vswitchzero | Repairing a Stubborn 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000! @vswitchzero | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 28 minutes ago.
Join me today as I repair a very stubborn 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 that I got from a recycler in the UK. It appeared to be in good condition, but looks can be deceiving when it comes to neglected retro hardware! Some mistakes were made, but as always it was a great learning experience!
