Title: just bought a Voodoo 5 5500 agp
Post by: Gaz on 21 February 2007, 01:22:23
need a newer driver than the 3dfx made.

problem is, every time i try to download from this site i can't seem to find it. it just sends me back to another page! help!
very frustrating.

could some one please just post a 'direct' link to the driver?

I don't know what driver is best, i need the driver for windows ME, & also the best driver for 2k & xp.

cheers.

Woops!. sorry. looks like I was having a blond moment.

I'm sure you can guess what i was doing wrong. doh!

I'm down loading the SFFT driver for 2k as we speak.. question is tho, what driver is best for winME??


Anyway,.. great to finally own one of these suckers,.. shame i'm 7 years too late. lol

still, my V5 ran it's first GLIDE game today, Need4Speed II se. I see some people have had problems with this game? seemed to work fine for me, but then again it was made for the VooDoo 1 & so when i got my VooDoo 2 (back in the day) i had to work it out for my self how to run it on V2 so i just did the same for this V5.

Come to think of it, i also had to get NFS2se running on a V3 3000 back in the day, for a m8 of mine. V3 was brand new at the time, but i wasn't really envious because i owned a V2 SLi rig. I felt my V2's were actually faster TBH. not as fast as the 3500 i doubt.

step-by-step install of SFFT driver: http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=drivers;action=display;num=1166626980;start=0#4

under win9x I would use the Evolution 1.01.16 driver (http://www.falconfly.de/vsa100.htm),but using the original opengl/glide from 3dfx (http://www.3dfx.cz/download/evolution.zip) as well (extract to your windows/system folder).
