updated: 2011 juni 1TitaniumGL is a generic opengl driver architecture that supports a lot graphics cards.
TitaniumGL for Windows needs DirectX drivers. TitaniumGL will produce the 3d graphics with Direct3D. TitaniumGL
offers full hardware acceleration. Software is tested with
Voodoo5, but every 3dfx card should be compatible starting from
Voodoo3.

YOU *MUST* UPDATE TO THIS VERSION, IF YOU USE YOUR VOODOO WITH THE LATEST SFFT DRIVER (1.6)
QUESTIONS AND ANSWEERS:
----------------------------
Is TitaniumGL an OpenGL to Direct3D wrapper?
Yes - and no. TitaniumGL supports 3d hardware acceleration trough DirectX, therefore games with TitaniumGL will be use your graphics chip, rendering will happen on the graphics chip. BUT TitaniumGL is not a wrapper, becouse it DOES NOT wraps the OpenGL API to DirectX.
How TitaniumGL produces the graphics?
TitaniumGL is a virtual graphics card. TitaniumGL's state-machine does not rely on DirectX, or any other external library, TitaniumGL only renders the geometry and the textures with DirectX. This result that ALL graphics card will get the same functionality from TitaniumGL, becouse TitaniumGL's state tracker does not rely on DirectX or other graphics card driver, but still stays fast, becouse produces the rendering with graphics acceleration. With this way, TitaniumGL also bypass the problems with your card's DirectX driver.
Is TitaniumGL a mesa-based driver?
No. TitaniumGL is coded by myself. No external code was used.
What graphics cards are supported?
You can see a list from the tested card on the website. Every release of TitaniumGL is being tested with a Radeon 9800 and a Voodoo5.
What is the TitaniumGL situation with Voodoos?
Voodoo1 and 2 was never tryed. I tested Voodoo Rush also, but it was not able to create a valid rendering device. Voodoo3, 4, 5 tested and working. TitaniumGL's interaction with Voodoos are very good and very fast.
How fast is TitaniumGL?
The newest release is very fast. TitaniumGL's performance is mostly around the speed of competitive softwares, sometimes, much faster. TitaniumGL can utilise up to 4 CPU cores.
What features can TitaniumGL do?
Extension list of TitaniumGL is unique, much better and modern than competitive softwares featurelist.

Why should i use TitaniumGL?
TitaniumGL is designed to offer the most possible stability. Competitive softwares can produce various wierid bugs, even crashing your windows easilly. Competitive softwares cant produce windowed OpenGL rendering with Voodoos. Competitive generic OpenGL to D3D wrappers are not in development any more, they produce mostly crashing with the gpu's they meant for. Competitive generic OpenGL to D3D wrapper's feature-list are outdated, and they missing some very important extensions to run the games of these days.
What games is playable with TitaniumGL?
TitaniumGL is meant to run modern casual/shareware/freeware OpenGL games. So games, typically played by you in the office while you editing excell tables, or played by your sister. Of course, TitaniumGL can run the most of the old iconic AAA games also without problem, but TitaniumGL is not being optimised to run those games. There is some screenshots of OpenGL games at the website. Of course, TitaniumGL can run several other too, every version is tested with around 70 opengl game and application.
