This page will show all objects that classify as A-Trend Helios 3D Voodoo. The Helios 3D Voodoo has been made by A-Trend, a company that is known of it's Helios 3D series but also made a lot of cards that were sold under different brands (Powercolor, Skywell for example). As for 3dfx cards, A-Trend only made a Voodoo1, Vooodoo Rush, Voodoo II and Banshee.
This is my first 3Dfx card I ever had (and still have). The card has been purchased on a fair named 'HCC Dagen' and did it's job for quite a while in my systems. At the time I bought it the card was brand new but the technology was aging. If I recall correctly it was 2001 when I bought this card for my Intel Pentium II.
Later on I sold the Pentium II as it didn't run as it should be (Deschutes 350MHz on a 440LX chipset running at 83FSB / 291MHz). My trusty Intel Pentium 133 @ 166 (83MHz FSB, 430TX chipset) was back in action along with this 3Dfx card. Tweaking everything on the PC made it flew like madness. Some of the SET variables I used to tweak the 3Dfx card are: SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=75, SET SST_GRXCLK=57, SET SST_FASTMEM=1, SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1, SET SST_VIDEO_24BPP=1, SET FX_GLIDE_NO_SPLASH=1, SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0. Also setting the GAMMA correction lower (default is 1.3) resulted in an increase of the image quality.
As seen on the pictures this board has a yellow dot (sticker) on the back. Along with the AQA sticker on one of the D-SUB's this is a characteristic of A-Trend. Some Voodoo Graphics cards have a red dot. The blue dot can only be found on the Voodoo Rush. A-Trend produced a lot of boards which other companies rebranded. This Helios 3D card was sold using the name 'A-Trend Helios 3D'. Other cards were sold with a total different name but the comming A-Trend markings reveal their true identity. > Read more
Pretty much the same as the Biostar Venus 3D. As well as the board as the story except for the fact that this is not my first Voodoo Rush 
. This board also features a TV-out chip but I never tested it. > Read more
A left over board from a friend of mine. Hearing I was 3dfx collector he decided to drop it in my bag.
The board has been an experimental board for him in the old days (everybody has to learn computer techniques right?) which turned out to be fatal for the board. This Voodoo2 does not work and after tinkering with it I could not find the solution. > Read more
An A-Trend Helios 3D Voodoo card. Just like my very first card (click. This retail box was either bought by my brother or a friend and I bought it from him years after. I also remember trading a retail Helios 3D for a OEM Guillemot MaxiGamer3D2 8MB (Voodoo2) so I have more of these boxes. > Read more
