The 24MB model was most popular if I remember (or maybe it was 2 12MB's). Quantum cards were _THE_ card to get for SLI. And Quantum always had their own drivers which were considerably better and faster than 3dFX's. I believe Quantum was the last major brand to make a V2. They also used the design for military simulators and were able to use many V2's in parallel for realtime visualization. I don't remember hearing much about them after the Banshee/Voodoo 3 release. They could have make a V4, but I don't recall it. |

It had overheating problems and I fitted it with two 1" fans to keep it from crashing (at normal clock speeds). I do remember it was release very early during the Voodoo 2 days and it was easier to order one in the USA then to get two OEM Voodoo 2's here in the Netherlands. I don't think the Quantum 3D Obsidian 2 AGP was ever released. Quantum 3D still has a website (www.quantum3d.com). B. |
