MHz. You could of course clock it higher without sliders by making a tweak file and setting the graphics clock there.

Of course anything higher than 60 MHz would likely cause it to lock up unless you had some sort of additional cooling.
