I am testing a 3dfx STB Voodoo3 2000 AGP video card. The BIOS POST screen says that the BIOS is version 1.00.01-SD. I like these cards. They have good signal quality, and are still cheap and easy to find on ebay.
1) Link to 3dfx Voodoo3 driver. (Search for "22 Nov 2000")
2) Link to 3dfx uninstaller. (Search for "06 Apr 2000")
3) Link to V-Control, version 1.82B. (Search for "09 Aug 2003")
4) Link to MiniGL version 1.49. (Search for "04 Sep 1999")
5) Link to 3dfx card flasher (Search for "EEPROM")
6) Link to this card's BIOS rom
7) Link to Internet Explorer 4.01 service pack 2.
Notes
1) This is the lastest and final reference driver, dated 22 Nov 2000, version V1.07.00. Other 3rd party drivers exist. Apparently, the best AmigaMerlin driver to use for w98 is version 2.0.
2) This 3dfx Uninstaller is for Windows 98, not for w95. It seems to work on w95, but then freezes.
3) V-Control is probably the best "tweaker" for a 3dfx card.
4) MiniGL will allow you to play Quake type games using GLide.
5) 3dfx utility will allow you to flash a 3dfx card. I tested this with the ROM file above, and it worked.
6) BIOS ROM file, for this V3 SD-RAM card.
7) The 3dfx Voodoo3 reference driver listed above won't install unless you have SP1 or greater, for Internet Explorer verison 4.01. This issue appeared on Windows 95. It won't happen if you are using Windows 98.
Questions
1) Can anyone recommend any other good software/utils for the Voodoo3 card? Thanks a lot.
