Fast Technology reported on April 17 that 3dfx Voodoo series graphics cards have always been a fetish in the minds of many hardware enthusiasts, but if one can still be found, it will inevitably be sold at a high price, for example, at the beginning of this year, a Voodoo 5 6000 was auctioned for $15,000.
However, just collecting is not enough for the top masters.
Since October 2022, Twitter blogger Oscar Barea has tried to modify a 3dfx graphics card himself, using a new VSA-100 chip, and then assembling it using various parts and components.
Recently, he finally basically completed this DIY graphics card, and it is even equipped with VGA and DVI dual interfaces, which can display the output normally.
For the display effect of the DVI interface, Oscar Barea said that he was a little disappointed, it was not much better than VGA, but it was also obvious that the picture was clearer, sharper, and the colors were better.
It's just that due to natural limitations, the video memory can only be 32MB, and Oscar Barea is still trying to break through to 64MB.
