And another Monster 3D. This time it's an E-revision. Maybe I have too much of these boards, or maybe not. Practically every board is a bit of unique, however. This one has GLT44017-40J4 RAM which was unknown to me. GLT stands for 'Galvantech Inc.'... > Read more

Diamond Monster 3D (PCI)

Another one in million Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo card. What can I say about it? Check out the other Diamond Monster 3D entries or follow this link to read about my boxed version of the Monster 3D and to read how the the 3Dfx chips work together .... > Read more

Diamond Monster 3D (PCI)

And yes, another Monster 3D! This time it's a Europe retail model which includes a box and game CD's . This was 'the' 3D upgrade back then. I guess a lot of people didn't install a 3Dfx card. No, they installed a Monster3D card instead, not realizing it was a 3Dfx card after all.

Diamond Monster 3D (PCI)

Another Diamond Monster 3D! It's a Voodoo Graphics and will fit nicely in a high-end Pentium MMX or early Pentium II. There are no unique things specific to this card. It has the standard recipe: SST-1 chipset (1xTMU/1xFBI with each 2MB).

Diamond Monster 3D (PCI)

A gift from someone.

A revision G of the famous Diamond Monster 3D boards. It has a 500-0004-02 TMU and 500-0003-03 FBI. The TMU is the Texture Mapping Unit and places the textures onto 'things'. The FBI (Frame Buffer Interface) combines colors, adds fog and is able to do alpha blending, ditherin... > Read more

Diamond Monster 3D II (PCI)

Sort of OEM package or also known as the Monster 3D II Starter Pack. One of the early Voodoo II's that hit the market in 1998.

As seen on the third photo the package came with several games. The real OEM package shipped without the games and the retail version also included a box.... > Read more

Diamond Monster 3D II (PCI)

The boxed version of the popular Diamond Monster 3D II. I'm not sure which brand eventually sold the most Voodoo II's but I remember that Diamond (through reseller Hastec) had enough commercials in magazines back in 1998 (at least here in Europe).... > Read more

Diamond Monster 3D II (PCI)

An 12MB Diamond Monster 3D II; quite a performer back in the old days! If you wanted a game system in 1998 people often talked about the Monster 3D.

The card has two interesting twists compared to normal cards. First there is a resister (seen in first photo) that is probably installed by factory ... > Read more

Diamond Monster Fusion (AGP)

I have two of these cards in A-revision and one in B-revision.

This card came on my path years and years ago for basically free (just the shipping costs). Despite I already had one I decided to add this to my collection too. It won't hurt to have a back... > Read more

Diamond Monster Fusion (AGP)

Monster3D, a common name in the 3Dfx world. The Monster3D and Monster3D II were quite popular at the time. This Monster Fusion was less known compared to it's predecessors.

Despite that there was nothing wrong with the board. It features active cooling and has copper integrated in the PCB (near ... > Read more

Diamond Monster Fusion (AGP)

This is the B-revision of the Monster Fusion card. I haven't found much differences compared to the A-revision except that this B-revision is equipped with the 500-0013-04 Banshee chip. The A-revision uses 500-0013-03. Other components and the BIOS-version are identical.

I do not know what the di... > Read more
