  1. 2
  2. I have the graphics card(s) from the Army's combat vehicle simulator (circa 2000-03)... I didn't plan on obtaining it, as the card was used for other rendering purposes. It just turned out that one I got, had a special additional card attached, which I found out was used for simulating things like nightvision. For hardware junkies, it's Quantum3D's AAlchemy 8132 (aka 8164). Which uses 8x 3Dfx VSA100 chips (same as the Voodoo 5 5500) with 32MB per chip. This effectively makes it DOUBLE what the Voodoo 5 600 would've been, with it only have 4x VSA100 (which was never released). 😊 On top of that, those cards could forget be combined with up to 4 cards per system, and then FURTHER linked together across multiple systems through network cable 😮 (I have 2 of them) The 8132 model breaks down to: 8 chips, 1 card, 32MB VRAM. There were 64MB versions, which would be 8164. A dual card therefore would be 8232, or quad card config would be 8432. But what made my second card I acquired special was it's "Sensor Post Processor" card... It's a glorified Voodoo 3,with DVI monitor support, but it piggybacked onto the AAlchemy and functioned as a "Shader" card, applying this like weather effects of nightvision effects to the graphics the AAlchemy cards rendered. Sadly, I don't have the whole system, like Gary of The Dodge Garage owns (he has a website dedicated to Q3D and 3Dfx hardware), nor do I even the power supply for them... But, it doesn't need a special computer to use them, and powering them can be satisfied in other ways! I've got the special part, and that's all that matters to me! They're my pride and joy! 😊❤
