A few days ago I have finished the Half Life games. HL1, Opposing Force and Blue Shift. Very enjoyable until the very end. But dreadfull at times because I played the games on Difficult settings. After that I had a few days scoping and trying out some other of the 50+ games I have installed on my …

Re: Best PCI VGA for a K6-III+

Posted on 2021-06-24, 14:10

Hmmm I am always puzzled, why people use cards that are so much newer then the processor they are using. If you use a k6-3 500mhz. Why go higher then a voodoo 3 3000 / a TNT 2 pro or ultra card. In my eyes it is just useless. If you want to play at higher res then 1024x768, why use a k6-3 at all? Go …

Maybe, bake it again? I know it is a bit dangerous, but all of the solder will melt and get solid again, maybe fixing a bad solder spot. It helped me with my ATI card back in the day when it was only 3 years of age. It had the exact same issues. The downside was that it reoccured again but worse …

Re: were/are the Voodoo 4 and 5 even worth owning?

Posted on 2021-06-14, 22:05

I totally agree with Kolderman. The voodoo 5 5500 even plays gta 3 and gta vice city at a grand level. The latter better then the first. On the latesr glide games it shines like a star, but you have to go for the complete late 3dfx experience to even want to use one. I honoustly would never pay 300 …

Re: ATI HD 2600 XT Windows 98 Drivers?

Wich is kinda odd I think. X800/850 XT are in the same "league" than 2600 XT. At the Nvidia side, I have a 6800GT which (shoukd) work with W98 (even being PCI-E) although having similar performance than the 2600 Pro.

I really like all 3, even the 'worst' one BlueShift to me is great to play. the black mesa facility is such a great place, especially in it's post 'resonance cascade' state the alien realm though, never much liked that! Indeed, the black mesa facility is the best part of the game troughout the …

Re: voodoo 5 5500 run very very slow on 2000s games

Posted on 2021-06-07, 21:19

I found out that with a cpu, better than a p3 1.6 ghz or an athlon 1,5ghz will get the best out of the 3dfx vd5 5500. It will play almost any game without too many problems on 800x600x16bit color up until 2003 ish. After that the settings go down to minimum really fast, taking in mind the games are …

Re: Voodoo 2 SLI?

Posted on 2021-06-06, 09:47

Hey All, I don’t know a lot about Voodoo cards. But for Windows 98 Gaming would these SLI Voodoo 2s be fairly compatible and perform well? Can I put them in any board with the appropriate slots or are only certain motherboards compatible? Or would I be better off with a Ti 4200? The rest of my …

Half-Life : Opposing Force A few days ago I finished installing the 3 Half-Life games including Blue Shift. I started with Opposing Force for a change. It really has been over two decades since the last time I took a serious effort to finish these games. I am surprised how well my SLI setup is …

Half-Life : Blue Shift with voodoo 2 on 3dfx.

Posted on 2021-05-31, 19:27

Hi everyone, I've recently got hold of an original copy of Blue Shift and I would like to run it on 3dfx mode with my voodoo2 sli. Now the game states that it does not support the voodoo2 and in this case I should run it in D3D. And I indeed get the message that the selected OpenGL mode are not …

Re: 4DPS, Voodoo3, AGP-to-PCI

My main retro rig has a Voodoo 5 with a V2 (hopefully with a 2nd V2 in SLI, someday) and A V1 in it, in a P3 system. How does that work? I can imagine the voodoo 5 with a voodoo 2 or a voodoo 1 in a system, but all 3 of them at the same time? I am curious in how you got that to work? I use two …
