Quantum3D Obsidian2 90-2440

Quantum3D did not only release professional and consumer hardware but also hardware for coin-op systems or arcade consoles. For example, this Obsidian2 90-2440 can be found in Atari arcade consoles.

The card has 10MB of RAM which is unusual for a Voodoo2. Also note there is no pass-through option as the second D-SUB is not attached. As arcade systems do not need 2D graphics they boot up and switch to 3D and run the game immediatly this board does not have a second D-SUB. The RAM configuration of this board is a bit odd. It has a whopping 8MB texture memory but only 2MB frame buffer so only resolutions up to 640x480 are supported. Performance was more important than image quality (resolution). After all in arcade systems of the era the resolution was not the main point.

This card runs perfect in a normal PC. Just install the board and use the latest 3dfx reference driver. After firing up an 3D application/game you have to put the VGA cable into the Quantum3D board and the show will begin :).

Also take a look at the pictures and see this board has a rework. A bug probably screwed up the board and instead of throwing away nearly perfect boards, Quantum3D decided to fix them. Well, that's most likely...
