Ranma, I'm sorry to tell you but the SC-D70 was a very bad choice, especially for gaming. Sell it and buy a proper sound canvas unit. I mainly choose sc-d70 for its optical output and its better resolution(44.1/48khz > 32khz), but seems I've made a wrong decision as a retro gamer.... T_T sigh..... …

The Voodoo and Voodoo2 were 3D accelerators, and only 3d accelerators. Technical possibilities aside, they are only capable of producing 3d images, which means that you need another 2d capable card to compliment the voodoo for windows, dos, and other interfaces. Technically it's possible, but the …

You must have both cards installed on the motherboard and in the device manager. It sounds like you uninstalled one of them. What Gamecollector was getting at is that the same driver must be used for both. I had a poor understanding when I first got mine. So, a quick bit of background, first. The …

Pronunciation of Riva

How do you pronounce Riva? When we first got our Pentium III, I assumed that it was "Rye-Vuh". (Rival) I have also heard "Riv-uh" (River), and "Ree-vuh" (Diva). Does anyone know how NVIDIA themselves pronounced it? I tried to find old product launch videos, but to no avail.

Also the ASUS TNT2 looks more to be a TNT2 M64 Yeah, the ASUS V3800 is a TNT2, but the V3800 M is an TNT2 M64 Sadly, I didn't have data (traveling in …

During a cross-country trip, I stopped in a little computer shop. They happened to have a big box of old expansion cards that they let me pick through. Came away with these 4 for $20 US. Included are a voodoo3 3000 (D?) AGP, a Creative CT6960 GEFORCE 256 SDR missing a fan, an Asus V3800/32M Riva …

Hello. I do have one, however I'm going through a move at the moment, and I don't know when I'll have access to everything again. If, in 2 weeks, you have no other takers, please send me a PM to remind me to dig the card out and check.

That may all be true, but the engine was from 1999, the game would have been in production in 2001, and his system is well inside the requirements. I'd bet that the newer drivers sort the problem out. It may not be perfect, but it should be wholly playable. Star Wars™ Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast™ …

All that to say that it would seem like you have an issue of some kind. Just to be safe, maybe disable the Voodoo2s in the Device Manager. See if there's any difference.

On 800x600, Medium Settings, I am getting very smooth playback on the first level. (at 1.4GHz and 1.05GHz) The Q3A engine should run extremely well on a GeForce 256 DDR.

Interesting. I had that game running on a similar, although weaker, system...PIII-1GHz, Riva TNT2, SB Live! without issue back in 2002. It could be a conflict between the 2 video cards. The Voodoo2 is listed as incompatible, although I've seen proof that it works. The following chipsets did not meet …
