What are the best settings for a voodoo5 for gpl and gp3 in the 3dfx advanced features in 3dfx tools? I can't figure out what is the best for my system. P111533mmx voodoo5 5500agp. Thanks. alex

Factory default, then set FSAA to 2X. If you click the ? button then click on the entry it will tell you what each option does.
I can only get mine to run on either single chip or 2* FSAA, is that the same for every one?? "Amp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Best might mean better picture quality :-) Check out http://www.voodoosource.net/vsnet/3dfx/guide/tweaks.html I have a P3/550, 192mb, V5 and play 99% of my games/sims in 800x600 4xFSAA. GPL worked great online at 800x600, 4xFSAA, 36fps with the beta 1.03 drivers but crashed during single races. I've installed the newest 1.04 drivers but still have to test if the crashing exists during single player. You might have to switch to 2xFSAA until a permantent fix for 4xFSAA is found. I remember seeing a link for a 4xFSAA fix on SimRacingMag, but it didnt work. Jason. Marki000 wrote:

For best performance in GP3 you have to use singlechip. Jason Monds <[email hidden]> skrev i meldingsnyheter:[email hidden]...
