I've run several Voodoo 1 on a P3B-F with Pentium II 350. One Maxi Gamer 3D didn't work on anything faster than a 266 or 300 MHz (not sure which was the max anymore) and only with early and late drivers. It did not work with Win98 onboard drivers. The card had a 96 mfg date. Maybe those cards are …

To all of you: - Both Voodoo cards are Diamond Monster 3D, one is 1996 Rev B, the other 1997 Rev A, slightly different layouts on PCB Below is yesterdays testing with 1997 card - Both DOS and Windows. DOS - Tomb Raider will just show black but audio can be heard. Screamer 2 says it cannot find card. …

I have two Voodoo 1 cards, both "seem" to not work or broke, but I don't believe that. I know it is possible but the seller on ebay stated he tested it working before sale. He has a 100%-99% rating and many ratings and accepts returns so I tend to believe it. I'm using, as the topic says, an ASUS …

I think I'm going to call it a dud. I put in my unlocked P2 400 and I tired it at 400MHz, 200MHz, 133MHz, nothing. I've seen PCL's voodoo videos and it looks like Phil has had V1s working in Pentium 4 machines on LCDs. The last thing I'm going to try is a CRT monitor. I've asked around but no one …

Just in case you didn't knew - Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 cards almost always pass the signal, no matter how damaged they are. I think you can even rip the video chips out of the cards and they will still pass the video to the primary card, they only block the signal when needed. It's a very simple …

I've tried in DOS, mostly Screamer 2 and Tomb Raider. I don't think you need to install drivers for DOS. I have before but it does not seem to make any difference. It is recognized in Windows as well, the card is recognized, the driver installs, the info tab has info on the card, no issues reported …

I'm able to give it some time now. I'm building a very capable machine that I am quite happy with, the last piece is the Voodoo 1, Diamond 3D Monster, 1996 Revision B. I think it might be no good. I bought it off ebay as new-old-stock, looks brand new, slot contacts had no scratches, pass through …

I beg to differ, especially after what I've learned these past few years getting back into retro. However, I did look down on ATI pretty much religously without a second thought until I got a Radeon 6670 HD but ATI was not AMD (figure out how many years that was). I was a 3dfx fanboy and then a …

Vogonswiki has an entry on games which support 8-bit Palleted Textures, although I'd guess its still a work in progress because there's not much there: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_games_with_8-bit_paletted_texture_support It was also discussed a lot here: https://www.vogons.org/ …

I do have a Quadro 4 900 XGL. I was thinking of putting it up on ebay. Do you think that might be a better option? I'm really looking at getting nGlide at 1600x1200 working smoothly. I think outside of nGlide, the Quadro 4 would do great.

So I built a machine similar to Phil's cheap Voodoo 5. Its using a Quadro FX 3000 mostly because as Phil said in his video, the FX series supports 8-bit palleted textures but I also got it for $20. The Quadro FX 3000 is LOUD! It sounds like the PC should be hovering. But it runs great! Unreal using …

Thanks everyone. I think I will go with the Audigy 2 ZS, at least first. The front panel is kinds cool. I think the hardware behind the panel is actually the same as the Live Drive with a different label. What games really show off the EAX in a night and day level. I'll test out NFS High Stakes from …

So far I have a build working very nicely. ASUS P3B-F, P3 933MHz running at 700 because of 100MHz FSB, Voodoo 3. The big part is the sound. I already have an SB 32 w/ AWE64 chips (CT3670). This is currently piped through a TB Vortex2 card which amplifies the Line out of the SB 32 nicely. With the …

It might be more of a refresh problem. I was successfully using a Voodoo Rush and Voodoo 3 to play Tomb Raider on the same monitor. I did try the environment variable SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=60 but that was a no go. Do the env. variable that are usually used for Voodoo2 work for Voodoo1?

I wonder, what about the P3B4X with the P3 933, Voodoo 1 + Voodoo 3, the SB32 or Audician 32 Plus for DOS (only one ISA slot) and SB Live or Audigy 2 ZS for Windows. The P3 933 is stuck at a 7x multiplier. That gives me 462MHz at 66 bus, 700 @ 100 bus and of course 933 @ 133 bus. Late DOS …
