3dfx Archive - Diablo with a Voodoo

LuxKiller65 God Member Offline Posts: 680 Luxembourg Gender:	Diablo with a Voodoo 03.11.04 at 10:21:07 I searched the Net but I didn't find anything out about playing Diablo (I) with a Voodoo card? Does anyone know if this is possible? I read it's possible to play the II with a Voodoo, but someone should confirm this 'cause I'm not quite sure it is. BTW, who plays this (these) games under a Voodoo?

Whereas Voodoo Rush, Banshee, V3, v4, V5 and prototypes all do 2D as well as the above! Hope that answers your question.

ultima God Member Offline Always searching Posts: 876 The Netherlands Gender:	Re: Diablo with a Voodoo Reply #9 - 12.05.10 at 22:33:04 well it is really obvious on my machine, it has 2 voodoo2's in SLI together with 2 4870's in Crossfire and when doing the videotest it prefers 3DFX glide over the 4870's. LOL I noticed by the way that in this rig I really need to cool my v2's, the run a lot hotter then in older rigs for some reason.

no random lockups when running glide games?

I could... but its a waste of time. Glide doesnt look any better then D3D; and for the record, on V5 5500 D2 with D3D works even better then with glide (you can alt+tab with D3D, while the game crashes if u alt+tab with glide).
