Title: Searching special Voodoo Banshee Driver
Post by: SailorSat on 03 April 2007, 23:07:49
Hi!
I'm currently searching a Banshee driver that supports custom modes (say 640x240) and custom timings.

The BansheeXP driver does have the TIMING keys in registry, but doesn't seem to use them.
The Banshee-Evolution driver doesn't have the TIMING keys.

Would it be possible to run an Voodoo3 driver on a Banshee? cause the sfft drivers do support the TIMING key.

have you tried powerstrip?

powerstrip can change the timings on the available modes, i even can add any custom modes, however it actually doesn't add them.
powerstrip wants a reboot, and after that, there are no new video modes.

as i found out, powerstrip also modifies the TIMIMG keys in the registry.

I doubt that the sfft drivers would work on a Banshee. I havn't tested them.

Not sure but perhaps the Wicked3D drivers for the Metabyte Banshee "Vengeance".
They support custom resolutions (refresh frequencies ?)
But i don't know if you can install them on any Banshee (don't know if they look for the vendor ID ?)

edit :
they don't exist for XP, "of course"

Hi.

This thread is very old, but regarding the SuperFurryFurryThing's post, I can confirm SFFT drivers don't work with 3dfx Banshee video cards.

Bye bye
