Did you remove all traces of 3DFX drivers from the system folder and registry before installing the GF2 card? Did you reinstall Directx afterwards too? Uninstall all video drivers and boot to safe mode or switch video adapter to generic svga, delete all glide, ogl.dll and any reference to voodoo files, do the same in the registry. Now reinstall the video drivers for the GF2, then install directx8.0a or 8.1. Try Nascar Heat again. One other thing, the GF2 cards have a higher power requirerement than the Voodoo3 so that is a possible cause of the problem too. Do all your other games run ok?

I switched to a Radeon 8500 from Voodoo 3 and I merely uninstalled the voodoo3 from "add and Remove Programs" Mine runs ok however I have a very low Polygon rate in the benchmark screen, (1473ktris). Could this be that I was unable to eliminate all the 3dfx drivers?

That would be my guess.

Could this be thatI > was unable to eliminate all the 3dfx drivers? I had that low polygon rate too in NH (I have 8500) and the fix was to increase my AGP aperature to 128mb in the bios. I was getting weird graphics glitches in some games too until I upped the aperature to 128mb. ATI is aware of this problem and the fix is as I said above.
