Windows 10 release 1809. Generic driver benchmark D3D.
Generic driver (powered by cpu/gpu) gives more convincing results on 3dmark2001 with lower resolution.

Detailled results shows altered texturing ( 92 and 122 ) while geometry (7,2 and 4,6) looks ok.
Same bench with 640x480 leads to 2600 points.

What do you think about this ?

Gameplay on Youtube.

How can it run on Glide as this API looks not supported by Windows drivers 7,8 and 10 ?

Humm ...
It would have been be useful if you showed the result 'details' on 3dm2001 to see the score at each test and informations about your configuration hard and software.

I read on voodooalert.de website that a german user test it and explain that a pci-E converter is not necessary to run the V5.
Says he performs a very good 3dm2001 2800 score but not documented.

Maybe some would like to see if unreleased cards could run in emulation mode.
My contribution is now over and I just wish some will enjoy V5 on Windows 10.

Hello, could your driver match to the WDDM 1.3 from MS ?

My first video was called "3dfx Voodoo5 runs on last OS". A fact that everyone can verify himself as it is clearly explained in the new written by Glide.

Six months after, I posted "3dfx V5 performs 3dm2000" where I said @2.22 : " Offering a large range of emulated features this driver (W10 generic Vga) can keep your Voodoo5 alive... etc.".

Seems neither you look at it, nor you experiment before judging the article as "pointless, waste of time, etc".

About 3dm2000 / 2001, you know that's outdated software, it recognized the E7500 as 'PIII' and offered me 3 settings to run the test : T&L software, D3D hardware, or D3D pure hardware. I tried them, and the best performance came with D3D pure hardware.
As a 3D-Analyze connoiseur, you know that a Voodoo can't perform shaders in hardware and needs emulation, whatever setting I choose emulation was ON.

There is no conspiracy here ;) and it is useless to speak here in an unpleasant way.

A Negative comment but full of emotion.

You know, I have shared here all the data since July with the driver model on screens, but looks like some believed it was a fake and no one even seems have tried.

I was satisfied with a good 2D experience and a V5 running and surfing with the last OS. I no longer play games and during these months I had not even taken the time to test 3D.

In December, I was surprised when Glide asked me for more information, so I tested more and I send him some data. If he wrote this news he must be sure what he says.

"Software you are hiding from your inaccurate videos". I repeat : there is no hidden software, just the generic driver.

"Well to be very honest this is nothing special even ... "
This point you're right. There's nothing special in what I did, and anyone just had to 'waste' a little time to experiment.

Is it useful ?  My purpose was just to share. 5,000 have click on the 3dm2000 video, maybe some will find it useless, some others useful.

Unstoppable ?
Not sure on 3dm2003 ...

As the 1014x768 score seemed weak for gaming
I ran the bench at a lower resolution : 800x600.
Looks better.
Fillrate seems to be a bottleneck, but geometry looks fine
with 8,7 M - 5,4 M polygons/second.
I quicly tested overclock of 3 parameters to increase my score.
Cpu speed, V5 i/o speed and ddr2 latency.
Higher Cpu and i/o helps, but lower ddr2 latency doesn't.

Bench 800x600 2087 points.

More D3D in this video on 3dm2001.
Unbelievable, but true !

Detailled results for 3dm2001 benchmark


:)

Edit :
I got a better 2075 points with same settings @800x600.
The 800x600 resolution seems to give best chances to run games
with 30 fps.

Score 3dm2000

Christmas gift for 3dfx owners.
After testing the Win 10 driver 2D performances
it's time to test GDI on 3D using 3dmark 2000.
Maybe will run, maybe not as the old Voodoo5 XP driver ?

Here is the test :

To test my machine on D3D,
I launched a 3dmark 2000 benchmark.
So what happened ?

Have some fun. New video :
