Hi everyone,

Just curious about whether the voodoo3 supports widescreen resolutions in both desktop & gaming.

So many combinations to make, so few cases to put them in.

You'll have to manually add them in the INF. Nathan (of ToastyTech) was able to add widescreen resolutions for his Voodoo5 that way.

Which INF exactly? Do I need to specify refresh rates & colours as well?

I'm 100% sure a utility called Powerstrip can unlock most widescreen resolutions for you on a voodoo 3. One of my friends has a shop where he uses an old windows 2k computer for his CAD projects and wanted to upgrade to a widescreen. The onboard video was too stubborn for Powerstrip, but voodoo 3 was not a problem.
