now that was the question..

should i use win98 se for gaming with v3? cause i have a P3 450MHZ 512mb sdram and a v3 but i feal that im not getting the performance i want.. ive seen old reviews of unreal tourney doing 50-60 fps on a p2 350 (guru3d) and now using the amiga sports in xp i get 20-30 fps

so in other words should i put win98 to better performance or is it the drivers is it the os ? huh?

thankx once again for yer time.

ps: now my install is win xp sp2, drivers, and games thats all no other programs by the way winxp performes very well with this config. in the gui area. not the gaming

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I 3DFX LIKE.

ArchAngelCD, thanks..ill try that now but should i use the legacy drivers or the new ones like the amigasport?

have u had problems with dx9 in winsux 98?

ps: thats a nice glide config u have there ... that was the bomb back in dx6.1 days!

thanks again PS47, u seem to e in every thing!

thanks ps47, u should put a permanent link to that page.

ok,i got a p3 450 256mb ram winxp sp2

wich drivers do u recomend.

SFFT
amigasport
amigamerlin

i want some drivers that would work very well in Counter strike 1.5
and if someone can make a driver TECH comparison, maybe there wont be any off these questions ever! hope is no much to ask put ive seen too much confusion and questioning about these drivers somethig like this u know

example:
____________________________________________________________________
Driver Name     OpenGL     MiniGL    D3d 9c   3dfx tools
AmigaSport        x           x         0         x
____________________________________________________________________
u know, so this is an example but it could be very usefull for ppl u just want to know what to install.

I dont like cs 1.6 or source.. so i wanted to play some serious 1.5 fun with my v3 card...i dont get errors using the AmigaSport 3 drivers for windows Xp but i dont feel that i get all the performance from my V3 so.. can anyone help me with some settings for cs 1.5 i have 3dfx tools installed (came with amiga sport).

My sistem is
P3 450
256MB RAM
V3 (183MHZ CORE/MEM) ONLY INSTALLED AMIGASPORT DRV´S FOR XP

divine divinity suports GLIDE native OMG ...i must install BRB..

now for some ´´Hunting´´

hi, i have a voodoo 3 and voodoo2

and instead of trying to get some new games to work..i rather play some nostalgic old games with no problems..now the thing is... i cant remember any of the NATIVE GLIDE games (not quake2 miniGL games,JUST Pure glide games!)

so please if someone has a list of these id bee a happy v2 and v3 owner. thank you.

thanx, yeah i´ll do that(tnt-voodoo2).. see the thing is that i wanted to run the old games like in the old days...that´s why i dont put faster radeon, nv cards in it..and come on..seeing the 3dfx logo before you play a game on smooth 40-60 FPS like need for speed is the best thing since starbucks on every corner, sigh, i want my kid to see when gaming was good LOL, well i check it out and tried all morning and.. i tell ya guys u cant put the voodoo2 and 3 together, since they put tha same Glide DLL optimized for each card, so if i overwrite the glide DLL for the voodoo3 it messes up the voodoo2 and vice-versa. so no joy there..and well with the tnt2 and voodoo 2 combo ill have the best of both world without the mess...TNT2 for d3d-opengl and..voodoo2 for glide...just glide. heck maybe ill buy a geforce 256 LOL thanks again..Great Forum and site i must say!
cya
gona format my rig again

thank you very much!

but isent MesaFX the miniGL driver? or is it to play newer games of openGL?
in other words i intall MesaFX for new games
and i use 3dfxminiGL for old games?

by the way does the Legendgrafix does D3D, GL, AND GLIDE without all these steps?
thanx again in advance.

i think i undertand what 3dfxMinigl does is just puts a file on my games directory or does it overwrite any of my sistem files like the gilde DLL?

Hi Again.

ok so i wanted to get something straight.

When I intall the FastVoodoo2 XP GE Drivers, i ONLY get Glide support, right?

If i want openGL, i got to intall eather the Mesa FX, of the 3dfxGL thing, right?

is this true for Voodoo 3? Using the AmigaSport Drivers?

i dont care about Direct X

Hi ya all, this is my first post, so the regular here:
GREAT 3DFX SITE!

ok, so i got my P3 450 (Mobo Intel 440BX, Hell Yeah!) Running, And i was searching for my old comp stuff, so i got my Voodoo 3 AGP and my Diamond Monster 3D 12MB (Silicon magic 100MHZ ) ok so i installed Win Xp put Service pack 2 (got 256mb in ram) and installed my audio drivers and Boom Searching the net i found the voodoo 3 xp drivers, im sorry but i found this site after installing the Voodoo 3 drivers (so i got the sfft drivers from guru3d.com) ok every thing fine here.
Now all i needed to install is the voodoo 2 drivers. OK i found this site, so i downloaded the FastVoodoo2 XP 4 GE drivers and when i was installing, it asked about overwriting a file, so i did[)]...i know it was maybe the voodoo 3 drivers that i over writed, but i said
´´well who cares, ill try them anyway´´, and bam i cant get counter strike to work now (it worked before i put the voodoo2 drivers)

ok so i got these questions.

1.- is it good to use Voodoo 3 and Voodoo 2 at the same time? can it be done?
( i like uhle n64 emu, so i know youre wondering why use voodoo2 wen voodoo 3 is better....but, uhle works best with VOODOO 2, emu64 junkies know this)

2.- or is it the mixed drivers.. i dont want to re format the PC so that´s why im asking?

3.- What do you 3DFX gurus recomend me?

in other words, should i put my tnt2 with voodoo2 or can i just keep the two 3dfx cards without problems? but how?

PS: I just want to be able to play counter strike 1.6 and uhle N64 emulator. (i know theres a wrapper for uhle but nothing beats the voodoo 2 in this).

i really hope to use the two 3dfx cards in the same time

Thank you very much for your time and patience.
