WTT: Voodoo 5 AGP for Voodoo 5 PCI

[redrumloa]

Any takers? I have a Voodoo 5 AGP card I would like to trade for a Voodoo 5 PCI card. I'd also be willing to pay cash if the offer was reasonable.

Í do have got one hell of a Voodoo5 5500 64 Mb pci, boxed, never used, brandnew

New? NICE! Actually that may be overkill. I really only want a Voodoo 5 PCI for short term testing. Theoretically it should be same or slower than a Voodoo 4 4500 in an Amiga because only one GPU is active, the other one is unseen by the Amiga. i already have a Voodoo 4 4500. I just want to satisfy my curiosity.

unless, how much does a Prometheus cost

$139 + shipping is the normal price. I also have low cost brand new RTL8029AS ethernet cards in stock and cheap used Voodoo 3 2000s.

Oh and I can offer desktop kits upon request:-)

But I didn´t know that the Voodoo4 can run faster than the Voodoo5

Well theoretically they all run the same speed because the Zorro bandwidth is the limiting factor. The Voodoo 5 has 2 GPUs but since Amiga drivers are only written with Voodoo 3 in mind, the second GPU is completely unused. Voodoo 4 and 5 compatability is coincidental, that applies for all 3 PCI solutions.

So far I have tested voodoo 3 2000 and Voodoo 4 4500, and in my setup the Voodoo 4 only shows improvement at 800X600 and up, but it's a pretty big improvement.

-All-

Come one people! There must be at least a few Mediator owners out there :-? I want benchmarks:-)
