PCI-E x8 to PCI-X @66MHz 3Dfx PROJECT

Zitat von daytona

Hello everybody,

Amazing news !!!

I love 3dfx cards.

I am researching new adaptor on web to help the 3dfx community with all news motherboards. I've found one Supermicro adaptor :

- Supermicro RSC-RR1UE-AXL adaptor
- PCI-E 8x Extender cable
- Voodoo 5 5500 PCI
- Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4
- Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8M Cache, 2.40 GHz)

(hardware at default)

Voodoo 5 5500 MAC on PCI-X,

3dmark2001se : 4697 points ( o/c 189 Mhz )

Voodoo 5 on pci-x is more faster than Voodoo 5 on pci-express.
4697 vs 3620 marks.

The best solution is to have a pcix on motherboard like Supermicro or Asus.

Same card, same system , same Voodoo5, same Trevormacro ...

The original idea came from a member from 3dfxzone.it. sorry but alot of odd things have happened and seeing this post again with the same style of bad English being used, it all leads to the same suspect

And oh Feinripp from VA already posted this here:
PCI-2-PCI-e Adapter Kurzreview

This is old news.

Hmm...

Strangely. So, what is all this good for? Perhaps, he's kidding with us?

This is different adapter hardware though. First, a different board made by SuperMicro, second I can't spot any typical PLX PEX8112 chip on the thing. I find it slightly inconvenient though as you have the 90°C angle for this one. Won't easily fit typical desktop machines.

Supermicro = WIN GAT always loved this brand it's the numero uno brand for most 2CPU /4CPU builders also, but I checked the V5 being used look at it's fan wires they are placed identically

Nah this dobey can't fool us that easilly rofl

Exactly, he's toying with us, we are a peaceful community, such members can only damage it.

Hey...trevormacro find another pci2pcie adaptor witch alow to our voodoos to work @66MHz.
I find this great !

So far now, we have three types of pci2pcie adapters:

- PEX8112 - still works @33Mhz....but not for long
- Supermicro - works @66MHz
- Pericom - works @66MHz

Oh look what we have here a Trevormacro fan ... that is so very exciting, got news for you then --> travormacro has been banned from this place, he then returned as voodoo5 and he came back again as daytona, what's his next move? returning as Rampage? or Mojo?

@ Trevormacro, Voodoo5 or Daytona what ever your name may be

--> Please give us a break

Really you are becoming rather visible, due to your bad planned moves, in other words you are truly losing your camouflage ...

Je vous avais observé, Monseur Michel.

Gold Leader
persecution mania???

Probably you are right, I will leave this issue for you guys to deal with then

Peace.

Klingt doch mal interessant. Genau danach hab ich gesucht
Werds auch mal ausprobieren. Und für den Fall das es nicht geht gibts ja das Rückgaberecht.

lg

Sorry aber gerade kindeln hier mehrere! Der Adapter ist klar ein anderer und es ist kein Post à la ich schenk euch allen eine Göttin. Leider läuft der Adapter scheinbar nicht mit PCI 66Mhz...Dafür ist der Score zu niedrig. Aber die V5 per Adapter aus dem Gehäuse zu verlegen is ne nette Idee oder?

it's not needed for glide games imo a good Ole Pentium3 or Athlon/XP/MP is good enough for the job.

Pretty cool that the idea works, but what's the point in it anyways?

Only with so many covertors you might reduce the ram latency alot it would be too much hassle to obtain, pay and setup, imo a 5500 PCI in a PCI-X slot @ 2Bit 66Mhz is the best sollution possible, no need for all that convertor adaptor nnsense and you will probably get the best perforance also Dual Opterons, Xeons or some Core 2 Duo / quad mobo's and give you such advantages.
So why all the fuss and hassle while there are much cheaper, faster and more pracical sollutions

K.I.S.S. aka Keep It Simple Stupid

Peace

hmm it looks like if that info comes from this thread @ 3dfxzone.it:
http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.…684&whichpage=2

Sorry der ganze Italienerkram ist trotz englisch undurchsichtig. Ich bin auch eher peripher interessiert an der Sache:
OT: In meinem momentanen PC läuft ein LSI 320x SCSI Raid (PCI-X) über normalen PCI und wird doch sehr ausgebremst (90Mb/s).
Deswegen meine Frage(n): Kann denn jetzt einer von den Controllern mit einer echten PCI-X Karte wie der LSI die 66Mhz und eine höhere Bandbreite?
Wenn ja: Bei ebay bin ich scheints zu blöd...Wo gibts die Dinger und wieviel muss ich bezahlen?

With Supermicro adaptor + Agp2Pci (66mhz) :
( Koolsmoky beta drivers )

Q6600 @ 3,24 Ghz and Voodoo 5 6000 AGP @ 166 Mhz (default) :

Do you have modify the AGP2PCI that they run at 66MHz?
