Voodoo 3500TV for N3?

I have an ATI All in Wonder Pro which Pappy doesn't support in 3D. Really would miss the TV tuner & capture features Sooooo...... Anyone know if the Voodoo 3500 TV card would be suitable....it's a bit pricey but it would be worth it if the 3D is supported (well). Worth it to me anyway. Comments or suggestions? Thanks Doug B.

Hmm, they do. Grand Prix Legends has a beta OpenGL rasterizer available to download Nascar Racing 3 and future titles will include Direct 3D acceleration, which means it's compatible with your card. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Ive got the 3500 and it works great with all my games - GPL, N3 demo, NFSHS, Falcon 4, Janes F/A 18 to name a few. TV and FM tuner work great too. Im running dual monitors (other vid card is a V330) if that is of any interest.

i have a 3500tv...love it...i play gpl..n3 and hidden and dangerous!

Im using a 3500 and it works with N3. I dont have all the TV gizmos hooked up though. 471

OK now I need more info.....how do I find this download and how do I install it???? (Don't use NO***in E-mail) You think in the storm we've found the eye of the calm.....Bill Mallonnee, Vigilantes Of Love

Actually, Frank is wrong here, your card is mentioned specifically as a troublesome card in the readme for N3, although one of the ATI guys that frequent the N3.discussion group over at news.simracing.com mentioned something a while back about new drivers that would supposedly fix this problem, can't say if they have been released though, you might want to check out ATI's site for the latest drivers As for your original Q, yes, the 3500 is one of the best cards you can get for N3, and if you're also in the need of the TV stuff, it's just about your only choice if ATI/Papy doesn't get the problems with your card fixed, rumour has it that the ATI cards gets their colors all mixed up for a really funky look in N3 :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy

I'm using a V3 3500 and it works great with N3, GPL, and many other sims and games. The TV stuff is cool too. However, I had problems with N3 online (and other games in multiplayer mode) due to a bug which affects TCP/IP on machines with MS-IE 5 and WebTV (which comes with the 3500). Frame rate in N3 would drop dramatically during the first few minutes of being in multiplayer mode, until it was undriveable. The same problem occurred in Dirt Track Racing and in GPL when I hosted. There's an easy fix. Details here: [link lost in import: /#v3-3500] I applied this fix and now N3 and GPL run great online. I haven't tried DTR yet, but I'm sure it will be ok too. Alison

....Snip.... ...unSnip.... I have noticed quite a bit of talk of "overclocking" at this site. Exactly how is this accomplished? Is this something I can do with my PII (333)? Also is the PII 333 suitable for the VooDoo 3500 TV? (Don't use NO***in E-mail) You think in the storm we've found the eye of the calm.....Bill Mallonnee, Vigilantes Of Love

Well I remember reading somebody who had a successfull attempt with the beta patch ? Not 100% sure, sorry for the confusion. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Could be, could be, I've been too busy agreeing with Scott and arguing with George lately to be completely on top of things :-), but I do know that the ATI Rage PRO cards are troublesome in N3, or at least was....
