hey guys, i finally picked up a voodoo 3 2000. but i am experiencing some problem with it.
When I go and turn all the options on, the car and the track look really funky. It looks like
it had fungis growing on top of it. What is going on?

Do other games work alright? I had problems with the demo in 3dfx
mode, but didn't bother with it. Got the full version, no probs.

I had that same problem with GPL when I got my V3 3000.  The problem was
solved by installing the GPL 1.2 patch.  Looks great now!  I'm using the DX7
compatible driver version from the 3dfx site, and did a reinstall of DX7a
after loading.

I was playing the Grand Prix Legends demo fine on a Voodoo2.  I got a
Voodoo3 3000 (DirectX 7a, 1.03.05 drivers) and experienced the
symptoms you describe.  The 1.2 patch doesn't work for the demo.

I fixed it by turning on "Limit texture memory to 2MB" (Display
Properties > Settings > Advanced > 3dfx Tweaks > Glide/OpenGL).  I'm
getting a pretty steady 36 FPS at 1024x768 with full detail (AMD K6-2
350, 128 MB).  Mind you, the demo doesn't have any other cars on the
track.

If you haven't installed the full game, yet, let me know how that
works.
