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

[jix-reggio]

No I could not get better 3dm2000 or 2001 scores with SFFT 1.6
With my V5 5500 'PLX', I got a 50% increase in sprite points as it was already said.
Scores were 2% on 3% less than with Amiga 3.1 R11 for example, but ...
I had the impression to get a very very nice graphic quality and
I would have further explanations from SFFT about these drivers.
For example in 3dm2001 Lobby sequence I had the impression that physics were more powerfull than before (amiga 3.1 R11).
I can see more little pieces of wall blasted by the bullets for example. I have also the impression than textures looks nicer and sharper.
These impressions are difficult to share without screenshots or video.
Maybe some users got the same impression ?
I would like to know if SFFT optimizes these drivers for more powerfull CPU's or multi-core CPU's or for Pci-E-to-Pci bridged cards for example.
Is it possible to get more informations about what had been fixed or optimized in this version ?

well, my impresion about quality increase was the same as yours.
This is very interesting with 50% increase by sprite points.
I hope that SFFT will read that topic and also your questions.
Looking forward from some answers from your side SFFT !

@SFFT: you are doing a great job !

Anyway, it's crazy but would be possible to take an 8 core CPU, and use 4 of them to compensate the voodoo graphics ?

Tested SFFT 1.6 and latest SFFT Tools on Windows 7 32bits
Configuration :
Opteron 150 @2600 Mhz
Ram 1Go DDR 400
Voodoo5 5500 bridged on Pci-express *1

On Win 7 32 bits these drivers tested and runs fine :
  3D on 3DM2001
  2D on Internet Explorer 9

Problems with SFFT Tools.
After install and reboot the little icon did'nt appears in task bar and menu bar.
I can activate manually at last in the program>sfft folder
Maybe I done something wrong in setup ?

IF somebody use TitaniumGL and updated to SFFT 1.6, then MUST update to the last TitaniumGL version (2011_05). Old version is not compatible any more. http://titaniumgl.tk

I tried to install the driver for my V5 5500 PCI on my Win7 64-bit system.

It says it this driver isn't supported.

I first tried to install using the setup.exe.

It says the operating system is unsupported.

I tried to install manually via Device Properties, Update Driver, Let Me Choose, Have Disk, but it says the operating system is not supported.

I tried to install with the dpinst64.exe and that says installed succesfully, but the the device is still showing an exclamation mark in Device Properties with the error, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".

ok, so i manage to try the SFFT driver 1.5 in Vista Ultimate with my v5 6000.
It works very good, no problems still now !

I do also run a 3DMArk2001 test, see the results below:



Again, a very good driver from SFFT !

Nice job with SFFT drivers. hmm,m14radu, when i'm installing windows 7 ( with my Voodoo4,)I got just 4 bits of colors. Is this normal?

[m14radu]

No. Its not normal.
I installed the driver directly from the device manager and as you se in the screenshots everything works well from the start.
There where no problems at all.

[ania3Dfx]

Does anyone know if these drivers work with Windows 7 64-bit?

Has anyone even tried?

[m14radu]

Personaly, i've tested the drivers only on windows 7 ultimate, 32 bit edition.
It should work on the 64 bit version too. ( according to the driver description ).
