Owning a V56k - Day One

Hello there and congratulate

It's everytime very nice to see a card in the hands of an carefull owner, this is really where they belong !
Hope you get your baby up and running as soon as possible and enjoy many hours of good old gaming =)

I also thought many times about searching or bidding for one of these masterpieces, but since today for my taste they are just to expensive. I don't have trouble with my money or something like that but I just like to play on my V2 SLI rig and spend that amount on other hobbies. But good to see that there are still some collectors who buy the cards from ebay and take care about them

Congratulations RazrX and welcome to the V6K community mate. I have added you to the world V6K Lists:

mir gefällt das erste bild am besten!

Welcome to the community and congratulations on now owning one of the very, very few unmodified Rev.3700-A cards, which still work in a stable manner. My own 3700-A needed the PCI Rework to not crash with active FSAA...

Additionally, the card is numbered, which makes it a little bit easier to trace back its history!

Do you already have all the necessary information about motherboard compatibility? If not or if unsure, there are lots of people in this forum who can provide information about AMD and Intel based motherboards who work quite safely with the v5 6000.

Again, welcome!

nice pics of a very beautiful card

I use a Tyan S2466 Server Mainboard for my 6k. This Board has a Dual-Socket A and the AMD 760 MPX chipset. I think this is one of the best options.

I have a Win 98se and WinXP dual boot configuration. Win 2000 is not a bad choice. But i think Win98 is faster with older games.

But mostly i use WinXP. But the opinions about this an about the drivers are divided. And its from the games depended.

I'm using an Intel OR840, which is a Dual Slot-1 i840 Rambus board, currently running with a single P-III S 1.4GHz.

OS config is Win98SE + Win2000.

The board Obi suggested is one of the most well-known options for the 6000 and surely a safe bet.

PS.: The second one of those new pics looks quite stunning!

What does the tag say? I can´t exactly read... passed 1.16 @ 183 MHz? or 153?

This is Agent500's card, so it should be PASS @ 183MHz for BIOS version 1.16 and PASS @ 166MHz for BIOS version 1.18.

What kind of RAM?

Rev A 3700 always has 6ns Hyundai, afaik

€: btw, nice card razrx, you surely will build up a nice system for it.

Zitat

Unfortunately, work and sleep take up most of my day, so I haven't been able to install the card yet. I think my case is too small as a mid-size won't do. I either need to Dremel the inside of my case or get a new case.

Ah well I guess the case won't be the problem right?

Congratz to you. I really like the 3Dfx stickers which you put onto the fans.

hey razrx, i found some interesting pics with your card on hutzeputz's page:
