Was that ever done on GPU's? I've always thought that would be a great idea!

Yes, but exclusively for internal testing and validation purposes.

How difficult would it have been to do this all along? It's already being done for CPU's, why not GPU's. It'd be very cost effective, making upgrade paths a lot better and the GPU's more profitable. I'd honestly love to have had upgradable video's cards all these years..

i just wonder if it's almost certainly a XTX... also it would be crazy if it truly was socketed...

I am having trouble understanding the XTX difference...

Take careful note of the bottom card... that is considered XTX... but the Black eBay listing seems to be an XT OEM cooler... not XTX.....

can anyone explain this?




This is a real XTX... seems the others are just XT OEMs ...

one on bottom is XTX OEM or just another prototype XTX, ebay is not full of people who know anything about gpus xD

Went digging through some boxes and found the first discreet GPU I ever owned(97'ish), if I recall correctly it's a 3dFx Voodoo Rush. One of the first with both 2d and 3d on one card? Are these things rare or desirable? Can post pics if anyone would like to see :). Recall having driver issues with it back in the day on Quake II, and this was a time when the drivers came on the CD and that was pretty much all you had lol :(.

black shrouds were the first prototypes of the XTX, this shroud was never used in XT OEMs it would be way more known, i could be wrong but all of these shrouds are XTX models

is it worth adding to your database? i'm the owner, need time to modify my case though to even install it
