[SUPPORTED HARDWARE]
This driver set is for the VSA chip based Voodoo4/5.
The Glide driver alone will work for Voodoo Banshee,
Velocity 100/200, and Voodoo3.
[NOTES]
The windows display and miniport driver are newly
built binaries by the 3dfxzone driver team. The
display driver still uses DX7 core. However a good
deal of bug fixes and additions have been made and
they should work well for both win2k and winxp.
To list a few of the changes;
The strange banding effect when exiting to desktop
from UT2003 has been fixed. The fix should work for
any D3D app that supplies a gamma modifier.
Gamma control for video overlay has been added. Adjust-
ments can be made from 3dfx tools.
Fixed so that the original 3dfx Glide driver will work
with out any hacks for winxp.
Added support for Voodoo5 6000. All 4 VSA chips will
be used running in 4way SLI, 2x,4x,8xFSAA modes. If
you have model number 210-0391-001-A or A3 and have
stability issues, you should apply Hank Semenec's V56k
hardware mod. Get the recipie at the 3dfxzone forums.
