Hi Folks: I'm re-installing Win2K, IBM hard drives have been disappointing me. I've been using the final official 3DFX driver, 1.08, but I've noticed some not quite right artifacts in the F1 Challenge menus. So I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with the third party drivers. A recent post in the flight sim newsgroup pointed me to www.falconfly.de/vsa100.htm where 13 voodoo 4/5 drivers are listed. It seems to come down to 3dHQ V1.09.00 Beta10 or AmigaMerlin V3.0. Or stick with the final, two year old, 3dfx V1.08.04b. Which has proven adequate on my aging dual 600 MHz P3. Or, perhaps a driver I haven't heard about. Thanks Larry

I went through a few trying to get one that worked well in GLide /and/ D3D. The only one I managed to get working well was the Amigamerlin 2.5. Malc.

It's been a while now, but I'm fairly sure I used the drivers from x3Dfx at the end Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
