I'm surprised you didn't tell him it was a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI Rev. C 16mb SDRAM EtronTech version w/modded MOSFET cooler.....

Here is a vintage Riva TnT2 32mb agp card. I keep it just for laughs. I also have an old ati rage pro turbo pci and an S3 trio 64v pci card that I don't have pictures of.

The cooling setup, or my video cards in general? I love the heatsink, its huge and purdy, they do reccomend the fan for 9800s and up, so it runs a little hot, but im not overclocking it and my case has pretty good airflow. As for the setup in general, my only complaint is that i cant move the TV to my second monitor. I dont know if it would work, but if you wanted a setup like mine (dual heads and TV) you could possibly get a regular card, run duals off that and get a pci TV wonder card, but i honestly dont know if that would work any better if at all.

3DLabs Wildcat Realizm 200 (512MB GDDR3), with the card brace removed so that it would fit in the case.

an old 8 mb sdr AGP Riva 128/ the HSF will be put on once i get some money, and j-dogg, i lapped the HSF for the voodoo card, im just waiting for a few buxs for some thermal glue

keat320 · 11-February-05, 06:37 AM

I read somewhere that the 3ds Labs 512mb Wildcats really aren't that good for gaming, about as good as a 6800GT, but cost a TON more. They are really designed for, and excel in, image stuff, you know, 3d design, photoshop, all that stuff. They are suppsoed to be for graphic pro's who really need the performane for rendering models and such.

Huh? I thought the workstation GPU's actually perform much worse than thier 1/5th-of-price AGP/PCI-E equivalent simply because they don't make optimised drivers for them, being that gaming was not in mind in the first place when most workstation GPU's are deseigned.

Yup. You won't be doing any serious gaming at all with a 3DLabs card.

I never said I used that computer primarily for gaming.

Based on the looks of the screenshot in this thread, I'd say that's not shabby performance for an old 3DLabs graphics card that costs just under $100 on ebay (although I'd be somewhat hard pressed to find a consumer-grade mobo with AGP-pro).

I don't have it, but I can tell you what I would LIKE to get though:

Either of these would work for me:

http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/graphics/xvr4000/

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver.../gxt6500p.html

http://www.sgi.com/products/workstat.../graphics.html

The first of which has 144 MB of frame buffer memory, 1GB just for textures, and consume a nominal 238 W of power.

*yippee!!!*

The second, while little is known about it, other than that it is IBM's top-of-the-line offering and has 108 MB for textures, and 128 MB for frame buffer. Not an all-time high, but respectable. I am sure that would be plenty to keep Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Applications Version 5 (CATIA V5) happy...at least on the workstations.

Course, a VPro V12 would also be nice. Again, not the record setter for total available memory on board, but it'll probably FLYYYYY when it comes to working with it.

Notes:
1) You can actually google the SGI Vpro series and you will find pictures of a Vpro V10. It is a little confusing, but it's the ENTIRE thing sitting at the bottom of the case that forms the "video card".

2) If that isn't enough, you can always try the following on for size: http://www.sgi.com/products/visualiz...x3000/ir4.html
