Voodoo 3 In Windows 2k

[sil3nc3]

Hi..

Iam trying to run a v3 3000 agp in win 2k

i have downloaded the lateist drivers which are

v3-w2k-1.03.00.exe @ 6.5mb

i install them.. all the desktop resolutions work but when it comes to playing games in opengl iam getting somthing like 3 - 4 fps
when i should be getting around 50 - 60.

the game i mostly play is Counterstrike but iam getting the same in Unreal and Unreal Tornement

any ideas on this matter..

Please reply

Cheers, Ric

My 3500 runs fine under 2K, as did the 3000 TV-out I used to have. It might sound stupid, but does it work with 2K's native support? Else try a newer version of DirectX. Really need to know a bit more about your system (mobo etc) to give a proper answer.

the native drivers dont support open gl so i cant run CS or anything useing that

it used to be ok on these drivers but when i install them now it's just ****e fps

I'm also using a Voodoo3 AGP with Win2K and although I have not checked out the FPS rates I can play without a hitch and the display is more than acceptable.

I can't test this right now, but are you certain that the FPS count is accurate?

Is gameplay to your satisfaction?

I'll post more details about my own setup when I get home this evening.

I have not had time yet to test the framerate on my own system, but the WinDrivers main page had <a href="http://www.ntcompatible.com/3dfxfaq.shtml" target="_blank">this</a> which may help you.

Adept's right if you had a frame rate of 3ps it'd look like it was under a strobe light. Somethings not telling you the truth.

What are you using to test your framerates? Some external counters can screw with the display, grinding the system to a halt like you're describing.

These guys are right, you would go crazy with 3fps! I have the same drivers for my Voodoo3 and run opengl in Counterstrike, at 800x600 resolution. My fps last time I looked was somewhere around 90fps. (mostly my processor), if you are really getting low frames, try a lower res., or run in D3D mode then compare your FPS, if thats no help, try reistalling your drivers, or check out your system to see if there is a problem somewhere else. I'm getting a Geforce3 Ti500 Xtasy tomorrow!@!@!@! YaY!
