The following Quantum3D graphics cards for the consumer / retail market have reached end-of-life (EOL) status:
- Raven (Voodoo Banshee)
- Obsidian S-12 (Voodoo2)
- Obsidian X-24 (Voodoo2)
As such, Quantum3D can no longer provide telephone, online technical support, or warrantee status for these cards. Please note there are no plans to provide Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP drivers for these boards. Further, Quantum3D has no plans to provide any driver updates for these EOL products.
You are welcome to experiment with using reference drivers for your Voodoo2 (Obsidian2) or Voodoo Banshee (Raven) accelerator by downloading and trying various third party drivers from www.3dfx.com. Note that Quantum3D provides no support for these third party drivers.
Also be aware that Voodoo2 and Voodoo Banshee (Raven) based cards will likely not work with many newer motherboards due to a hardware incompatibility issue in the original 3Dfx chipset with a 133MHz front side bus (FSB). 133MHz front side bus is common among many modern day mainboards. Thus, if you are having problems installing or operating your Voodoo2 (Obsidian2) or Voodoo Banshee (Raven) based video card, please first verify that the motherboard for your computer system does not use a 133MHz FSB (try setting your system up to operate at 100MHz FSB if possible) and then verify you have installed the appropriate driver for the video card. Or consider getting a new graphics card such as from nVidia.
The drivers below are the last drivers from Quantum3D for these older graphics boards. They are provided "as-is", and Quantum3D is not responsible for any damage, either real or implied, that they may cause:
