3dfx Voodoo3 3000
View next card View previous card

This is my first 'Made in China' Voodoo3 3000 board. It has a 'Made in China' sticker on the front of the PCB, no push-pins to mount the heatsink so this means it is glued. Normal Voodoo3 boards have some adhesive tape which is sticky but not as hard as glue. Some components on the board are different as well. The orange capacitor near the AGP connector can not be found on the regular Voodoo3 boards.

Despite the small differences the board runs like any other Voodoo3.

Drivers

Download here

In case you want to run Windows 9x or 2000 on a slower system you'd better install the 3dfx Voodoo4/5 V1.04 reference driver first. In case you run Windows XP and/or a faster system (AMD Athlon 1400MHz or faster) the latest SFFT driver might be a good idea.

Those who want to run the Voodoo3 3500TV better download their driver here. The Voodoo3 3500TV uses TV functions which require special drivers. As the Voodoo3 3500TV is unique in one way, less driver support can be found. Most people don't use the TV functions anymore these days.
