FastVoodoo.

FastVoodoo, Don't even look back. Not even if your dead stuck on keeping your system 100% original.

I stick with the last official 3dfx drivers and drop in the MesaFX GL dlls when I need them.

I don't trust third-party drivers. Most of them just flip a few existing variables, sometimes unsolicited overclocking, and go "ya we are fast grafik !!! go to our web site". They also inexplicably disable the filter. *grumble*

Got any references to back that up?

Reading the INFs are a good start.

I see, ill take that as a no.

Best to default with official drivers. That is good advice.

What an idiotic statement, sorry.

Why do you think the FastVoodo drivers are "fast"? They overclock the 3dfx chipset and disable features that would make the 3D output slower. In other words: these are hacked drivers and you use then at your own risk. This is a fact and you can prove yourself by looking at the inf-files to see what the drivers do.

Got any poof to back up that the fastvoodoo drivers overclock the card or disable things??

Until you do you should not make such foolishness slandering statements.

They clock the Voodoo2 at 95MHz. Default it 90.

Since I paid a lot of coin don't want to run the V2's into the ground plus my case is crap as far as cooling so I'll start with the latest official drivers and go from there.
Thank you all for the input tho.

I see it clocks it at 93 not 95MHz.

Let's join a forum and start some passive aggressive behavior with a regular. Great idea!

I've had more bugs and glitches with the FastVoodoo drivers than with the latest official 3dfx ones, but I use a mismatched SLI config so I am stuck with them. That said, they are nowhere near what you would call bad. Just remember to disable the default 3Mhz overclock they come with (for whatever reason).

My voodoo 2 stock speed is 100mhz, seen 110mhz cards too. earlier cards 90mhz.
source code for drivers open, can compile drivers for more speed.

🤣 Voodoo Banshee != Voodoo2

latter voodoo 2 cards ran at higher clock. older first second gen ran at 90mhz.
most voodoo2 cards ran at 90mhz stock with older rev a/b firmware.

Read tech specks on cards TMU and Pixel processor chip.
Pixel processor 500-0009-01 build to run up to 95mhz wile most TMUs were 100mhz. ram on most cards 100mhz. 93mhz not over clocking

Some cards came with clocks speed unto 110mhz like gainward dragon.

My V2 8Mb SLI runs unstable at 93Mhz.. it took me some time to figure out why the Fuck it was unstable.
Then i figured out that one of the Cards didnt like the FastVoodoo Overclock.

Not that i did know it overclocked them...
