I curious as to why the Video card was cut. Couldn't you just take the divider out of the AGP slot and plug the V5 in?

Ok. Got it working by disabling driver signing before windows loads with F8.

#3
It's Windows 7 Home Ed 64-bit.

I downloaded and installed the Sfft1.9 drivers. Setup went smoothly. However upon reboot Windows 7 will not enable the driver since it's unsigned. I tried signing them with this program - http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&go=giveme&dwn_id=826 however Windows now says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" instead of the driver not signed error msg.

Help would be appreciated.

LOL @ Elvis. Is that a Moderator tag I see under his name? [?][:o)]

QuoteHell try running unreal tournament the first one in MSAA and compare to voodoo fsaa in Opengl. Thanks to mesa it runs around 190-200 fps on my 6k no AA . with 4Xaa it is about 70-80 FPS easy. You would be blown away.

hehe.. nice try. I get 70-80fps easy at 1600x1200x32 Opengl high res textures 6x FSAA 16x AA with my 9700pro and yes it does look better.

I loved my V5 at the time, but I could never go back. ('cept I'm forced to temp. as my Radeon is in for repairs). One thing is for sure, you can't beat 3dfx build quality.

Hey Guys. I'm over from the x-3dfx community. I have a question about my V5 which I just installed due to a 9700 pro problem (RMA).

Ok.. here's the problem. My desktop and Glide I have.. I dont know how to desribe it.. but its like a miniture Grate over the entire screen. You can't really see it unless your up fairly close (sitting position).. but it really looks like crap. You can especially tell when you turn your screen brightness up. http://reviews.macnn.com/reviews/radeonvoodoo5/q3a.jpg kinda shows what I see.. well provided that I'm seeing that picture properly.

I used Unreal Tourny 99 to test which API's have the problem.. but its only in glide. Opengl and D3d are fine both in 16bit color and in 32. In fact in d3d Im getting better framerates than Glide..but there are tiny lines across and all the way down the screen in d3d.

My Card is on the hot side.. but arent all V5s??? I popped off the heatsinks on it and cleaned all the glue off and put some nice Artic Silver 3 on. Then I stuck the stock heatsinks and fans back on with my own homemade retainers. Anyways.. some help would be great! I'm using amigamerline's 3.1 R1 drivers.
