I've noted that running Need for Speed 6 using Raziel
drivers i lose the car chrome effect that i used to
get with the 1.08.04 driver. Any tips?

Hi kool,

I've tried disabling every option in the PCI section of my BIOS
and nothing. I think it may have to do with the VSA-100 driver
cause i installed Win98SE with the x3dfx 1.08.04 driver and i got
no problems. Same settings in BIOS for both OSes.

May you help me here also?:

I've installed Win98SE with the x3dfx 1.08.04 drivers
and for my surprise i got a whole differente scenario.
Within WinXP i run the game at minimum graphics and still
have frame drops to 15 FPS in this config.
Within Win98SE i can run the game with its default graphics
setting:
32bit
800x600
..car detail -------X--
.....effects -------X--
world detail ------X---

SMOOTHLY as silk. Besides that, in Win98 i dont get the nasty
cursor bug i see in WinXP that i can see a rectangle blinking    
behing the cursor itself. It happens with other DX games as well.
Is there any major problem with de DX port under WinXP?

thx m8s

Those of you who can run Need for speed Hot Pursuit II couls help me?
Waht the drivers and configurations to run smoothly?

I notice frame drops very often even playing at minimum game details.

My PC:
tbred 1700+@3200+
ddr333@433 2-2-2-6
Voodoo5 5500 PCI
ABIT KV7 VIA kt600
Audigy with latest creative drivers (switched from kX drivers little ago)

Any ideia? Do I have to use 3d-analyze?

thx

EDIT: using Amigamerlin 3.0 XP

You're  right kool.
I have a VIA mobo and the one before this was another VIA
and gave me the same problem =/ I'll check if i installed
VIA drivers. I don't remember.
If it's the case, is there any other suggestions?

My mobo is a ABIT KV7

thx

Thx for the reply LGC.

I suspected that.
The matter of fact is that i love kX drivers.
They produce a way better sound than creative
ones and the controls are all gathered in one
app only that takes much less memory that the
bunch of apps creative drivers use.
But.... I may give it a shot just in case. In
my OGL or glide games i didnt have a single
problem so far. I run Q3 at Normal quality with
140+FPS.

@daniel
@koolsmoky

Hey guys, I REALLY appreciate your answers.
Very nice from you both whom i admire and respect.
You could see i'm a 3dfx lover also and like to see
my baby 55k at its best form always.

@daniel
I may try to compile using the s3tc->fxt1 hack
and see what happens. I'll post the result here
when i get to do it.

Thank you very much and keep up the AWESOME work!

3dfxSalutes,
Matheus

Thanks for the explanation Daniel

What you say is that Mesa can do s3tc compression but the voodoos
can't we all know. Does that mean MesaFX works for other cards?
Ones that support s3tc, i.e. ?

Do you know if this patch is gonna get public someday?

Other than that. Do you have any ideias on the stripes problem
i mentioned before? It happens all the times in the given
conditions and bother me not be able to use 3d filter at high =/

TIA

Hi folks.

Why is that in Quake3 , for instance, i get 138 FPS with the 3dfx
OGL ICD and "just" 114 with the Mesa one at the same configuration
driver-wise and game wise?

Still about the Stripes thingy. Whenever i set the 3d Filter quality
to high i got horizontal stripes on screen. No matter DX or OGL/Glide.
If i set to normal the stripes are gone.
I can let it to high, if i also set the FSAA to single-chip. but i get
performance drop =(
Any ideias?

Using:
WinXP PRO
Amigamerlin 3.0XP
Voodoo5 5500 PCI
TBred 1700+@3200+
512RAM 333@433 2-2-2-6

I also get this bug.
Using Project64 with Glide64 0.5 and the brand new 0.7. No matter
version of glide64 or glide3x.dll. Always the same bug.
I have Voodoo5 5500 PCI and installed Amigamerlin 3.0 XP
When i change resolution from 1024x768 to whatever other the white
boxes change places on screen but they always appear.
I managed to capture screen with them showing. I'll try to upload
them and post here again after that.
What about the solution for this? anyone?

thanx
Matheus Agostini

Hi guys!

I'd like to know how do you play this game with good FPS cause i'm
not getting to it. Even setting the details to the minimum and using
640x480 i still get little FPS drops in game sometimes.

Using :
WinXP Pro
Voodoo5 5500 PCI
Amigamerlin 3.0 XP + DX9.0b
Tbred 1700+@3200+
512RAM 333@433 2-2-2-6
Audigy + kX drivers.

One thing i noticed on every DX game here is that when i set in the
drivers configuration to 3d filter High Quality i got horizontal
stripes along the whole screen no matter the game. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Matheus Agostini

Thanks Obi

I sure will, as soon as can borrow a digital cam
Now it's a matter of honor
