...Please bare with me Smiley

I've been doing a bit of research about the voodoo4500 i'm about to get this weekend, and i just can't get a *final* answer to the most common question asked b us voodoo users;
"What drivers should i use?"

Some sites recommended omega's, others recommended x3dfx 1.08.04, others say x3dfx 1.07.0b BETA, others say 3dhq alpha 6..

Each site seems to endorse one driver and say that the rest 'suck' or whatever...

but i just want this one itsy bitsy final answer, what drivers are the /best/ for voodoo4, and why?

Personally i think x3dfx 1.08.04 are the best, cause of DX8 support. but i'm open to suggestions and/or comments.

Thanks,
-D

I can just speak for myself, the most compatible driver set for Win9x is still Nuangel5...

Iv'e tested alot of drivers (amigamerlin3.0, x3dfx 1.08.04b, default windows voodoo4 driver, 3dhq beta10, and 3dfx 1.07.0b BETA for win2k)

And the *only* drivers that ran the Plus! 3d screen savers are the windows default driver, and 3dfx 1.07.0b BETA Smiley

I guess it needs some kinda directx support that all the unofficial drivers lack, it simply crashes... gives out the 'application X has crashed bla bla bla"
