N4, best V5 settings? 3dfx Tools settings?

I've seen Tom Pabst's write up on setting up the GeForce 2 for maximum video performance. Are there some similar tweaks/tips for the VooDoo 5 card that anyone can recommend? I am running N4 in in D3D (OpenGL frame rate is currently much slower for me than D3D) and I use the generic V5 setup as found in 3dfx Tools. Thanks, Russell

Dave, Thanks for the link. I made a few changes and also flashed the bios on the V5, but it is difficult to tell if anything changed. At least I'll say there were no dramatic changes. I'll just keep playing around with settings. By the way, who could possible use OpenGL over D3D in N4? In a case where D3D gives me 35fps, OpenGL gives me 5. Is this normal?

HEy I didn't know anyone had updated the bios for the v5.

That is normal. Use D3D for N4 :) R Keating wrote:

Dave, I found it in the site you recommended that I take a look. Specifically at:: http://www.voodoosource.net/3dfx/bios.shtml I had version 1.06 so I flashed to 1.18. I don't know what changed but I figured why not have the latest. There are also bios versions that have been modified, but I steered away from them.
