General Discussions / Unknown 3Dfx Card.......
15 April 2006, 01:22:04
Hi,
I am wondering exactly what 3Dfx card this is,
the owner claims its a V5 5000 AGP,
but I have never seen a V5 with S-video out support(besides the MAC
vesion...)

I am thinking this is a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP or something...


Thanx.

Hi,
I am trying to use 2 Mismatched voodoo 2's in SLI mode
using koolsmokies test driver, And have come across a
weird problem. It seems that I have a graphical corruption
in SLI mode at 1024x768x32b, its like one voodoo is working
fine and the other one is sort-of working.

I am not sure if its a hardware problem ( a problem with
one of the voodoo cards) or a driver (problem with the test
driver).I have experienced a simular situation with
some of the early build(s) of the amigamerlin series with my
Voodoo 5 5500 AGP. Were there are visual "lines"
on the screen...

My system is a AMD Athlon 64 FX-55, Asus 939 Board,
2x1024MB 3200 Dual channel RAM,BFG 6800 GS OC Video Card,
STB 3Dfx V2 1000 12MB and SkyWell Black Magic 3D 2 12MB cards...
and Windows XP Pro OEM...

Any help would be appreciated,
If needed a screenshot could be provided.
Thank You!!

-Also on the page https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/news/3dfx/koolsmoky_v2_driver_test_kit/

The screen states that you have to enter a setting for mismatched 3Dfx Voodoo 2 boards in SLI...

"Set SSTV2_MISMATCHED_SLI = 1 "

I am not sure were to change or edit this setting, or even
what to do with this command switch. It is not even in the registry
under 3Dfx Software.I could add it i guess...

I am having some problems with my Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 (256MB) Video Card. All resolutions in D3D mode are fuzzy under 1024x768 for some reason. My system is overclocked recently also. I just adjusted the CPU frequency, but I did not touch the AGP bus speed. Should I adjust it also? Currently it is at 66Mhz and can max out at 75Mhz. Heating problems are nonexistent in this system becuase they are water cooled. (GPU+CPU), also using LegendFX's Voodoo Mage drivers for my SLI Voodoo 2's. Latest Nvidia Drivers were used also, forceware version 71.89. Any suggestions? Thx.

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to create drivers for the Voodoo 2 graphics board to work inside a 64Bit OS, (Like Windows 2003 and Windows XP 64), or if there was a known workaround to get the 32bit drivers for the voodoo 2 to work inside windows xp x64.
As far as my own experience with Windows Xp 64bit edition, I can disable the 64bit driver only protection, and it will let the drivers somewhat install, but it disables the hardware because it says that "It is not intended for this platform." Was wondering if anyone knows anything that might help, Thanx.
