The pictures were taken off the links he gave. The card does exist, but its kinda hard to say if you will get it or if you will get shafted.

They only have 1 positive feedback point. Its hard to say. I would love to see it though.

Wow! And he's running a P3 w/DDR? I thought they didn't make DDR chipsets for P3s...

It's like that book 'Wacky Wednesday.' How many mistakes can you find... He claims he's using his g/f's account. Digital camera is broken so he cant put up pictures. Look at the bid history. He got it from someone who got it from 'an engineer on the sly.' I think I'm going to narc him/her out to Ebay if they dont produce legit pics soon.

Holy fps Batman - the bid is up to $1975 :eek:

I don't know if this is legit or not, but I sure as hell wouldn't be bidding two grand on a graphics card, even if I had held it in my hands & tested it out on my PC!

some were most likely made for testing and such but never released because the company was bought out before they started mass producing

The few remaining 3dfx zombies that were hiding in a cave somewhere worshiping their voodoo cards creamed in their pants when they saw that link. :heh:

AHhahaha! Someone bid $14,999. I'm thinking that people are now having fun with this guy. I wonder how much commission he has to pay eBay for a $15k sale....
