View next card View previous card

A PCI model of 3dfx' Voodoo3 2000. Not much to tell about this board. The design of this board is different then the first 3dfx prototypes which looked more like the Voodoo Banshee. Hence the Voodoo3 would initially be called Banshee II.

The Voodoo3 2000 PCI has a 6 layer PCB as seen on the picture :).

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.
