Voodoo3, Best driver combo /yet/
03.05.03 at 23:46:02  
So what about it? What's the best combo of drivers/glide/tools/settings to use on an XP machine that holds a voodoo3?

At the moment i'm with 3dhq beta10, using the 2610 glides by koolsmoky.

amiga's 2.5se gives me corrupted glide resolutions, so i don't use them, but the 3dhq drivers give me dark opengl (Jedi Knight2) and corrupted resolutions in opengl games (RtCW, Q3, JK2, and so forth)

If it will allow me to run Q3 games and UT games with 1024*768 without any problems, i'll go for it  Wink

EDIT:
Seems like there's only a 9x kit by mikepedo.. and i'm on XP  Sad

Well essentialy the 3dhq beta10 for v3/xp are the beta4 (best driver yet in my opinion) with the new koolsmoky glides.
Erm amigamerlin seems to give me corrupted glide3x on just about every version i tried (2.0 / 2.5 / 2.5SE) and that's not good since the game i mostly play is TacticalOps, which is UT engine..
The Dozer sets are just a big pile o` sh*t. nothing works on those.
Um mikepedo never tested.. i'm on xp system, and they are 9x.
Omega tried once, worked like a charm, but they are very slow  Cry
x-3dfx lack the new glides by KS or colourless, but are generally compatible with almost anything..
Other than that i still can't fix that damn JK2 dark bug, and corrupted opengl resolutions Sad

Man we really need new drivers that will fix everything  Cry

Yeah, dozer 1.0 and 1.1...
o lord they have so many useless options in the inf's .. nothing is even implemeted..

Worst thing is that they don't even run 1 thing normally.. other drivers do that atleast..

Yeah tried them, they give me horrible flickering in OpenGL, RtCW and JK2 especially (the skies in JK2, and corner walls in RtCW are most noticable)

Yep, I just simple use AmigaMerlin's With WickedGL to play Jedi Outcast. The only problem with it is that you cant change the brightness. There's no lines in the walls or sky if you have it.  8)

On a sidenote -

AmigaMerlin announced a new Driver being in the works on the x-3dfx Forums...

Seems to be for VSA-based cards only, though (Voodoo4, Voodoo5-5500/6000), with several -6000 specific fixes.

I recommend keeping an eye on www.3dfxzone.it and their Forum to catch the latest updates when they surface Smiley

They will probably use 3dhq b10 code for the v3 driver, and just improve the v4+ aspects of it.. sux init Sad

Now i have to use my rad 9800 pro *shrugs*
