I won't get shocked if it beats S3 Savage cards :D...

Wow, really.


I have a Nvidia Vanta in this machine, gonna ask the customer if they want me to get them a 5500 series as they have a AGP refurb for $19 at the egg. At least DX9 compliant, then their son can play a few games.

just in case anyone was curious:

wow, xp 64bit driver :eek: Nice work :)

Wait, 8 years since they closed and they release a new driver?

w0w, looking at 3DFX forums there are still someone who actually uses and plays old with an hardware.

I probably shouldn't be sharing my knowledge on this subject, but her name is Liz Vicious.

As for the drivers, how many people actually still use a 3DFX card and actually require a driver update?

And they work in Vista LOL


We are talking about a DX6 card:roll:



Also I swear I seen some post where someone had a screen shot of them playing the new Tomb Raider:roll:

Brings back memories of my old Athlon 700 / Voodoo3 2000 system. Loved playing Quake III all night on that thing :)

I was wondering if somebody was gonna correct me or not :roll::roll::toast:

I think im gonna make me an old system now just for the sake of using these drivers.

I bought a Voodoo3 when the first Unreal game came out.

Seems there's a fan based somewhere to extend the lives of dying products. Good in wierd retro kind of way.

Wait.. What?

:laugh: That was EXACTLY what I thought!

whenever i get rich, im going to ressurect the voodoo series of cards...
then there will be quad GPUS on quad CARDS on quad MOBOS for us all!!!

Unlike the phoenix, those voodoo 5 won't live again from their ashes

yeah..... i was looking for some drivers for my voodoo3 2000 to resurrect her. i still feel sad selling my 5500 but back then in most games i was using the "half" of the card so it was pointless.... anyway 3dfx still sings......

I wish 3dfx was still around imagine what kind of video cards they would have now...

this is awesome. i cant wait to resurrect my old card!

agreed! :toast:





nice to see the 3DFX loyalist communities keeping the faith . . . that, IMO, says a lot about the VooDoo lineup, and it's effects on the hardware market.

Who woulda thought, almost 8 years after nVidia dropped 3DFX support entirelly, and 2 major OS releases, that driver packages would continue to be released for these cards.

If I still had a working AGP board, I'd half consider firing mine up as well!

Didn't the 3dfx staff go to nvidia ?

Are these cards really that good that people still use them? :confused:

I want to see some benches on current day applications/games.

I think what made 3Dfx was 3Dfx was who they wanted to be. They had their own API Glide, and didn't care if they kicked the snot out of all the other competitors. At the time I don't remember anyone buying anything but 3Dfx, and if they did you would just smile. They would say 32bit color, and you would look and see chop chop chop frame rates(hehe).

If they were here today, MS would not have Xbox(IMO) PC Gaming would be a lot more popular than it is now. I bet the 3Dfx guys at N, and over at AMD still smile about what they did to this day.

Just think TNT2 after 3Dfx...o boy....The only card I kinda liked after that was S3, and that was only because you could read the words when you hooked it up to a TV.


Their downfall from what I have read was living the high life to much.

Ok p2 machine crashed and is being reinstalled.

I have a few games to install and try out. BEFORE I'm gong to F this card up....unless erocker beggs me not to do it LOL. I have all the tools ready to go go:)

I founds a P4 1.4Ghz today with board:)


http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6626&whichpage=1





New slots will only do 1.5v in AGP and not the 3.3v needed. SOOOO you have to do this little mod along with cutting out the center of an AGP slot. I have a 1.4 P with a AGP slot ready to go!!!!!

:) BIG GRIN

Dude, I have an old system that will run that card if yours if fubar'd.:D

Yea, but do you have a p4 board that does AGP8 and ging the full 3.3v. Most are only around 1.5v an fare as I have seen.

It's a P4, and all I know is the tab fits into the slot.:laugh:

I thought I read somewhere that, some of the 3DFX crew went to ATI,, & that's about the time ATI started to give Nvidia a fight. if thats true then the ATI cards today have a little 3DFX in them.
