Maybe then you can direct Mau1wurf1977 to the correct tool. 😜

Nah, I never actually tested any of them... just collected the links. 😜

The mobo is an Aopen AX6BC right? I guess the "slowdown tool" you're looking for is right there in the BIOS. 😉

Limited choices though (can't use 90MHz as I asked) but still:
FSB: 66 / 68 / 75 / 83 / 100 / 103 / 112 / 117 / 124 / 129 / 133 / 138 / 143 / 148 / 153

Bookmarked, saved a *.maff copy, and downloaded all the files as well. Thanks!

A huge THANK YOU to everybody who has replied! I value all of your comments and ideas!

Since the V1 seems to only have issues with Expendable and Incoming at >400mhz, I still think I'd like to keep it for this theoretical build.

If I ever get around to completing this, I'll be sure to benchmark it with both the V3 and the Ti500 to compare performance. However, I think I'd like to stick with the V3 regardless of the outcome for the sake of compatibility.

Though 400 is alright too. 😀

I have just tested a Pentium III Katmai 450 with Incoming and no luck, same texture glitches that Phil described. With a Pentium II 400, the same 440ZX based computer displays the textures flawlessly.

Voodoo1 has some issues:
- some drivers are better on faster machines than others (I think 2.43 was best)
- with glide there will be less or none texture-glitches on faster machines. if the machine is too fast, than glide will not work anymore (black-screen)
- with D3D (incoming, motoracer and lot's of other D3D-games) you will likely get texture-glitches from 366 mhz and above.

That is what I recognized.

Doc

Different card models using the original Voodoo Graphics chipset behave differently on different machines with different drivers and different applications. At PIII performance levels even the best combinations start glitching.
All of this has been discussed numerous times. This thread is from 2012. Is this necro really necessary?
