Hello,

I just installed a Voodoo3 2000 PCI card last week.  I got the latest
drivers from 3dfx.  They are 4.12.01.0533 as listed in the device
manager.

Are these the latest drivers?  Isn't there suppose to be some sort of
control pannel that lets me adjust the V3 settings?

I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Do I need to worry about the leaky drivers as discussed here in the NJ?

Thanks, Aaron

Hi Aaron,

To adjust V3 2000 PCI, go to Display on control panel, and click the
"Advanced" button. Should be there.

Check this out:
http://www.tweak3d.net/tweak/voodoo3/

As far as the leaked drivers, just try what you have.
If you are happy with em, don't worry about it. It is
usually a good idea to get the latest drivers, but
the "leaked" ones are beta and have had mixed reviews.
Try getting the latest non-beta from the 3dfx website.

Once you've tweaked the hardware try the Quake3 tweaks in the "Connection,
Framerate and Visual Tweaks" section at
http://www.upsetchaps.com/quake3guide/AquaQuake3Guide.html . IIRC the
author(s) use or used Voodoo3s.

You're right about the leaked drivers.  My framerate went from 45fps 800x600
to 38 using moving from the latest beta drivers on the 3dfx site to the new
leaked drivers.

Thanks for the info and the URL.
