SFFT alpha drivers - V3/4/5 - Join to Testing

[FBS]

No memory error, it just seems funny to run well all week. Then when I stressed to game with a long continuous operation, the PC died on me. It is not fun playing for two hours and when you are about to finish you loose everything.

I want to add that I thought it may be a memory problem because it crashed when I changed views. The (KMODE EXCEPTION ERROR) is it not because the program is looking for a file that is no longer there?

It would be very nice if SSFT will change the DramInit option to make these driver possible to run on Daytona cards.

I had a very small fps decrease in some games vs alpha 26.

I had a V3 on WinXP

Hola amigo.
little mistake, u still haVE the card hehe

Did you do some benchmarks, or simple look at the screen (maybe a FPS counter..)? (spanish: lo notas a simple vista?)

Which game?

@SFFT,

I reinstalled Halflife 2 on my 5500 system (Athlon 2400 & 512 mb ram)and tryed it again with the alpha 27, its a bit subjective, but I do not believe it showed any real improvement for the fps. To many situations in the game that the fps go into single digits, this does not make for enjoyable game play.

Realisticaly a voodoo 5500 just does'nt have enough memory and fillrate to play these new games.

I was able to get Rayman 3 working with 2xAA with the alpha 27 which would'nt seem to work with the alpha 24

@Voodoo5:
try that modified cfg file for HL2,scroll down here: http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1129&whichpage=40
it should give you a FPS boost..

Most of the games that I test remains the same or vary less than 1%.
I measure a 2% decrease in Unreal Tournament (d3d mode, demoplay worstcase, I run the test 3 times and pick up the fastest one)

2% can be random, that's why I wrote very small decrease.... I can test again on the weekend (take some time because I disable some services and startup programs to reduce the exogenous factors)

Ok I found a problem. After playing my flight sim for two hours, I changed views many times but In changing the view I got a BSOD.
Stp 0x0000001E (0X00000005, 0XF2F3AE95, 0X00000000, 0X238C4044)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED address F2F3AE95 base at F2EF1000 date stamp 425cla12 3dfxvs.dll

Is this cause because there was a memory problem?

The second time I attempt a long flight with flight simulator I got another BSOD pointing to the 3dfxvs.dll.

SFFT are only for win 2k/xp, try raziel evolution drivers

[ps47]

yeah,evolution for win9x rocks.I just hope Raziel will release a new version in the future..

FBS the next time you get a BSOD, can you note the details, the first one for the Alpah 27 wasn't usefull, but that doesn't mean the next one won't be.
