Rare Voodoo 5 6000 video card

http://cgi.ebay.com/3Dfx-Voodoo-5-6000-AGP-128MB-Video-Graphics-Card-RARE_W0QQitemZ300393220766

Not many of these got out before 3dfx gave up and sold out to nVidia.

My God, look at the bidding on that card!!

Holy Moly, with 3 hrs left it's already at $1,666 or thereabouts. Can someone tell me what the fuss is about with this card? I understand it's a prototype and all but come on folks! Then again, it could be shill bidding...but I'm not pointing fingers or anything

Anyways, just enlighten me if you can!

How many other quad core video cards are out there even today?

well it was the last card made by 3dfx, and I think there was a mac edition thus making it the most powerful 3dfx card on mac

Really tho aside from the memory capacity, there was not that much to ohh an aww over, they were expensive, hard on power, and ran like heaters while still getting handed by the competition in performance

they are good at 3d workstation stuff tho

I should have picked one up when they were in the $100's of dollars. 3DFX was a pivital company in making 3D video for gaming, and the 6000 never made it to market with maybe a few hundred (if that) prototypes being made before it went under.

Currently I have a nice collection of 3DFX cards from the original Voodoo 1 model to the 5500 AGP.

I grabbed a 5500 PCI card back when it looked like PCI video cards were going the way of VESA bus cards but they kept on making them and making them and are still making them. I really wanted to have the last PCI video card made. :-/

I have a voodoo 2 piggyback model, I had 2 running in SLI, but somewhere along the line I gave one up for a buddy
