Helios Voodoo 2 & GPL

4 posts by 4 people · 22 Oct 1998 - 24 Oct 1998

Hi Is anyone using one of the above voodoo 2 cards and GPL? I have one and it seems to be putting dark boxes around trees & trackside objects. I have latest drivers from A - Trend who make the card, but I think these may just be reference drivers. If any one is using one of these boards please could you let me know 'cos I have a 14 day money back guarantee which I might need to use if not!! Many Thanks Russ

All I can tell you is that I had this problem with my CL V2 card and I DL the latest drivers, which corrected the problem. Try DLing the drivers again and making sure they are installed right. I didnt install mine right at first. Or goto www.3dfx.com and try their drivers. Johnie

I have the same V2-card combined with my AMD K6-II/300. I've got NOT problems described above. Maybe it's senseful to check out the reference driver from 3dfx (www.3dfx.com) - I use this driver and it kicks ass ! <g> Also, man mailt sich... .\\atze [ FmMW2109 - FmMB2139 ] *home* : http://www.home4u.de/buesing/

Hi Russ, Im using two Helios 12mb v2s, and 3Dfx latest drivers. Think its glide 2.54/3.01. Downloaded from 3DFX. Also using DirectX6. Only problem is the well known mouse- curser-menu-graphics-prob. Small thing to me ... Otherwise more than happy, 1024x768, very nice graphics, lots of frames and it can even be overclocked to 105MHz with a little help from two old fans :) Your are welcome ... Knudse. .
