People has you can see @ my sig I have an agp2x system,will a voodoo 5500work here?

yep, 2X is all the V5 can handle anyways...... 3.3V goodness.

skinnie · 15 August 2006, 23:44:40

will it at least play ut goty with the same or more fps than the v2 sli?

With the same fps, I think. With 250 MHz you're totally CPU limited. But with the V5 you can enable 4x AA for free then.

I know I know..I wanted a 3500tv but here in portugal they are very rare,and always had a passion for the 5500 so it will be a 5500
what drivers should I use?

Raff3DC · 16 August 2006, 14:25:01

The newest SFFT of course (Windows XP).

And WickedGL/MesaFX alternating for OpenGL.

Then try the Amigamerlin 2.9 or Raziel Evolution Drivers.

and wich dx do I install? 7 ?8.1?8.1b?9?what?

My V5 is running under DirectX 8.1. but the last Raziel improved the compatibility with DirX9.

edit :
What do you plan to run with your V5 ?

bloodworm · 22 August 2006, 15:45:34

go balls out on the DX. it has more to it than just video stuff yaknow!

Nightbird · 23 August 2006, 00:34:28

The last 3dfx drivers for Win98x (1.04.00) need at least DirX 7.
But right, if you plan to (only) use OpenGl and/ Glide, no need DirX.9
