Voodoo 2 4444SX PCIe

Card specs:

Voodoo 2 SLI , with 1 extra TMU (custom drivers are needed), PCIe interface (on board PCIe to PCI bridge), HDMI output with HDMI passthrough.

The FPGA (which is way overkill for what is needs to do, I just had quite a few in stock) replaces the two RAMDACs. It provides the clocks needed by the FBIs and TMUs for various resolutions and provides the HDMI output.

It also has 512MB DDR3 x16 and 4x 12Gbps transcievers routed to the expansion connector for future use.

In the future it could be used for AA, upscaling, adding borders for wide screen aspect ratio, fixing SLI artifacting, and allowing more of these cards to run in paralallel (with heavilly customized drivers).

The USB type C connector provides a JTAG interface for the FPGA and two UARTs, 1 for the FPGA and 1 for the MCU.

At the moment the card runs in SLI, with texture mapping and HDMI output (640×480@60 and 800×600@60, 1024×768@600 support will be added soon).
