Videocard Virtual Museum

Got excited by Evans & Sutherland card only to discover this isnt a museum, its a photo gallery with almost no info, might as well browse pinterest.

This is a proper VGA museum website: https://www.vgamuseum.info

Example weird card https://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/component/k2/item/721-e... with links to proper review, all technical details, release date, sales brochures, even downloadable bios dump etc.

Agree https://www.vgamuseum.info is a great site. And while it's VGA-centric, they have all sorts of odd-ball non-VGA PC video cards.

Sorry, this isn't a museum, just some guy providing a high-res scans of a long forgotten pieces of hardware for anyone to see.

I'd like to add to this a great site covering an IMHO underrated card, the voodoo banshee: https://3dfx-banshee.de/

oh man i was just about to ask, "what no voodoo3?!" awesome

I miss my voodoos! I used a voodoo 3 for yeeeeears. Had great alt OS support on top of just performing really well for what I wanted.

I used a voodoo 5 ago + physx pci PPU card + modded drivers for both for way way longer than is remotely reasonable lol. Wish I still had all that hardware.

If the voodoo. 5 had had T&L support in hardware I’d probably still be using it as that was the function that hurt it the most to not have later on.

sniffs

Ram them in a dual tualatin-s P3 OCed to ~1.7ghz.

Back in the day we had some TARGA cards:

Omg I have so many old video cards that should be in here lol. When I used to daytrade used all kinds of multi monitor video cards back in 2000 era

Just to think how different this world would be if any of those cards became the successor compared to todays monopoly of GFX cards.

The museum is missing an import detail, the boxes.

This museum apparently includes jokes:

So, typical Russian disinformation.

Usually "Russian disinformation" would refer to politics related news, for example. Are you confident this website (which looks like a hobby project) qualifies as being related to the Russian government?

I can only expect that, because if you just assume "its Russian so it must be bad", I would not expect you to be on HN (rather maybe in some other, more racist, forum).

It was a joke.

I get that, but I didnt find it very funny
