In late October last year we wrote about a experiments, were a French enthusiast Trevormacro and his comrade Oscar, managed to give new life to the video card 3DfxVoodoo 5 5500 AGP. This experiment is not over, and enthusiasts engaged in a modification of a rare prototype cards Voodoo 5 6000 3700A with four GPUs on board.
First all video memory chips with a sampling time of 6 to 16 ns have been replaced by a more rapid solution (3.5 ns). Also provided a massive fan cooling system:
Graphics card was able to run at 200 MHz paired with processor Intel E8400 running Windows XP operating system and beta drivers. In 3DMark 2001 SE benchmark scored 6016 points . The rare video card was installed in a system based on motherboard ASUS Maximus IV Extreme processors and Intel Core i7-2600K.
The next 3DMark 2001 SE was at the frequency 201 MHz for all GPU, this resulted in 6477 , which is a new world record (for this card of course)!
