D3 on a SLI V2

Oh man that was ugly. But surprisingly those low-res textures did their heads better than the high-res ones. Not the faces... just the heads.
 
Uh, yea. You know what? I very much dislike it when people use emoticons. If you are unable to connote with words alone, you don't deserve to be writing (or typing for that matter).

Aw, did I make the little baby 🙁 ?

You should learn to 🙂 more and enjoy a frosty mug of :beer:. If that's not your particular barrel of :wine:, maybe you should get out in the :sun:light more and enjoy the beautiful :camera:s and :music:s the world has to offer you. The real world's pretty 😎 if you just open up your :heart: and let it in.

Have a :thumbsup: day.

That's what emoticons were designed for. Communicating without words. If you have a problem deciphering these strange pictures, you don't deserve to post on forums(or go on the internet for that matter).

So THAT'S what they were designed for! I was alway wondering. Did it ever occur to you that I know what they're for, and understand them, and very-much-dislike them anyway?
 
Am I understanding this right - they used 2 voodoo cards on SLI? I thought SLI was only a feature one new cards?

Those of you that can remember the old Voodoo 2 card created by 3DFx will know all about SLI. It was in its day, the day of the Voodoo 2 a great feature for the gamer. The basics are that it allowed two voodoo 2 cards to be linked together by an external cable. This would allow the user to utilize the power of both graphics cards at the same time. This made the Voodoo 2 an instant hit and was the most popular graphics card of its time. However SLI never featured again, that is until now. The new Geforce 6800 series from Nvidia has re-launched this technology which they acquired when the bought out 3Dfx. Now SLI is back with a vengeance and ready to power many top end systems to unbelievable frame rates.

Why is It called Scan Line Interleaving?
SLI was named Scan Line Interleave because of the way that the original system worked on the Voodoo 2. The way the Voodoo 2 worked in an SLI situation was quite a complex one. You may be aware that the Voodoo 2 cards had to have a separate 2D graphics card as well in order to display the normal pictures on screen. The Voodoo 2 was simply an accelerator. This means that the system with a Voodoo 2 SLI configuration would have 3 graphics cards inside the case. Once the 2D graphics card determined that the information it received needed to go to the 3D graphics card for processing it would send out the data to the Voodoo 2 cards. In an SLI configuration the cards would separate the data between them.

The first graphics card would only process the odd lines of the image 1,3,5,7 etc and all the even lines would be send to the second card for processing. this would then be send back and merged or "interleaved". This is how the technology got the name Scan Line Interleaving.

Ah, that's pretty cool. I assume those pins at the top of my voodoo3 3000 are for SLI then. If so I'm going to buy another one, just so I can give my old K6-2 mobo a boost.

Afraid not. Only the Voodoo2 series supported SLI - the V3 pins like those on many other boards are for strange daughtercards that never made it to mass-market, and internal testing purposes.

And if you're actually still using a K6-2/V3 for gaming ... I'm truly sorry for you. 🙁

Ugh. You're still using emoticons. I lose.
 
Yeah, I just read up. I have a habit of asking first then researching later, sorry about that lol
Cheers.

I bought a new PC a few months ago, my K6 setup is in mothballs at the moment. Still trying to find a K6-3 CPU for it. Don't knock my old PC, btw, it runs Unreal Tournament and Driver very well.

Evidently, you <don't> understand the point of emoticons. A large proportion of communication is done through tone of voice and body language - emoticons transmit this information.

Just saying "Yes" could mean any of:

Yes 🙂 (I agree, this is a good thing)
Yes 🙁 (I agree, this is a bad thing)
Yes :roll: (I don't agree, you fool)

And without emoticons you wouldn't be able to tell which.

So yes, we should all stop using emoticons. :roll:

I find myself quite capable of kenning the connotation behind the text of people who don't use emoticons. I guess I'm just a genius.

Edit: Just to clarify my last sentence. I think it's great to be a genius (as I am one and can appreciate that). I realize that not everyone can be a genius, and for that I am very happy.

LOL. Good work M4H.
 
Kogase STFU. Your being a big baby! Grow up.

You do know you could have shortened that paragraph you just wrote by eliminating the explanation and just using an emoticon. 🙂

Uh oh emoticon, dont cry now 😛

For the article that is awesoem that those cards can still run those games. I still have a V2, i thought it was so awesome when they came down to $100. The only problem (I was like 8 years old) was the Voodoo 2 was paired with a 2mb Number 9 card and a Cyric 166+. Good times.
