I've just added the Diamond Monster 3D to my Sierra Screamin 3D
expecting to get the beautiful performance playing NFS2SE as I get with
ICR2 and NASCAR2 with the Sierra. But I can't seem to turn on 3DFX on
NFS2SE. I can play Tomb Raider in either Rendition or 3DFX (which makes
an interesting comparison in performance) but I can't get 3DFX to work
with NFS2SE. Do I need a patch of some sort to turn this on?

I have the same combination in my system and I had lots of problems when I
had Sierra's drivers installed. D3D games would almost always crash back to
Windows or lock up when I tried to start a game. The cure for me was
installing the Rendition drivers that come with DirectX 5. After doing this
I had not conflicts anymore.
I don't know if this will help you but its a chance. Good luck.

You need to install the 3dfx version of NFS2SE that come with your CD, and
make sure you have glide 2.43 driver. Tomb Raider is a D3D game, while
NFS2SE is a glide game.
You have to install the 3dfx version from the CD. It is a different
executable.

I realize the tradeoff of giving up the detailed dashboards for the
performance of 3DFX. But should I, one day, want to see these dashboards
again, is there a way to switch off 3DFX temporarily without another
complete reload?
