N4 and Voodoo5?

What is the best way to setup the game for a Voodoo5? I can hardly play the game in open GL(really choppy). And when I turn FF on for my wheel using D3D the FPS drops to like 25-30. I have a Athlon 750 with 128meg if that helps any. Thanks for any help =================== Dwayne =================== "I told him he was number 1" (Dale Earnhardt) I will miss you Dale

I have found that turning off AA and letting the card automatically select it, helps improve the framerates some.

If you haven't tried the new drivers at VoodooSource.net you should go grab them ASAP. My framerates took a huge jump after installing them. Also keep in mind that all of the lighting effects really put a strain on your system, so if you can do without them that will help.

Bob, You need to have the 1.04.01 drivers installed first, then install the drivers from the first link on that page http://www.voodoosource.net/3dfx/files/beta8win9x.zip It's described as being leaked drivers for the V5 60000, but they work like a charm in the V5 5500, on my system (Athlon T-Bird @ 1Ghz), I highly recommend them.

I'm using the newest Beta Drivers found at voodooextreme. They are newer than the ones that you recommend and in my opinion more stable. I have tried the ones that you mentioned. Peter Walker Bagus51 "Joe Reed" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I also went to the beta driver for Voodooo 5 and it cleard up a lot of problems. Mack

The starting point for getting them is found here: http://www.voodooextreme.com/comments.taf?postID=11717 There are some old 3dfx Guys working for NVIDIA now that have been working on some drivers in their free time, if there is such a thing in the computer business.
