Re: Voodoo2 to Voodoo3 upgrade: a little problem.

Everyone with V3's seems to find GPl a bit dark and no effect from the gamma sliders. All the tweaks should be off (unchecked) and image quality on auto. Unless you want to run gpl 1.0 above 800x600. Then check the limit textures to 2mb box. But the 1.2 patch is a better solution. In article <[email hidden]>, alemira <[email hidden]> wrote:

Voodoo2 to Voodoo3 upgrade: a little problem. I have upgraded from V2 (Diamond Monster 3dII) to V3 3000 and I am having a little problem with GPL and Nascar3. The gamma is too dark. It seems the gamma sliders are not working with glide options while is working well with desktop option. I founded it a great utility, powerstrip, but is this the only solution? or should I reinstall both games? Another question: wich options should I set in 3dfx Tweaks (in display properties of Win98).

Just set the gamma the other way around.... Adjust your monitors brightness so GPL looks ok... Then use the V3 sliders to make the Windows desktop less bright.... alemira <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi Almemira I have a voodoo 2 12 mb & am thinking of upgrading to a voodoo 3 3000 AGP. I have a 466 clery O/C to 525. Have you seen much of a performance inprovement with the V3 over the V2? Cheers Steve Sjon Stigter wrote in message <8hdm3l$8ij$[email hidden]>...

Weird .. I went from V2 12MB to V3 2000 AGP and was able to move from 8x6 to 10x7 resolution without touching the other graphics settings. That was with a lowly P2/300. I've since upgraded to P3/638 (o/c'ed) and now I run 10x7 with _everything_ on, incl. mirrors. I recommend the voodoo upgrade. Hena

Do it like we others do: Crank up the brightness - inconvenient, I know.

I had a Voodoo2 8Mb and, yes, I have noted a great improvement. Now I can race off-line at 1024x768. My system Pentium II 333MHz with 128Mb.
