9800 and VooDoo@ Huh?
I heard some where that if you put a ATI 9800 pro AGP in with a VooDoo2 pci that your 3dfx and other video quality is much better has anyone heard anything remotely close to this?

SHOOT!
If there is anything true about anything like that, I'd love to hear it. I have a ATI 9200 128MBDDR, and a VooDoo 3 and a VooDoo 5.5 AGP sitting around. If I could double them up???? |

I doubt something like that is actually true, but you could google it and see what comes up.

I doubt it as the Voodoo 2 was designed to take over the 3DFX portion of your graphics... I would think it would actually slow you down.

If there is any truth to this, I'd like to know how these two cards would "talk" to each other for this to work.

Floppy... I actually have dually Voodoo2's in my other machine with an 8MB AIW Pro card. The two Voodoo2's are linked internally with a ribbon cable. The video card then uses a loopback cable to go to an input on the Voodoo2, the monitor then plugs into the Voodoo2 card. With duallies, one card scans even lines, the other card scans odd lines. Made an absolutely HUGE difference in its day. My brother still likes to play RTCW on it and the picture and speed are pretty good.

Yep, I remember back to the days of when a dual Voodoo 2 setup was pretty top of the line. In this case I'm interested how this would work since both cards are physically different (Both Voodoo cards are the same when running them SLI) and a few generations are apart.

The ONLY reason to use a Voodoo addon card these days is to play old Glide games.
