it's worth seeing the other side. if it's pretending to be a working device there should be a lot of wirings. otherwise it's more a dummy model.
but no one is aware of special drives for this thing, thus it's a dummy.Hank from Quantum3D had it, it is something that actually worked but when V5-6000 was going to go into production work on it was dropped.

Good Morning everyone.
Here is what the server administrator has to say.
"Our DC came under attack during the Ukraine invasion, so we block most countries outside of the US. Our primary business is managing client data, so protecting that is primary, and our hosting business is really just a hobby. I’ll look into other options for you."
I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello everyone! I'll touch base with the server owner to see what is going on.

Good Morning everyone, happy March!

Just to summarize the key features of VSA 101:
- cooler Chip compared to the VSA 100, there is no need for any (!) heatsink
- DDR support
I'm sure the low end OEM units would have been without heatsinks, the higher end would have had active cooling.

and what is better on this chips?
if there are better, why they dont use them on all v2 cards?or if you misunderstand me
ordinary v2 have 500-0009-01 and 500-0010-01 and not 500-0011-01 and 500-0012-01 (think the 31 is misspelling)Ah, now I understand.
Not really sure.
I could always try running some benchmarks with applications that use only one TMU and observe the results maybe try some overclocking but other factors may impact the results.

Do you still have boxes or cards for sale?Not at the moment, feeling I let to much go actually.

These pics make a grown up man almost cry.. absolutety awesome collection!
Thank you! Actually I have sold off several hundred boards and boxes, almost all the retail stuff was let go several years ago and I have retained just the more interesting items. Some prototypes were let go but most were duplicates or variations on something I already had.

Not everything I have but all the loose hardware. Several systems not shown along with a bunch of other swag and arcade hardware. Rampage still here but not setup, guest will attest as they were able to handle. Enjoy the pics!

i want one V5 6000 ...
I have had more in the past, I sold them off. Bargain prices compared to sales today.

Yeah, this needs some serious camera in action right there!
If you like- I had a guest from Europe this weekend and we went over some 3dfx and automotive hardware during his visit.

I am glad to see that the testing still makes a least some progress. Really love the video where one can see Rampage running the PC Gamer Bench. Keep up the good work!
Q3 looks really nice on Rampage.
Anyway I am a litte bit sad. Thought Rampage would do more games without crashing or even refusing to work.Have patience, I'm working on that still.
Edit- I'm in the process of looking for other motherboards from the year 2000 timeframe. I'm working under the assumption that the 3dfx engineers would have fixed the crashes I'm encountering fairly quickly as they needed to develop the drivers and show the progress to any investors. So, the BIOS and drivers MAY be tuned to what ever motherboard and OS they were using at the time and they would worry about compatibly later. So far using the Final Reality benchmark as a guide, the best OS has been Windows 98SE. The board seems to prefer VIA chipsets so I'm focusing my search on motherboards with VIA chipsets and I'd like to try a AMD Irongate 750 Athlon board as well as the Athlon was the most powerful PC at the time.
Here is a list of motherboards I'm looking for.

On another note a tried the jumpers on the board and with one exception no changes were noted.
Jumper P6 will cause a black screen on boot up (no vga) tried twice to make sure, all the rest no changes were noted. I tried all the jumper locations one at a time.
The machine would boot up normal, 3dfx tools showed no change in ram size or clockspeed, DX tools still reports 13.5 megs of video ram, all three Directx cube tests run fine and 3DMARK99 indicates 938k of video ram.
With the 3DMARK99 pro individual tests I was unable to get any of them to run aside from the CPU test.
For fun tonight, I dusted off a spare HD and installed WinME. Well I tried to install anyways, my disc went bad! Since I have a valid key, I found a replacement copy via the intertubes =)
No change. The blue screens of death are slightly different but show a crash at the same address. Quake3 ran a tad longer than usual but I only ran one demo.
Oscar needs to get his board up and running so we can compare notes.
