Been trying to get GTA 1 to work on my 3DFX pc. When using the GTAFX.exe, the menus work fine, but the in game graphics are simpley a black screen with what looks like frozen lines of static. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Ah, sorry misunderstood the "modern" part.
I think Voodoo 3 (and above) are incompatible with games that were designed for Voodoo 1/2. I've never been able to get older DOS games' 3DFX mode to work on my Voodoo 3.
I think there are work arounds for some, Tomb Raider can use the banshee patch to run a voodoo 3 card, and Carmageddon works too. That said, this one might just no be possible.
This is caused by the game launching in 512x384 resolution. Press F11, the down arrow, and then enter to change the resolution to 640x480 (or down arrow twice for 800x600). I can only surmise that the V3 card doesn't support 512x384 for DOS Glide games anymore perhaps?
