Can someone please tell me what Voodoo3 driver and DirectX version you are successfully using with GPL? I'm using the version 1.02.18 driver and DX6.1 because they seem to perform well (or at least better then the 1.03 or 1.03.xx versions) with Need For Speed III and Re-Volt. The big pain is that you can't just try out the latest drivers without installing DX7 and I've seen lots of reports about "blue screens" and severe problems that were solved by a reinstall of Win98 and DX6.1. Thanks, Ed Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Running GPL fine with a Voodoo3 3000 agp and DX7a. I have the latest drivers for the V3, and have the latest patched version of GPL Runs great. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends > Can someone please tell me what Voodoo3 driver and > DirectX version you are successfully using with > GPL?

I and many others have been using DX7a for some time with NO problems. However, other users have had difficulties with DX7. It's probably a matter of how stress your system is in it's current config. I have a Voodoo3 3000 and have the latest drivers 1.04 + with NO known problems. GPL, SCGT, N3, N99 Age Of Kings, etc etc all work fine(even the Quake demo) Can't tell ya how the 1.04's work with NFS or Revolt, since I haven't tried those games. Good luck dave henrie
