Are there any 3dfx glide capable river that works on windows 10 64 bit?
I dont want to use any emulator, i want to run a few windows games on native glide.

I have successfully run Unreal Tournament Glide mode on Voodoo3 in Haswell-EP Xeon system (chinese hybrid x99/H81 mobo, DDR3, AGP to PCIe to PCI) but only in windows 7 64 bit. (last image is on winddows 10 but i cant install non WDDM driver, only the windows 7 accept the old XPDM driver from 3dfxzone.it)
But now i have a skylake-EP (Xeon Gold 6138ES) that its not support windows 7. I also have a voodoo1 but it is not working on windows 10 64 bit. I found the XP x64 drivers for the voodoo1 i tried it but no success. I disabled the driver signing. But i think that voodoo1 or 2 is not a real card for 2D windows desktop so i think the WDDM is not req.
The AGP-PCI adapter is not an issue because all my agp card work on windows 10 if it has driver. For example 7600GS agp works on windows 10 with the correct drivers.
If anyone know how to make any glide capable card working on windows 10 please help!

Thanks!

Just use an old PC. Even going back 15 years to a Core 2 Duo will not be a bottleneck for the card. Running it on anything newer is utterly pointless and unnecessarily painful as you've found.

Voodoo cards are really intended for Windows 95/98/Me.

Is this too much voodoo?

Welcome to the forum! I know there are Win10 drivers for Voodoo2 and 5500.

I have a few retro pc but i don't have enough space to use it on my desk so that is why i want to use in my main pc.

Just a few:
Abit IC7 + 3,2Ghz P4 HT
Abit ST6 + 1,4ghz P3S
Abit NF7 + 2500+ Barton
Abit IS7, AG7...
Asus P5QC
Some G41 motberboard that runs a rare Core 2 Duo E8100 farming chiacoin
Chaintech 6LTM for the P2 266 cpu but i have a P2 450 but i dont have a BX mobo to use it.
And a few Slot1/s370 mobo. (Soltek sl-kv2-ct, etc) , a few old video cards for the pc-s.
But i dont have a voodoo2 or 5500. Only a voodoo1 and a 2000, 3000.
I will search for a voodoo2.

Geforce Fx series was the oldest card that i found win10 drivers and installed without problem.
