Hi! If you read my previous topic you know that i had no problem running my pci voodoo3 in windows 95 even in glide even if its slow.
But windows 95 dont want to install any driver for the 3dfx banshee. i tried several drivers versions for windows 95 and the 1.0 version too. I even tried win98 driver. Windows doesnt recognize the driver at all. It always said that folder contain no driver information for this hardware.
Thanks for answer or help.
I tried my pci 3dfx banshee in dos with my
486 dx4-100mhz with tomb raider and screamer 2 in glide and it works correctly.( both games are playable, even screamer 2 that was a little too slow with my 486 dx2-66, play good enough to be playable on my dx4-100mhz and tomb raider play better than with my dx2-66, stay at 30fps most of time, a few drops to 22fps to 25 fps, nothing major, works great in glide.)
If i cant install any 3dfx banshee driver in win95, i will not use the card in my 486 build at all. I wont keep it for 2 glide dos games. ( i have several others pci cards that in the same 486 era in time, but i was still prefer the banshee, the picture quality is so great vs others pci video cards.
( i tried the voodoo3 again in win95 with my dx4-100mhz instead of my dx2-66, but its the same result, no glide or d3d game at all play good enough to be playable and i'm not surprised. Moto racer 1 and nfs2 runs as bad as my dx2-66. no difference at all with my dx4-100, same bad framerate, not faster, not slower. )
