Oh my god, the previusly working V2 didn't run 3dmark99 properly, the screen flapped like low refreshing rated and glitters, but the screen shots looked like normal Shocked I've played with these drivers and could drivers be the problem, I tried F1 Racing game, with no problems, but it was older than V2, I suppose. please don't tell me that this one is too broken. This kind of shit eats my enthusiasm. Could the broken V2 destroy the other one??  Cry Cry Cry

Well, technically said it is possible. You just need to take the one (not working) card and trash it hard enough into the working one  Grin

so could it be software problem, how could I clean my windows from V2 drivers to install new ones. 3dmark99's demo doesn't work anymore, because it wants double buffering(or what it was, I dont remember it now), and before this problem I could have run it with no problem. I suspect that the alone V2 works alone ín SLI ??? although I have disable SLI mode

Or maybe it's in the 3dmark99?
I should try Delta Force 2 8) to check is there something wrong

Got today new V2 Grin

Yes, but I don't think that is going to be much of a problem. Allmost every newer driver takes care of that "mismatched" thing. Fastvoodoo takes care of that, as far as I know.  Smiley

FastVoodoo 2 drivers are already mismatched - just grab them and do a clean install! Wink

Don't be lazy! Angry

If you are it will cause you problems with the drivers! Roll Eyes

First remove BOTH your voodoo 2 cards from your mainboard. Wink

1. Get Driver cleaner (older version NOT "Pro Version")
2. Run it and select "3Dfx" and click CLEAN...then wait.
3. Run CAB Cleaner from the "tools" menu - click CLEAN and wait longer. (close the program when it finishes)
4. Extract the FastVoodoo 2 drivers and shut down the PC.
5. Insert the first Voodoo 2 into your mainboard.
6. Boot your PC.
7. When Windows "Auto detects" the Voodoo 2 say NO to the auto install.
8. Run the FastVoodoo 2 installer - if you get any messages asking "do you wish to continue?" - then continue anyway and install.
9. Reboot the PC when asked.
10. Power OFF when you get back to the BIOS screen.
11. Insert the second Voodoo 2 and link them with the SLI cable. Then connect the passthrough cable from the SECOND Voodoo 2 (the second one you inserted) to the main GFX card.
12. Boot the system.
13. When Windows detects the second Voodoo 2 and asks to install the drivers again - continue to install.
14. If everything went well, you should now have SLI mode funtioning!

PHEW! Roll Eyes Tongue

Come back and let us know how you get on... Smiley

do you mean that I have to connect like this instead of this

EDIT: I'm going to change other hard ware to P3 800Mhz +3*128MB +14,7 Gb +ATI Rage xl 8mb so I don't need to clean my system Grin
