mi è venuto un dubbio!

[Neo]

ciao a tutti,scusate l'ignoranza,io volevo sapere se i driver della voodoo5 posso usarli anche con la voodoo5 6000?

[PredatorXP]

Io avevo fatto la domanda contraria,cioè se i driver x voodoo5 6000 vanno anche sulla voodoo5 5500 e mi hanno detto che sono gli stessi driver

[Neo]

si lo sapevo che queli della v56000 vanno bene per la v5, ma andranno bene quelli della v5 per la v5 6000?

[PredatorXP]

Secondo me si

[Palaz]

sì credo proprio di sì....ora vai tranquillo con i nuovi amigamerlin

[MojoMotion]

Se non mi sbaglio una volta avevo trovato proprio dei driver specifici x v5 6k però ora non mi ricordo! Se non mi sbaglio usava al massimo le prestazioni dei 4 vsa, eprò non mi ricordo più dove trovarli!

[Neo]

per ora preferisco usare ancora i vecchi driver 3dfx 1.04.01,sono ancora molto buoni,se non mi credete andate nella sezzione screenshots e guardate con i vostri occhi(il mome del gioco è Grand Prix Legends )

Nel mio hard disk giace ancora un driver per Voodoo 5 6000, se serve a qualcuno potrei mandarglielo via @...

Qui sotto allego il testo del Readme.txt che accompagna il driver:

VoodooSource.net Voodoo4/5/6 Series Driver Set (Beta8)
***********************************************
This driver set was compiled by someone 3dfx and the INF modified by Wipeout using a lot of the settings and information that Nautis provided in the past.
This set of drivers is only for Voodoo4/5 cards and only for Win9x/Me.

Note:
THESE DRIVERS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY 3DFX AND YOU USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.  I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EFFECTS THEY HAVE ON YOUR
COMPUTER.

HSR = Hidden Surface Removal now install automagically (Thanks to Dave over at Dave's hardware http://www.deathwish2000.sprite-network.com for the how to on this one).
The basic concept behind HSR is fairly self explanatory from the name – What can't be seen shouldn't be rendered.
This can of course greatly improve performance as the video card no longer renders objects which aren't visible (Every video card around still
renders a lot more than what is actually visible). Although HSR is not performed by the graphics card, rather by the
CPU (Or T&L unit potentially if available, although this is unavailable on the Voodoo 4/5). As a result performance gains from HSR are largely
CPU dependant. Currently HSR exists in BETA form, so many of the graphical errors or other workarounds mentioned here will
inevitably become redundant as 3dfx fixes & optimizes the implementation. Furthermore HSR is a tricky thing and requires optimizations for it
to work with different games."

Guard Band Clipping is actually a hardware feature supported in the V5 but it has been unavailable until now.  All I know at this point is that if
it is enabled it crashes most of my games.  In time I am sure the kinks will be worked out of this and it will lead to further
performance increases.
-

The overclocking tab is not automatic.  The .exe file that enables it is included in the zip.  Just run this to enable your overclocking tab
if you so desire if not then I have provided the VSync disabling method in the regular advanced features so there is always access to it.

-
Analog SLI appears to be a different hardware mode but has some weird effects.
Enabling it will cause colors to be brighter and richer but will also cause very bright colors to bleed.  Also there is some jittering in some
2D menu screens on many games and it also makes things a little fuzzier using FSAA with it enabled so this setting works best with older games
in higher resolutions (1024x768 and above).  Yields some very interesting results some will probably like it, some won't.  I prefer it disabled
but the option is there for you to play with if you so desire.  The performance is identical in either mode so there is no advantage there.

-
The 2MB Texture limit setting for old glide games is now back in place and should help resolve some crashes some folks have been having with
these games and V4/5.
