Now i need a loop cable. All cables i find are between 20 and 30 euro. I have found on ebay this one …

The 3df is only for older games, which have no d3d support or not so good one. For everything else is my gf2 which is way better than v2. I just want to know if 3dfx has benefits over d3d in thise early games.

For example with game like headz works only with 50% of the drivers after 20.xx. nfs 3 with mostly none. Tried it with also with a gf2 mx on different boards.

Hi. Those drivers are too late i would go to versions under 10. I have the version 7.xx and it works very good. I have a geforce 2 ti Tried many drivers. But with later versions i get more errors on late 90s games.

So setmul didnt help. But this issue must have something else. I went down to 400 mhz and slowed the cpu with cpuspd. The game ran pretty slow but this issue appeard also. It was not so extreme but still. So this must have something to do with something else. What was very interesting, that with 400 …

Since i am thinking to buy a voodoo 1 for older games the question is does it really makes sence. I have only 2 or 3 games which support only 3dfx. All other i can run direct3d without issues. The wuestion is, do those games benefit somehow from glide? I mean games like colin 1, toca 1, nfs 3, …

I have a ti vx card, unfortunately my version does not like oc at all. As i remember i just could increase it by 10 mhz. But do not bother the difference between 225 and 250 isnt worth mentioning it. I mean the card is still faster than the pro and gts version. You can buy it if you have a …

Well unfortunately 66 mhz is the lowest i can go. All other games run fine with 800/400mhz so to change the cpu only for this game which works almost fine makes no sense. In bios i do not have the option for disabeling l2 cache. So will setmul give a try. With the 533eb i can even go to 266 mhz. But …

Hi, I have a strange issue with the game. The game itself runs fine, but if i shoot down a boat with a gun for example and the windows appears where it shows how it is hit ( its like an action scree) my game gets a turbo for 1 or 2 seconds and increases the speed by around 5 times. After that 1-2 …

Im pretty happy with my via board since it has an isa slot and adjustable fsb. This is mostly what i need. So i can use the p3 800 with a gf2 for bit newer games and the plan is to get a Voodoo 1 and underclock than tje cpu for early 3dfx games. I just wanted to max out my ram for win98 and want to …

Hi, I know since DDR RAM it is mostly better to run the RAM in dual channel mode, it means to have to equal RAM sticks. But how is it with SD? I have know 2 x 128 MB. and I want tu upgrade to 512. so is it better to buy 2 x 256 or 1 x 512? I want to stick to 512 as a max, since it is enough for me …

In my opinion if you want to use win98 and play games on it, it is better to stay on single core CPUs everything else is giving you headache. I tried alot of hardware, but the best results where on p3. Its fast enough to play games up to year 2001 but also compatible with older games. I tried it in …
