Windows²ººº Voodoo V 5500 AGP or PCI users, step in! Good Tw

This is a discussion about Windows²ººº Voodoo V 5500 AGP or PCI users, step in! Good Tw in the Windows Games category; Very interesting, but 3dfx's explanation for your problem with only using one of the VSA100 chips is cause there not unified, so windows only thinks you have half of what is really there but it will still use it.

Very interesting,
but 3dfx's explanation for your problem with only using one of the VSA100 chips is cause there not unified, so windows only thinks you have half of what is really there but it will still use it. The V5 6000 (if it really exists) is supposed to fix that.

The V5 6000 will never fix it. Not unless nVidia decides to produce the board. (For those not current with the state of 3dFX's affairs, they are out of business, with nVidia acquiring most of their assets.)

Most? heh. Nvidia has all of 3dfx's CORE assets. Tech support for Voodoo boards is being done through a third-party. Nvidia has never stated they will release new drivers and x3dfx have stated last week after their driver release that they do not plan on releasing newer drivers.
 
DIE 3DFX DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
