Tnx for report.

About issue with Unreal Tournament 99, I've a question for you. Do you run UT99 via Direct3D or GLide mode or both?

Bye bye

I'm running it on D3D mode. Haven't tried Glide but I can try it if needed.

About the DVD issue I use PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra and it has an option to use Nvidia PureVideo, but I haven't installed any specific driver for it, only ForceWare 174.70

Alpha59 seems to solve the 3D-problems on intel systems.
As my former mainboard ( Asus P4C800E-dlx ) has died last week, I am now using an Asrock Conroe865PE, which might be problematic itself.
Some games still dont run correct ( like GTA:Vice City ), but this could be due to the mainboard. I am now looking for a replacement board that should work fine with a Voodoo4 AGP, in the meantime I will continue testing with my AMD system.

I tested alpha59 driver.
Worms armageddon, ut99 (both glide and d3d), quake3, carmageddon2, system shock 2 (excluding the usual strange hud flickering) works perfectly.
Falcon 4 allide force works good except at high details where some textures are totally white or black.
Resident evil 1 returns an error: "Failed to initialize the Graphic Hardware Device.(3)"
Very good job SFFT!

AMD Athlon64 3200+ - ASUS K8V-Deluxe - 1GB DDR400 - 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 PCI

SFFT,
Since vers. 48 until 59 the sli is broken using an Intel board 975x + C2D + V6k (agp2pci). With all thase versions the V6k works with a single VSA-100, like a V4 4500.

Wow ... this seems to be the problem. And I was wondering why the card is so crappy slow on my main rig ...

I noticed also a small score at my platform AMD X2@2.6GHz - around 2000 points.

Follow your dreams !

Ralf

on good drivers and c2d @ 3,7ghz + voodoo5500 @205mhz
I should have around 3000 - 3500points - 3dmark2001se

Probably V55k and V6k will not use all cores on new platform new Intel P35 and X38 [:(]

What happens if you enable 2x AA? If the frames don't drop, the communication between the chips is given.
