i folks !

I got Need For Speen III-Hot pursuit, and now I'm looking for Ford Racing 2...

SO, I am impressed with the reflections of the cars in NFSIII, It's outstanding, and the colors, amazing, everything is true....glide is different :D , Nice colors...


BUT !


I am using Fast Voodoo 2 .40 XP GE drivers, there's a registry key in the package that activates AA in Glide mode...I added this key to the registry, but the AA is not that good, I'd like to improve it...

What should I do ? Or there's no way to do this ?

THANKS !

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

What an interesting discution....but....this forum should be a place to learn...so "agrelaphon", if you CAN'T HELP, don's answer the topics, if you have question, ask, BUT ALWAYS with respect, because nobody here is earning anything to help the comunity !

This discution is useless....for all of us...

So please, i'm not a Admin. or Moderator, i'm a common member, so I do not have any HUGE power here....but this is all I ask !

BACK TO WHAT MATTERS !

:D :D :D

Can I make Voodoo work in DIRECT3D and OPENGL too ? Or only in glide ?

What should I do to make it ?

THANKS !

Hi people !!!

I have some questions for ya...

1) Does GTA 3 has an OPENGL engine ? If it does, how do I use it ?
2) Tell me some old nice GLIDE games (up to 1999).
3) I'm having a problem with Quake 3 ARENA. Here it is:
  When I ajust the graphics settings to Voodoo opengl, i can play, the image is fine, everything is right, BUT when I try to close the game, to get back to Windows, a strange thing happens, the credits images stays in the screen, and the mouse pointer doesn't move. The keyboard is useless. So the way to make the computer work again is pressing the power button to turn off ( TURN OFF CORRECTLY, NOT JUST POWER OFF ). I use a Voodoo 2 PCI1000 8MB with the Fast Voodoo 2 XP GE Drivers, with the correction. The Voodoo 2 is connected to a GF4, the GF4 is using the Detonator 45.23 WHQL Driver.


THANKS !

Hi Folks !

I have here an GEFORCE4 MX440, and a VOODOO 2 PCI1000.

I put GF4 to work with Voodoo 2 togheter....Just by connecting the VGA cable. Fron GF4 to Voodoo 2 and From Voodoo 2 to the Display.

What I wanted was to make Voodoo 2 to render ONLY Glide graphics. And the DIRECT3D or OPENGL ones, to be rendered by GF4. Ok, I installed Fast Voodoo 4 GE, and the correction Patches.
Ok, till now, everything is right.

So, I put the PC in TOTAL IDLE, and checked the temperatures....well, i checked them with my fingers....eheheh
In idle mode GF4 and Voodoo were cold.

So I download a TECH DEMO here in 3dfxzone.it, and runned it.
The GF4, was warm, and Voodoo 2 was really hot.

Then I ran a game In Direct3d mode (wich have to be rendered by GF4), right, Voodoo got cold, GF4 hot.

I Runned UNREAL GOLD in Glide mode, then GF4 got a little more than warm, a little hot, and Voodoo 2 was in the same temperature than GF4.

I made this "home-made" or better "finger-made" temperature measuring to verify the activity in each Video Board. To know witch one was with the bigger load, the one that was working more...

I did it to make sure that Vooddo 2 was rendering in GLIDE mode, because, my GF4 works with GLIDE too, the image gets a Little strage, with very small points all over the screen...etc....strange....

So I verified the Image quality, took off Voodoo 2 and left only GF4, and Runned Unreal Gold in GLIDE mode, ok, the image was strange in the same way...Runned in DIRECT3D, ok worked right....normally....

Ok now.....I put the Voodoo 2 and runned Unreal in GLIDE MODE, the Image was with very high quality, no errors, no points, and nice colors....Then...I runned in DIRECT3D with Voodoo 2, Voodoo 2 was not working anymore....GF4 was doing all the work, Voodoo 2 wasn't doing anything...

ALL THE TESTING IN VOODOO 2 AND GF4 WAS MADE WITH ANTI-ALISING ENABLED.

So....finally, after all the testing, the final questions:

1-Is Voodoo 2 really rendering in GLIDE or GF4 is doing all the work ?
2-Is this really Glide ?
3-Does all this testing comproves what I wanted ( Voodoo 2 only rendering in Glide) ?????
4-A friend of mine told me that may be GF4 was DOING the work with the textures, and Voodoo 2 renders the images...Can this be really happening ???


Any comments POST !

Yes...I know that...

BUT, i mean.....the fact of the GeForce that already has 3d aceleration stay connected to GF4 MX440 that is an 3d acelerator card, can bring any problem ?

Any risc ? Nothing ?

THANKS !

Thanks !

Hi folks !

I have here a GeForce 4 MX440 and a Voodoo 2 PCI.

I'd like to put VOODOO 2 to work with GF4, just by conecting the VGA cable.

Do I need any Special Driver ?

Just to stay clear, the GF4 has 3d aceleration, BUT i'd like to render 3D Images with Voodoo 2 only with GLIDE API games, such as Tatical Ops and Unreal Gold, these games let me chose the API that i want to use...

So. What do I have to do ? Just Connect the Cards and Install the Voodoo 2 Driver and RUN ?

Or do I need anything else ?


THANKS !
