First of all, Welcome to the 3dfx World !

Nice to see other members from Romania

Did u try the latest SFFT driver ?
( SFFT 48 is the last one )

give a try and please share to us your result !

Yep, tried the newest but it stucks at the start of the race for about 3 minutes and then crashes to desktop.

With the SFFT alpha 36 it enters the race but unfortunately it's almost unplayable (until it freezes again)

You can also try the Amigamerlin driver, witch is in my opinion one of the best...

De unde ai resuit sa faci rost de un V5 pe PCI ?..caut de ceva timp asa ceva, asa ca daca mai poti face rost de una sau vrei sa o vinzi pe a ta, da-mi te rog un semn )

Ok, i'll try with the Amiga too but i doubt it will run faster.

(Am luat placa in anul 2000 din Bucuresti de la un magazin, nu stiu daca mai exista acum, si a costat cca. 8 milioane atunci.

Am avut de ales intre Voodoo5 si GeForce2, ambele PCI si am ales Voodoo-ul, nu stiu de ce.

. Nu stiu pe nimeni sa aiba de vanzare un PCI din pacate.

give a shoot....

Btw. did u manage to run other new games on you system ?

( in caz ca te hotaresti sa vinzi placa iti pot face o oferta foarte buna )

3dfxUndercover · 17 September 2007, 18:46:40

Hmm..other new games ? Not really.

Didn't tried also. :DI'm a big Quake3 fan, so i play mostly this game (online) in 3dfx mode

.

Anyway, another game that works ok with the old SFFT Alpha (36) is Mythic Blades. With the latest driver i can't see the text in the main menu.

So:

SFFT A36

800 x 600
No Shadows
No Character Glow

17-37 FPS

Ah..almost forgot..i'd like some advice from you how to run Half Life 2 (if possible)

I did not managed to run this game on my rig.
I must admit that i did not try it very hard....i remember that i get alway an error when trying to load a saved games...

btw. after reading some post about this game, it seems that it should run also on a voodoo3 card...of course, minimum details..

Thanx for the info. Anyway, can you tell me where to look to see what's the card's revision number?
