Hey guys, there's a way to run the direct 3d games on a voodoo 3 2000 pci?

Plz help. I can't play any game based on this plataform! Just the Glide and the openGL ones.

Thx all.

I cant Start game based on OpenGL and Glide, but great games (Like Alien Shooter 2) is D3D. Chankast (DreamCast emulator) is D3D-based to.

This is why I need to make the voodoo run on D3D plataform.

Hi Raff3DC, thx for answer me.

I Use Windows XP SP2, on a Athlon64 3500+ socket AM2. The MB is a Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4. I'm using the lastest SFFT but i dont run the Direct3D games.

Before u ask me, I will buy a video card soon

But right now, I need to run some games on this card.

Can u help me?

Thx again.

Hi guys. I solved my previous problems with my voodoo. It was the PC CHIPS Motherboard.

Now I got a new computer and before I buy an video card, I'm using a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI. But I can't play D3D-based games with this card.

Can anyone help me? Can Voodoo play D3D games, mainly the DX 9 ones?

Thx all
Cya

86 the SBlive and go with something else (anything else).  move the voodoo card to a different PCI slot, not all slots are the same.  make sure the v3 is getting an IRQ via the BIOS.  there is a PCI latency setting on some older MOBOs that maybe you have yours set incorectly?  I think the PCCHIPS is your main problem.  get ahold of an Intel made motherboard (BX2 series) on ebay and 86 the whole motherboard.  you have a slot 1 processor? or which processor do you have?  turn OFF usb if you don't need it!

bloodworm, sry but just now I see your post.

I disable all unused functions from MOBO, move my voodoo to other pci slot, allocate IRQ to the video board and nothing happen.

I formated my PC and got a good performance installing the driver before all other programs. But later I did install other common programs and the problem returns...

Any idea?

PS: I make other topic about this. Sry Guys...

I have 384 RAM on a P3 800.

I think that norton isn't the problem, because I did a test before install that and the performance is very low.
I did this test before to have sure that norton isn't the problem....

I'm think if is it possible that an Codec pack reduces the performance of the Voodoo... What u think?

TY for answer me.

Hey guys, I'm having some performance problems with my Voodoo 3 2000 PCI on PCCHIPS MB (model 775) with Windows XP.

I just formated my PC and the first thing I did is installed the lastest SFF for the Voodoo Driver.

I got some good performance, but later, after install some common programs, like Windows Update, Video Codecs, Office, Norton Internet Security and things like that, my performance goes down...

I tried to reinstall the driver, but the problem continue...

Can anyone help me?

Ps: Sorry for the english.

hey bloodworm, Thx for answer me.

I did tested without my sound blaster live and the problem is the same.

I have a PCCHIPS M755LMR with a network card in one PCI and voodoo3 2000 on the other, and 384 of RAM.

I read some pages mentioning that ****ing PCCHIPS had some problems with Voodoo. I hate PCCHIPS!!!

I spend much time to solving this problem and nothing solved that.

My onboard video can run ZSnes faster than the Voodoo with this problem

Can u help me?

Thx.

Hey Guys,

I just try to use my old voodoo3 2000 PCI on WinXP on a P3 800 and get some problems.
I had installed the most recent drivers, and now i'm using SFF Alpha39, but the performance is really horrible on all games I tried to run.

I try to run ZSnes to see if the problem is with some games i tried (like Zinc Emulator, Alien Vs. Predator 2, etc) and I got only 23 FPS on this old Snes Emulator!!!
When I try to just initialize the emulator, without running any game, I see some lags when moving the mouse. My PCCHIPS onboard video had better performance...

Plz guys, help me so I can use my voodoo.

Thx u all.
Cya.
