I NEED a Voodoo 5 6000! Shame there's only about 1000.

Did those things ever come out? I thought they didn't exist, although there was some hype about them, I didn't think they made it, let alone any drivers for them!
No they did.
The Rage Fury Maxx (not pictured above) had two GPU's and worked using a special bridge driver used by ATI to interface with the second GPU. It installed the card as two display devices, and worked out the next frame on one GPU while the other was processing the current one.
Do you remember Voodoo 2's in SLI mode? Well the Voodoo 5's with two chips worked using an implementation of SLI mode.

Yeah I had 2 x Voodoo 2 12MB in SLI mode, loved Quake 2 at 1024x768!
They could improve on that though. Imaging 2 x Rad 9800 GPUs operating in such a config!
It would be great, but also imagine how much power that would need, how much heat it would give off and how expensive it would be!Originally posted by Flanderz

well its not necessarily good for consumers to have a 3 way war. it cuts revenue down for each supplier, meaning less for R+D.
Read less new technologies, and that certianly isn't good news.
then again, sis and trident both sucked so if this is the merger of the two, i don't hold out much hope for the succeeding.
