3dfx in XP

Recommended Posts

I just bought myself a Windows XP Professional, and I think it's great, but there's one thing I don't like. It's the fact that 3dfx glide nor OpenGL won't work on Voodoo 5 frown

 

I don't like the idea of changing back to 98, or changing my 3D card, so I'd like to know if there's ANY way I could get them to work, or if there isn't, is there a fix to the problem coming up?

 

I'd appreciate any help.

Take your pick, go back to win2k or buy a new vid card, Thats it.

 

O and you can't buy XP yet unless you get a brand new pc and as far as I know no new pc's are coming with any 3dfx cards wink

Some people have gotten it to work, but it's not a guarantee. Basically, take the previous advice and buy a new video card, don't go to XP, or use 98 or 2k.

I'd check around the forums and see if some people have had success, but it's still up in the air. As far as I know, anything other than using 3dfx cards for display purposes is worthless in XP.

You won't be seeing any offical drivers from anyone. The open source movement might come up with something, but it's not a sure thing.
