World of WarCraft
@ 1024x768x16:


This happens if you are at the wrong place: No ground texture and looow fps. Well, **** happens.


The "Lost Fleet". Some texture problems in the background don't disturb much.


This is my 3rd Ego: Bloona.


And this is Capitain Halyndor. Looks nasty -- is nasty.


No, I'm no cheater. This wallhack is integrated in the driver and occurs sometimes.

Well, you can see some texture problems -- but I'm still impressed. The card is 6 years old, the game is almost brand-new. 15 fps average while playing is not much, but sufficient after some time of adaption and staying alive. ;-)

btw on voodoo 4 4500 game is fully playable on medium settings. interesting, because v4 is about the same speed as v3..

Thx. :-)
Well, these were made with minimum line of sight, otherwise it's not playable. V3 2000 PCI clocked @ 190/190. :D
The Voodoo3 lacks of some features and has less VRAM than the Voodoo4, which makes her not the optimal choice. On a Voodoo5 it runs better, even with 2xFSAA turned on. :)

Driver used: SFFT Alpha 32, btw. But it already runs with the AM 3.1-R11.

some games run significantly better on the voodoo4 (even though its not supposed to be faster than voodoo3),enemy territory for example..maybe its texture compression ;)

How did you install the AM 3.1 R11?

I can only choose drivers for Voodoo4/5 and Napalm :(

Do it! :D The driver was created for V4/5 but you can force an installation on a V3, too if you do it manually via device manager. Just choose (i.e.) "Voodoo5 6000" and install it -- it works. :-) Alternative: Download and install the SFFT Alpha 32 for Voodoo3!

I am running AMI v3.1 r11's with my voodoo 3 2000 pci. I can finally get WoW to run, but the veyr first thing the game shows is the aggreement where u need to accept, well no mouse cursor! I cant get the cursor to show, and i have tried setting it to hardware via the wtf.config WoW file. Does anyone have any suggestions?
