Voodoo 5 6000

[L8CS]

I thought I read a post a few weeks back on Quantum or someone else acquring the V5 6000 from Nvida, and producing it under another name for a professional graphics workstation of theirs. I believe theres even updated driver support.

Could it be true or am I dreaming.

Yes, but I do not know when..may be gone forever..

Not much of a dream if you ask me.. Save your pennies and grab one of those $300 GF3 cards. The Voodoo 5 wasn't even a DX7 compliant part, the hey day of these cards is long gone.. The king is dead, long live the king 🙂

I remember the post being buried in another related thread last week but I haven't been able to locate it. I checked Quantum's site with no luck but I think its another company simular to Quantum's name. I'll have to do some research.

Sorry CH2, I haven't seen it.

I wish I had the $300 for the GF3 but you go with what you can afford and for me that means a generation behind.

I found it, but it way out of my league. It's a Quantum3D graphics workstation called the AAlchemy.

"The AA5 Series of graphics accelerators offer the best graphics performance on the market today and are based on 3dfx® VSA-100 graphics technology. The AAlchemy family is compatible with a wide range of leading realtime 3D scene managers and supports leading 3D graphics APIs including SimGL* and 3dfx Glide® with realtime 3D file formats such as Open Flight® and Terra Page on a variety of PC operating systems."

Check out the link. You can probably get it with your next re-mortgage.

You can't buy the care separately, you have to buy the entire system. And it should be noted the drivers are not optimized at all for gaming, these system are made solely for professional level 3D rendering.

They make card with between 4-16 VSA100 chips.
