I just posted two new sets of drivers for 3dfx users. The first set is for Voodoo5 owners. Unlike the drivers we posted a few months ago, these drivers should enable Glide and OpenGL support under Windows XP.<br>
<br>
The second set is for Voodoo 3 2000/3000/3500 owners. These drivers claim to work under Windows XP that support Glide and OpenGl.<br>
<br>
I did not verify the integrety of these drivers and would like to know your response when you use them.<br>

Available in our download section.

There are drivers already out for the Voodoo3 on ME. These drivers are only for XP (Hilbert correct me if i'm wrong)

Will any of those drivers (for the Voodoo 3 and the Voodoo 5) work for my Voodoo 4 4500? Please tell me there is hope for me. I hate having to use d3d for everything...

I just installed winXP build 2600 again. Use the voodoo3 drivers and it works!!! <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> Although direct3d performance drop (even o'clocked my voodoo3 3000 core & memory to 200Mhz) but openGL and Glide works flawlessly. Need to experiment to mix and match drivers soon to find out how to speed up direct3d performance without sacrificing openGL and Glide. Anybody ever done it before and found it works? Post it here to share with everybody.
