Good results Michael !

There is a difference between the SFFT and Koolsmokey driver...did you disable the tripple buffer too on SFFT ?

You can push the v56k to min 194 Mhz so that you will break the 6000 points wall !

give a try...it's worth !

As i stated before:
- with a voodoo5 5500 i get around 3700 points.
- with the v5 6000, the performance should be theoreticaly double ....so that 8000 poins is reacheable imho.

hi again

i can play MOHAA without problems(and really fast), but MOHAAB crashes into startup. i don't know how to get a console log.

also:

half life only works with miniport. Counter Strike crashes in startup, and in direct3D is a ****en mess(wrong textures, unplayable)

i can play LOS Vietnam at 17 fps (before SFFT 1.8 this game is unpayable due to low FPS). good work keep it up:)

6000 points wall ?

[voodoo5k6]

@ m14radu, @ all :

When I increase the frequency of my Core i7 @5GHz, 3dmark2001se do not recognize it why ?

I have the same results with my core i7 @3,4GHz and @5GHz.

dude what a score!!!


probably you can incresae this socre if you set your voodoo to 200mhz, but is risky. that AAVID Fans are old and slow.

once a time i OC'ed my Voodoo 3 3000 SG up to 210 mhz. i have used a 80mm thermatake fan at 4000rpm(noisy ). unfurtunately that card is now damaged (broken memory pins ), this happened in a house moving. fortunately is reparable using dremel and a ton of pacience.

moving cpu settings only will afect real applications performance. synthetic tests such as 3dmark won't show much differences

can you play DOOM 3 or painkiller with this card?

@ Coldfire :

Yes :-)

Nice

change that crappy fans. in some stores you can find simmilar(1 or 2 dollars) fans but running at 5k-6k rpm using power supply molex connectors.

I just installed the new SFFT version 1.8
Test system: Phenom 9850, 4Gb Ram, win7 Ultimate32 and v5 5500 PCI.

Some results:
- NFS underground - works ok, but i can't change the resolution in the game. It remain at 640x480
- HL2 - is not working.
- Vampire -  the game starts ok, then crush.
- Enclave - some errors appears when i start the game. ( the intro )
- Flatout - some errors appears when i start the game. ( the intro )






The game is not working, after choosing the card and trace the game start to load and then ..exits in windows.
- Farcry - don't start.
- Wolfenstein -return to castle - works ok.
- 3Dmark2001 - works ok, i got with DDI=9 and tripplu buffer disabled the same score as with the older version. ( 1.7 )



- UT2004 - works great.

I'll keep testing

@SFFT:
1.Is it possible to create a D3D driver for the aalchemy board ?
2.Can you add into the SFFT configurator, the Opengl and Glide Antialiasing switch ? Overclocking tab too ?
3.Is it possible to add wide resolutions in SFFT driver, like 1650x1080 ?

Great work SFFT !
Keep up the good work !

Deus Ex - Human revolution

This game can run with DX9, DX10 and DX11.
There are some tutorials on the internet on how to force the game to use DX9. ( DX9 should work on our voodoo's )

I did not manage to start the game. Look below the error i get.



I hope that some power user here can help us.

Hi m14radu,

many, many tnx for your feedback!

Bye bye

[kukucs]

thx , good driver

[Raff3DC]

SFFT, great to see you're back!

But, please, with sugar and a sweet cherry on it: Try to show us release notes of new drivers. It's impossible tu guess what you're doing. We could give much better feedback if you'd tell us what you're tweaking on right now.

Thank you very much and please keep it up!
