3DFX new drivers

Does the new 3DFX drivers work with GPL?

The new V2 driver works very well with my Maxigamer and GPL. don []-(_)-[] >Does the new 3DFX drivers work with GPL?

It works perfectly for me (Diamond Monster VII 12MB). In fact it's a real improvement over the 2.53 driver. The colors are much "fuller" (not that pale anymore). D'load it immediately! Jan.

I noticed the same thing! With the 2.53 drivers it was a lot harder to see the racing line (i.e. at monza in the heavy braking areas like before the Lesmos or Parabolica) With 2.56 all of that has cleared up. Later, John

Amen... lots better! Thanks guys. Jan. ------- >> It works perfectly for me (Diamond Monster VII 12MB). In fact it's a real <snip>

I went back to the previous drivers, much preferring the more pastel, subtle colours that I was used to. The new brighter colours (I sound like a soap commercial!!) do nothing for me.....they look too "cartoony", IMO. But don't be swayed by others opinions.......this is a personal thing and you should decide for yourself.

The drivers worked fine on my Monster2 but I found that they didn't diplay one color properly in Lucas Art's Pod Racer or Phantom menace game. I had to revert back to 2.54 with the 2.53 dll file in GPL. Those were the only two games I saw that had a problem with them though. Anyone else see a messed up color in anything with the new 2.56 drivers? Vintook

"Old sod"??? The "old" I will accept but I haven't "sodded" anyone (as far as I can recall)!!! :o) I'm fine Tore, thanks for asking.

I hope this term isn't related to the "bug" word? It doesn't have much meaning to me here in Ohio, USA. Tore

Yes, but be aware that it _appears_ 3dfx has pulled a sneaky on the latest reference drivers, and I welcome anyone to correct me if I'm wrong :) There used to be an option to disable DirectX support in the 3dfx drivers. That way, those of us with TNT and TNT2 cards (and others) could use them for DirectX games, and the 3dfx for those few games that are 3dfx only. That option has disappeared. What's worse, the 3dfx card (at least my MII does) over-rides the TNT2 card as the DirectX accellerator. Which, of course, sucks. Again, I welcome any correction on this issue, as I have not found any way around it. -Larry > Does the new 3DFX drivers work with GPL?

There is a Freeware appl. out there called D3D Control Centre. It allows you to set the default card used by your apps when using D3D. Thereby forcing the use of your TNT card. Sorry I haven't the URL for it here at work. Maybe someone else can add it to this thread. Tinker.

Very, very cool! I will do a search for it. Thanks! -Larry > There is a Freeware appl. out there called D3D Control Centre. It allows you > to set the default card used by your apps when using D3D.

Yeah, I found something similar: it's called 3dcc and was a small utility made to be used with Power VR. It's only 42 kb, I would be willing to e-mail it. Philster

Thanks! That would be great :) -Larry > Yeah, I found something similar: it's called 3dcc and was a small > utility made to be used with Power VR. It's only 42 kb, I would be > willing to e-mail it. > Philster
