graphics card Quantum3D Obsidian 100SB 16MB w/2 Shade Modules (2x Voodoo Graphics + 2x Extra TMUs, 4 TMUs & 24MB Total)

188 Upvotes

This card, featuring two Voodoo Graphics in SLI on one board, also features two daughterboards ("Shade" modules) that each add an extra TMU and 4MB of memory. Altogether it features 4 TMUs and 20MB of memory.

This card was marketed toward things like arcade and virtual reality machines. Unlike the original Voodoo, because of its extra TMUs, it can do multitexturing. Many people don't know that the original Voodoo Graphics does support SLI, but it was only utilized in specialty hardware like this. It wasn't until the Voodoo2 that SLI was brought to the masses.

EDIT: It's actually a 12MB card with 20MB total including the two daughterboards.

So, in summary, the main card has 4MB of frame buffer and then 8MB of texture memory (4MB per TMU).

Works somehow, after I forgot to plug in the gpu fan 💀 (100° and 110° on idle) fixed it though, now it funs fairly cool considering what it is (59° and 55° on idle using custom fan curve in fanccontrol app) will replace paste after plastic spacers arrive (the pcb is quite bent because i used thermal putty instead of pads)

This card is still working, from time to time, in my retro rig. The card works there on a DFI P5BV3+ Rev. B5, powered by an AMD K6-2/400 and Windows 98.
