Title: 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 work with DirectX 9c?
Post by: showoff on 20 November 2004, 17:06:14
Sorry if this has already been answered. But I recently got Need For Speed Underground 2 and it uses DirectX 9c. I have a Voodoo 55500 AGP and I don't know which drivers to use with the card to make it compatible with DirectX 9c. What do you guys recommend? I'm running Windows XP.

The biggest reason why I posted this topic was because I can't even get Need For Speed Underground 2 to launch. It works when I put my older Nvidia MX 440 in the computer. But the game won't launch when the Voodoo card is in.

@showoff,

1) I dont believe this game works correctly (yet ?) with A voodoo 5 on Windows XP/2000, Windows 98 only at the moment.

2)Best driver for a 5500 on XP/2000 would be Amigamerlin 3.1 R1 with out a doubt ;)

My mistake, I new it worked with the original and assumed the same for 2.
