Hey Guys,

Well with the new games comming out, it just keeps getting harder and harder to keep up with them.. due to my old grafix card.. I've tried about every user driver in the world and its helped me get by a lil further, the last driver I used was for win98/ME and lets me do pretty any thing in the settings pannel, but still kinda craps out on me for performance

I had my v3/3k overclocked to 200mzh but that proved to be unstable after a long period of time and had to drop her down to 185mhz..

Yeah I know I should probaly get a new card but I cant right now.. so I'm wondering if anyone knows of some outstanding drivers for my card?

I'm on win98se btw.

Gamers-Ammo (http://www.gamers-ammo.com/3dfxmod.shtml) has "User Modified" drivers for all versions of the Voodoo series of cards. They also have the latest official drivers from 3Dfx, plus modified miniGL drivers.;)

I've used a few modified drivers on my V3 PCI. Be careful with those new settings if you try them, they boost image quality a lot but kill framerate badly. When I turn down quality, only a slight FPS gain, and it looks like butt. I stick with the newest actual 3dfx drivers, they have the highest framerate for me and only a bit less quality.

This is on a Celeron 666, Intel i810, 128MB RAM, with card OC to 185 mhz BTW.
