possible...

but i cannot explain why a prototype V2 has less graphical errors in Tomb Raider then a production card... (and i think the few texture errors with my prototype V2 have to do with the resoldered SMD part)

maybe Thandor is right, its "closer" to a Voodoo Graphics... sounds strange, but there might be some truth in it..

You would have to use a heatgun @ about 350 degr. C, heat the chip (well the pins to be more precise) from about 5cm distance, and gently press it when the solder is melted. Alpar

Downloaded the 3dfx version from 3dgamers.com and when it launches all I get is a software version *I think*

Currently using a known good V2 12 MB board.

1) No 3dfx spash screen on game launch.

2) Game stops displaying when pass through cable is pulled.

3) glide2x.ovl DOS driver is in DOS directory and game directory.

Anyone?
