Do search in this forum , if you in luck you will find it.

Considering only about 50 samples of the card ever lived to see the light of day, the odds of you getting one would be slim to none. And what few have been sold have gone for no less than US $3,000.
Now if you wanted a Voodoo5 5500, those are probably about a dime a dozen and readily available on ebay. :D
ya i could give up my 5500 at this point for a fair price i supose. as for the 6000, it was a cool card but i can't see it being worth what they tend to go for, although i do supose it is still the best counter-strike card ever.
click BUY IT NOW for only $600us before it's too late

good luck... I'm not sure if any of those Voodoo5 6000's worked right at all. Remember there is only about 50 out there, so essentially they're all beta versions of what could have been. I've never seen a benchmark on a working Voodoo5 6000 either. I'm not saying none of them work, but who knows how well they work if they boot at all.
As for the ebay link, that card isn't necessarily broken, but to own a piece of history $600us is very cheap for that card. I've seen them sell for thousands of dollars :eek:

There is a forum poster over on B3D, Colurless I think he name was. Anyways he did something to help 3DFX (dont remember the detials) and they sent him a working V5 6000 as thanks for his help. He has posted shots from it. Very nice :)
Thats one big piece of silicon :eek:

I've seen several working V5 6000s. I would not bid on the one at E-Bay. You don't know if it works, and it doesn't have the power supply that is required for operation.
You may want to check www.x-3dfx.com on V5 6k's. I know of several people there that have working V5 6k's. Just don't buy one that you don't know whether it will work or not, and ESPECIALLY DON'T BUY IT IF THERE IS NO POWER SOURCE PLUG FOR IT! You can't use it without the connector.
Note: The V5 6k on E-Bay does not have the Intel or the HiNT Bridge Chip.

The cheapest i've seen them for is $500, kinda expensive considering you can get a pretty good looking hoe for a night with that kinda money.
