General Discussions / Best 3DFX moments of your life
14 September 2007, 14:57:35

Ok, so what are your best 3DFX moments of your life

Mine was when I upgraded my S3virge DX [xx(] to a Biostar Voodoo Rush and played need for speed with 3dfx and unreal 1.
The graphics where really outstanding.

The second moment approx. 2 years ago.
In a computershop in the netherlands ( De regenboog ) they sold old stuff but it was new hardware. I saw new voodooII's for 15 euro. I always wanted to test the sli setup of voodoo's.
So i bought 2 cars en installed them in a AMD duron 800.
I was really impressed by the performance from these old cards. I never aspected that. I tested al night long with old glide games but also new games.

This guy has a repaired 3dfx voodoo 5 6000. Repaired by help from an ex-3dfx enginier.

User Feedback on News / AGEIA PhysX chip

AGEIA PhysX chip

PhysX is the world's first Physics Processing Unit (PPU), an entirely new category of processor that promises to revolutionize gaming in the same way that the graphics processing unit (GPU) did in the 1990s. By offloading software physics processing from the CPU and GPU, the PPU completes the triangle of gameplay, graphics and physics, balancing the load of these processing tasks and enabling pervasive interactive reality in tomorrow's games.

What do you guys think about it ?

hello,

I found this on the dutch partner website from ebay.

http://static.marktplaats.nl/fotos/hardware/videokaarten/76347.jpg

It had 2 virgeDX chips on it en support for 4 monitors.

Is it posible to connect 2 outputs with a voodoo2SLI card.

Run a game in glide on 1 monitor and run an other game on Direct3D on the the other monitor :D

i know, not very effective and i think a nooby thought [:I]

Hello everyone,

I Found a D3D8 to Opengl wrapper:

http://www.v3x.net/directx/

i'm testing this wrapper to solve the D3D problem in windows XP with the voodoo2 SLI cards. I have now D3D support with the voodoo's but it's very bugy at the moment.
I use the mesaFX ogl driver maybe that wrapper doesn't function good with mesa.

Has someone tested this before ?

Voodoo2 Discussions / Yust a thought
02 March 2005, 16:18:50

Hi @ all,

First of all i want to excuse me for my bad english.
But i am thinking about something.
It's about the direct3D problem with the voodoo2's in SLI.
A lot of games do not select your second direct3D device but yust choose the primaire device ( almost all games where you cannot select the device ) Now, I was thinking about the technique was used in the LegendgrafiX VooDooMage 2 drivers.
Isn't it possible to implent this technique in the Fastvoodoo drivers. But only the direct3D technique. The rest was functioning perfectly in the fastvoodoo drivers.

General Discussions / Voodoo2 D3D question
28 December 2004, 12:21:07
First of all, i want to excuse me for my bad english.

Not very long ago i bought 2 voodoo2's yust for fun but i'm impressed of the power of the voodoo2 on SLI. I'm running FV4.6 with WickelGL on a windows 98(lite) station.
Opengl en glide are running perfectly. D3D games are working but only D3D games where i can choose my D3D device.
But other games chose my primaire D3D device by default ( Matrox G200 in my case )
If i Disable the D3D function of my matrox G200 in DXDiag it disables the D3D function of my voodoo cards to [:(!]

What are i am doing wrong or is there a util to fix this ?
