@ Coldfire :

Yes :-)

Nice

change that crappy fans. in some stores you can find simmilar(1 or 2 dollars) fans but running at 5k-6k rpm using power supply molex connectors.

dude what a score!!!


probably you can incresae this socre if you set your voodoo to 200mhz, but is risky. that AAVID Fans are old and slow.

once a time i OC'ed my Voodoo 3 3000 SG up to 210 mhz. i have used a 80mm thermatake fan at 4000rpm(noisy ). unfurtunately that card is now damaged (broken memory pins ), this happened in a house moving. fortunately is reparable using dremel and a ton of pacience.

moving cpu settings only will afect real applications performance. synthetic tests such as 3dmark won't show much differences

can you play DOOM 3 or painkiller with this card?

hi again

i can play MOHAA without problems(and really fast), but MOHAAB crashes into startup. i don't know how to get a console log.

also:

half life only works with miniport. Counter Strike crashes in startup, and in direct3D is a ****en mess(wrong textures, unplayable)

i can play LOS Vietnam at 17 fps (before SFFT 1.8 this game is unpayable due to low FPS). good work keep it up:)

i have a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP. i have problems only with the sfft 1.6/1.7

i disabled some gui acceleration features and i believe that this problem is "fixed".
i dont know if the card is defective, but i can play many games without any probems at a reasonbale performance with sfft 1.6/7

smoetimes i think that this problem is caused by the power supply (compaq deskpro, 200w) or a BIOS compatibility conflict. but i dont really know what's happening here.

i have noted that, when i have this problem and i "reset" the display driver(i.e. when i change DDI version with sfft tools or when i change the gui acceleration settings in any way), magically this problem "dissapear" and i can use it normally.
also i noted that sometimes whe i update or change the display driver, i obtained black screens, but when i restart, i can install it with any problems.

i have formated and re intalled my OS several times, and this problem persists with SFFT 1.6/1.7.

thanks a lot dude. i will try them  
also, i will post this in sfft feedback

i have some problemas with the new sfft drivers(1.6/1.7). here is a brief description http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18215
i cant get images or screenshots of this problem, coz its impossible to take snapshots and i don't have a camera. besides this sxxt occurs randomly; i can't wait whole day until this happen with a camera in my hand.


help plz.

meanwhile i will tke a look with that mix driver(alpha41 custom)

well thats it. this occurs randomly, but specially after changing a video mode or when some program is tryying to use a DX9 feature, in a window or in fullscreen. and some times the problem appears at system startup.
that "corruption" consists in:
absolutely ridiculous mouse corsor driving
wrong shadows
corrupted icons.

well this is my system:

compaq deskpro EN worsktation:
i820 motherboard with riser
p3 667
256mb rambus RDRAM
200w power supply:

other hardware:
awe 64 soundcard
intel 8255 NIC
windows XP SP3 wth all updates.

Target games: quake 1, 2, 3, MOHAA, Unreal Tournament, Diablo II, half life, Counter strike, NFS3, MCM2, MTM2, Serious Sam.

all these games runs very well(MOHAA and UT runs very nice)

thanks for your help:D
