Title: Need Drivers with OpenGL Acceleration for V3
Post by: Chris on 04 October 2005, 12:24:44
I'm running NT 3.51 SP5 and need OpenGL drivers for V3 AGP. I know 3dfx published drivers at least for its early Voodoo cards for NT3.51 so I'm hoping they were published for the V3 and still exist.


Thanks!

What's wrong with ole' NT 3&1/2 and a bit? Yah, yah, it isn't "modern" and without the MS Shell Preview Update it isn't "pretty", but it's a workhorse. It's extremely difficult to crash it. Honestly, I don't "need" to have NT3.51, but it's more of experimentation to see what games/software will run with a modern enough video card. You'd be suprised how many OpenGL games will in fact execute and run acceptably on NT 3.51. For most of my gaming I use NT 4 and Server 2003, but it's still fun to fool around with an older O/S. I still run DR-DOS 8 in my multiboot ;P

Anywho @ ps47 - thanks for the link! They have NT drivers but they don't list OS requirements, so Ill d/l them and see.
