Hello, what can I use to OC a Voodoo5 5500 AGP under Windows 98SE?

The ones listed on this website are listed for only Win 2000 and XP.

I read of people using Powerstrip but that appears to be paid? And can't find an older version.

I also heard that OCing a 5500 will only OC one core, is that true? Is there a way to OC both cores?

Hello, I recently got the first Blood. Works well under software or whatever it is using as default. Since I got a 3dfx card I figured I'd use the 3dfx patch. Sadly it doesn't work. It crashes my computer with a black screen before it manages to get to the game menu and I have to hard restart.

Is it possible to play on the 5500 with 3dfx?

Hi, sorry this is kind of a double post as I basically made a "PS" about this in my Manhunt thread, but I figure making a thread about it will get it more exposure. It's affecting all games.

With all drivers (reference latest and beta, Evolution, x3dfx) when I turn on AA for games, I get glitches in the picture.

For example. Turning 2x AA in UT99 and Hitman causes the font to mess up. There will be a sort of underscore under some letters, and not on others, and font will be glitched in other ways I can't explain.

In Homeworld the entire menu messes up. Some colors change (background is no longer black/blue, but whiteish gray). And text is almost unreadable.

If I turn 4x AA, in UT the entire picture becomes blurry. As if a 3D affect is on and it's trying to combine two pictures or something. Hurts my eyes, very hard to read stuff.

I could have sworn this was not a problem before I started experimenting with third party drivers. I tried uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling but to no avail.

Please help. I have many games installed and reinstalling Windows is not an option!

edit: according to this page: http://www.3dfxzone.it/koolsmoky/glide.html
The bluriness and maybe text issue is because of "jitter"? I remember this option was added to 3dfx tools when I installed Evolution driver. But this also affects Direct3D games,and I've since uninstalled Evolution anyway.. what is going on

Hello, for some reason Manhunt will not run on the official drivers from 3dfx, both the beta and latest final. The error I get when trying to launch is page fault.

But it does work if I use non-3dfx drivers like Evolution, x3dfx, etc. But I don't trust those and am happy with the performance of official drivers.

Is there a solution?

Also there's another problem. With all drivers, if I turn on AA on Glide games (UT99 and Homeworld is what I used to test), there's some bugs. In UT, the font is messed up. I don't know how to explain, and in Homeworld the entire menu is funky. Both are fine if I turn off AA.

Another weird thing with AA is if I use Evolution's driver, there's some sort of distortion in UT of the screen, like a 3D effect when you don't use glasses, but it's in normal colors. It's very blurry looking. Updating the glide library fixes that, but then I get the font issue above. I could have sworn it worked fine with AA before I started messing with all the drivers..

Is there a way? I'm looking at the settings in the 3dfx tools and there's no mention of AF :s

V5500 by the way

I read that Thief is a Glide game, but there's no 3dfx logo (I have a 5500) on startup and when forcing AA in 3dfx tools, it only works if I set it in the Direct3D category. So the game is working in D3D.

How can I get it to play in Glide?

What is this? Is this the Glide version? There's no Glide logo when started this way, and the visuals and performance appear identical to the regular executable.

Anyone have any information?

Hi, I'm waiting on getting my 5500 any day now. My question is: Is it safe to flash any AGP 5500 BIOS to the latest 1.18? I ask because maybe 5500's have different memory configurations or something, like different revisions, and one BIOS will not work for all.

Or is it generally safe?

Hi. I'm in the process of getting parts to build a 3dfx computer and wondering if a SB Live! is worth buying.

I'm not an audiophile at all. Can't tell the sound difference between a 7.1 top of the line surround system with an Audio-CD and a live concert VHS recording.

But will there be a noticeable performance boost by adding a Live! card to the system (due to the card having its own processor, thus freeing some CPU cycles for other tasks) vs onboard?

If it matters the system is:

P3 1GHz
512MB RAM
3dfx 5500

As per title
