other question.. mmm. this card v3 2k pci, have 1.00.01sd bios of 32KB from factory, the last week i try to remplace this bios for (2.15.06SD Bios release for Voodoo3 3000 video cards with SDRam onboard memory). This bios is from v3 3000 PCI card and mi card work fine "in games" with this bios, but in windows, when compress an archive or install aplications, the use of computer some times is slower, obvious I take careful with extra cooling "zalman cooling system modding, and sdram disipators in card".

some voodoo 3 3000 bios are work fine with voodoo 3 2000 PCI SDRAM? or remplace the actual bios with default factory 1.00.01sd??

who is the best overclock program. for voodoo 3 based board and windows xp??

very, very thanks for you help. bye.

default Glide?

quake 3 does not use glide.

quake2 needs 3dgl (3dfx miniGL 1.49) a .DLL file in \gldriver or somthing like that folder


did u try another game/app?

for example, a glide video plugin for a PSX or Nintendo 64 emu


PS: i've added to my msn (palaciosgabriel@hot)

i repair all my problems.

1.- i remove sfft 48 in windows safe mode, then the 3dfx files ini,inf,dlls delete with driver cleaner platinum.

2.- i remove "3dfxvs" folder in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\

3. reboot system and install amigamerlin 2.5se XP, and default glide RUNS! and D3D aplications run more fast, for quake2 i use 1.48 minigl now and quake III default ICD (more quality image and good frame rate about 120fps at 1024x768 quality high).

now i tell you one secret jajajaja, my board is Voodoo 3 2000 PCI 16MB SD-RAM (bios 1.00.01), the card at factory defaults, the core is clocked to 143mhz, with v.control the maximun overclock are 186mhz or something with artifacts.

the last week i try to remove the factoty bios for v3 3000 pci sd-ram edition (2.15.06SD) but some aplications or programs are crash or run slowy. then try with voodoo 3 3000 AGP bios (1.00.01SD) and all run very nice with 166mhz of core clock by default , with voodoo control i can get 193mhz of clock and not see artifacts or textures wrong . jajajaja now, why the bios 3 3000AGP un very nice i say "but voodoo 3 3500 is AGP, can run with voodoo 3 2000pci same v3300 agp bios???" :O, seaching in google I find voodoo 3 3500 compaq edition, without TV decoder, but this card have flat panel out, the 3500sd compaq are same sdram of 5.5ns with my v3 2k pci. with long time search the bios not find . but in https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/voodoo3/bios/roms/ I get at bios fo test, the bios for this test is:

2.15.05 NTSC  
Bios release for Voodoo3 3500TV video cards with SDRam onboard memory.

flash the bios on my board, restart computer and!!! voodoo 3 2000 PCI flashed are Voodoo 3 3500 AGP hahahah , incredible, but is really.

Now the card are clocked to 183MHZ for the new bios.

I get 379,5 Mtextels/s of Fill Rate with 3D Mark 2000 benchmark at 183MHZ of core.

now the new max overclock on v.control is 205MHZ!, no artifacts, no textures wrong, no crash in games.
"only for test this clock" the card run at 183mhz now normal


if you need Screenshot, tell me

cool!

and how about the temperature?

with default cooler?


bye!

i don´t now the temperature with default cooler :S, but with my cooling system, the voodoo have 25º - 35º celsius, not more

see my new voodoo 3 3500 PCI Edition LOL
