I was searching on the internet if Halo (from 2003) would run on the Voodoo 5 5500, and apparently it does.
But are there even newer games that will still work on this card? Like triple A games?
Just wondering.
Builds:
Xp3000+ gf3 ti200 + vd2 SLI 12MB + 768MB + SB live @ WinXP & 98 Dualboot.
P2 350mhz + Diamond Viper V550 + 3Dfx Voodoo 2 12MB + AWE64 + 128MB SDR @ msdos / win98.
I think Doom 3 sort of runs on a Voodoo 5500.
I remember Doom 3 was run on Voodo2 SLI back in the day.
I ran GTA Vice City, NFS Most Wanted for example, they ran quite well on V5. That was on Tualeron 1.2 overcloked to 133 Mhz FSB (1.6 GHz).
Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.

I remember romping around Mechwarrior 4 with a V5 using 3rd party drivers that emulated T&L commands. That was the pinnacle as I remember it. I'm currently in the process of building a Barton XP based W98 Voodoo gamer, my goal being to replay Independence War II in high res glory with the V5.
Indeed, i have finished gta vc an have mw4 installed which both are very playable on the vd5. Half Life 2 maybe?
Medal of honor aa, sh, bt. Also work fine, even on a vd2 sli. But anything newer than these games?

What about battlefield 2?
F.E.A.R.?
Or are these games requiring T&L?

Maybe Mount&Blade? It works on DX7 level cards (needs a fast CPU though)
again another retro game on itch: https://90soft90.itch.io/shmup-salad

T&L can be emulated by CPU, even if explicitly specified in game requirement.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
I have gotten Halo Combat evolved to run on my voodoo 5, but not without glitches (maybe thats why the game standard denies running on this card)
On 800x600 max detail, the fps varies from 120fps to 20 with explosions.
You have got to have the 1.07 driver installed together with an edited version of the games config.txt.
You can find the txt here https://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1092

Flatout 2 also runs on a V5, somewhat.

Somewhat, as in, a slide show? Or playable at low settings?

At low settings, it might be playable (if 20-30 fps can be considered playable). I only tried it many years ago at medium settings. The results are here http://hw-museum.cz/article/2/benchmark-vga-1 … 2011-edition-/9

UT2003/2004 ?
Half-Life 2 should also run on DX7 Path

Very interesting results tbh.
Very different compared to my own experience, looking at the 3dfx card comparisons. Wondering what kind of drivers you have used.
