Voodoo 5 6000
Has anyone ever heard of these videocards? 4 GPUs, 128MB of RAM and an external power supply? Does anyone have any details on this or know anyone lucky enough to see a prototype? Seems pretty crazy

This is way hotter. For reference, The motherboard below is full width.
Those CUDA processors allow for intense processing for physic applications, games and particle physics alike. For example, when a bullet hits the wall, each shard of the wall gets it's own processor for the mathmatical equations which are required.

Very true. Voodoo WAS the shizzzzzznit! They were some of the best video cards on the market at the time. For some reason, they died out. More than likely shotty business practices as their cards where fantastic. I owned 3 of them until they fell off the face of the planet.

dtn, get a history lesson!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3dfx
voodoo was the card to have back in the mid to late nineties. This comes when you had games using glide vs. direct3d.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_API
My first gaming card was a voodoo 1, it hooked up inline to the monitor with the onboard card. Think of it as really early sli. Then I replaced that with a voodoo 3 3000. After that nvidia had bought up voodoo and I switch to nvidia hardware.
