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?

Diablo uses no 3d video.

Thats right, Diablo I is 2D only.
Even a crappy S3 Trio can handle it, so no need to use a Voodoo. Of course any Voodoo with a 2D part can play that game.

Diablo 2 can be run in 2D, Glide or Direct3D.
I played it some months ago on a Voodoo4 in Glide mode, works flawless and looks nice.

Can Voodoo cards handle 2d, Glide and D3D? Or just 2d and Glide?

Voodoo 1 & 2 ONLY do GLiDE, D3D (in win9x) and OGL. Tongue

Whereas Voodoo Rush, Banshee, V3, v4, V5 and prototypes all do 2D as well as the above! Grin

Hope that answers your question. Wink

Yes, absolutely. Thanks!

I read that it is highly recommended to use 3dfx Glide for Diablo II, as the game was originally designed for this special API.

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. Smiley

Keep those v2's properly cooled in that rig or they'll burn. It would be interesting to see fps comparisons on your rig, old vs new. Smiley

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).

Mh...I might be wrong, but I think the game runs smoother while using Glide.
