Quote...remember the first Unreal games where writen for glide. so lets hope the ut3 team had us in mind.

voodoo3user999, they had us in mind when they made UT2003/4, when they specificaly made the game able to run on a Voodoo3

There has been some debate a while ago about sfft's driver performance in widnows 2d.
People reported having slugish desktop and not so good video playback, so i decided to give a 2D benchmark, Blt Test (http://www.stereopsis.com/blttest/) a try.
Unfortunately I have my Voodoo3 on a crapy mobo right now, that has crippled memory throughput

First, resaults with SFFT 1.4


With Amigasport 3.0 ...


...and with windowz xp default driver

1st winows default wins by a little but consistent margin
2nd SFFT
3rd Amigasport

Tests were done in 1024x768, 32bit, WinXP, Cely900, Abit VA6 m/b
If anyone can confirm these resaults, or point another 2D benchmark, be my guest.
Untill then, SFFT is good for Voodoo3 at 2D also (can be improoved tho)

Hi and thank you SFFT for the great support
May I ask what is the origin of the glide files

Hi, I installed SFFT alpha 55 with a V3 2000 PCI and I've seen the following problems:

- GTA Vice City works but after a while freezes the PC. Also it's max resolution it's 720x576 (16 bits color).
- Heroes of Might and Magic III ...
...
Thanx for the work on the drivers!!

That problem with GTA + Voodoo3 has been going on for ages. I'm begining to think it's unsolvable

For Mafia: There is a specific in game graphics setting that should be changed from default to stop some textures from flashing. I don't remember as i don't have the game now , but i think it was wbuffer something.
Also, because V3 only supports up to 256x256 textures, in game maps are almost unreadable.

HSR?

Rearly used in very old games

But Il2 wouldn't be a problem. It runs far better on Opengl

Have a look

Hi to all
leong, you will not see any difference by overclocking a V3, because it allready has a high fillrate for its engine
Not to mention it runs very hot and overclocking without a fan would hurt it.
Keep your V3 as it is. It will serve you for many years to come

koolsmoky glides with xp here
...I'll also try ps47's scheme

I allways used SFFT with my V3

IL2 runs better on Opengl. You should try wickedgl also. Gives great resaults

happy new year everyone

Thanks for the clarification ps47. I'm already using koolsmoky's glides[8D]. Tried Q3, smoke and blood puffs looking great.
Still like my V3 better though
