I all.

I have a Canopus Pure 3D. It's just got the original Voodoo chipset and 6MB
RAM.

I have DirectX 6.1 installed on Windows 98, and have just run DXDIAG on my
system. All the tests run great.

I loade motoRacer 2 on my system, and in the display options it says I have
a "Pure3D DirectX 5" driver.

Where can I get DirectX 6 drivers. Does anyone know if the reference drivers
for the plain old Voodoo at the 3DFX web site are DirectX 6 or 6.1 drivers.
I like to run the latest stuff.

That being said Moto Racer 2 works great.

I just want to make sure everything is DirectX 6.x in case more games come
out. Otherwise I'll wait for the Voodoo III to hit our shores before I buy
again.

Thanks for any help in advance

At the present time Canopus does not intend to release new drivers to
support DX6.1 for the Pure3D.  To get reference drivers check out
http://www.3dfx.com To keep abreast of what  Canopus is or is not releasing
new drivers for check out the newsgroup 3dfx.oemproducts.canopus.pure3d.

I have noticed same thing with my Diamond Monster 3D 4MB.. Don't care about
what games say, you have the latest drivers with DX6 support in your machine
:)

For example, "Return To Krondor" says I have 3DFX DirectX 5 driver, and I
have
just installed latest reference drivers for my card.. It's common problem,
maybe
those bastards have just forgotten to change number 5 to number 6.. :)
