Real3d R3D/100, has anyone ever seen it?

Yea, I've got a Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro, which is Permedia 2, which should be for gamers, but I'm sure got the Diamond board got strong ties with the worstation market as well, haven't really looked at the Permedia range for some time, I kind of forgot.

@swaaye, yea I've got that Creative board too. Quite hard to find. :)

Do you happen to know the NV1 model number? It should say Diamond Edge 3D 2200 or similar in white letters.

It's a 2120 but with the 2 RAM expansion spots filled. So I guess it might as well be a 2200.

Those who whine about $600 cards today should look back in time more often!! Oh, imagine being the guy who forked out $600 for an Edge 3D!!! :oops:

Diamond has lowered the estimated retail price on all models of the Diamond EDGE 3D by $50 and now offers a game control pad in the box. The Diamond EDGE 3D 2120XL with 1MB of DRAM and the 2200XL with 2MB of DRAM are now retailing for estimated retail prices of just $249 and $299, respectively. The Diamond EDGE 3D 3240XL with 2MB of VRAM and the 3400XL with 4MB VRAM now carry estimated retail prices of $429 and $599, respectively. The Diamond EDGE 3D 2200XL, 3240XL and 3400XL are bundled with three hot titles: Sega's Virtua Fighter Remix and Panzer Dragoon, and Papyrus' NASCAR Racing; the Diamond EDGE 3D 2120XL includes Sega's Virtua Fighter Remix and Panzer Dragoon.

Bundled with the only games to ever to be accelerated by the cards. At least to my knowledge.
 
Interesting stuff. The TIGA boards from the above link were the yardstick in their day. Here's a few that escaped last year's spring clean:

Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro (Permedia2)
Jaton Video Magic 128 (Tseng ET6000)
IXM TwinTurbo (Twin Turbo 128+)



I'm unable to find my Diamond Edge 3D 3400 (NV1) & Stealth S220 (V2100).
 
It's also way long before my time, but I've got some TIGA's running:

Oh, I'll better stop now... I guess there are other threads for such things...
Sorry for trashing around, Tim. ;)
 
Hey no problem Ravens, I'm enjoying every post! :p :p

Those are some great cards man, I had to restrict myself to a certain era, and to only the high end, otherwise I would probably try and collect everything. ;)

That IXM TwinTurbo is interesting, missed that company, but that's probably because they were for the Mac.

Shame that theTseng Labs ET6300 was never launched, that would have been interesting. Can't believe so many companies went bust during that 2D to 3D switch over.

Late reply, but just curious, was Fire GL then yet bought by ATI or was it the original (German?) company? I can't tell from the pic. I remember seeing some benches where they bested even the mighty Wildcats in some professional apps. Sure is a purty mofo you have there!

Hm a quick wiki lookup said this :

Originally Fire GL was a German company specializing in 3D accelerators for professional applications, but after the IBM GT1000 + IBM RC1000 based product generation ATI bought them and launched Radeon based product lines.

I'm sure I can find much more, but I don't have the time for it right now. Seems like it was FireGL's last product.
 
No, but actually i don't really need it.
It's Christmas time and my pocket money (I'm still disciple) already went mostly into gifts.
The leftover will be spend on "more important" purchase like this 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1, which has an Permedia 3 GPU. ;)
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120346902155&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002

Quote:
"The Oxygen VX1 uses the GLINT R3 chip, which is basically the workstation version of Permedia 3. The two chips are almost identical. They have exactly the same functionality and performance in games (multi-texturing, bump mapping, etc). The 2D is also the same. The only differences are in Softimage, and with multi-cpu machines."

Yea very nice card, only thing that is different really is the Bios, I had been looking for the Permedia3 for a long time, no retail one ever came up, so I just bought a VX1. ;)
