That's bad, but that aside - It might be time to consider alternate power delivery to these cards. The power they need should warrant having a standard c13 plug directly on em or something.
Who would've thought.... 3DFX was apparently ahead of its time...
Is this the fabled Bitchin' Fast 3d?
I love the IDE connector on the front of the card itself.
That IDE connector was for SLI...
A mini fusion drive, perhaps?
Power the house with it when not using the PC, but expect brown outs when gaming.
Four of the standard 8 pin PCIe power connectors would work well.
The new connector really should have used some large blade contacts to handle 50 amps.
