Best Voodoo5 3rd party driver?

I'm finding compatibility issues with certain racing games using my V5 5500 agp card. The latest release beta 9 #7 gives me 3dfx problems with older Papyrus titles Nascar 3, Legends, and EA's Sports Car GT. However, EA's F1 2001, NFS5, and Papy's Nascar 4 have improved considerably by maintaining the same graphics but with higher frame rates than say beta8 #4. Since I am such an avid race gamer, can anyone recommend a good 3dfx driver for older games (-1999) as well as newer (2000 +)?

"Rich" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:OFw%9.115050$[email hidden]... > Stephan, that would be Win98SE I always used the original 3dfx-drivers when I had Windows 98SE and Windows ME. I only tried third-party-drivers when I changed to Windows XP. So I would only use third party drivers if you have a brand new game that doesn�t work with the original drivers or has graphical mistakes. If the original drivers don�t have problems running those brand new games I would stay with them, because they are the most stable drivers under Win 98 and ME. In Win XP I can recommend the drivers from 3dhq, former known as 3dfx-Underground, Amigamerlin and x3dfx, if they already released their new drivers. Sorry, I can�t recommend third-party-drivers for Win 98, because I never used them. Greetings Stephan
