Koolsmoky, uno dei nostri sviluppatori del software per la configurazione delle schede grafiche basate su hardware 3dfx, ha reso disponibile una nuova release del suo driver kit, pacchettizzata in due versioni. Una per le schede video basate sul chip VSA-100 (3dfx Voodoo4 e Voodoo5) ed un'altra per gli acceleratori grafici 3dfx Voodoo2.

Entrambi i package sono stati progettati per essere utilizzati con il Sistema Operativo Windows XP e sono DirectX 7 compliant.

Koolsmoky, one of our driver developers, have released a new version of it's driver.

This driver is distributed in two versions: one for graphic cards based on VSA100 chip (3Dfx Voodoo4 and Voodoo5), the other for 3D graphic accelerators based on Voodoo2 chipset; both have been developed to be used on Windows XP Operating System.

Both versions are DirectX 7 compliant.

Improvements for Voodoo4/5 version

Added option to force turn on Voodoo4,5 DVI output. Place string "ForceDFP" set to "1" under registry key,
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services \3dfxvs\Device0".
Replace number of Device0 accordingly.

This should help those having trouble with DFP hot plug detection. If you are looking for a PC BIOS to flash your Voodoo5 5500 PCI DVI Macintosh, come visit the 3dfxzone forums.

Fixed so that Glide/OpenGL runs properly on selected board in a multi-board environment. If an application does not allow board selection, use registry tweek "FX_GLIDE_SST_PRIMARY" and set value to the board number to swap as primiary Glide board.

Fixed so that Voodoo5 6000 runs on top of AGP to PCI riser cards. All FSAA/SLI modes have been tested. Kudos for those who are lucky to have both.

Improvements for Voodoo2 version

• Includes fixes for memmap errors and desktop corruptions.
• Optimized for 3dnow! and mmx.
• FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL = 0 will force VSYNC off. V2 SLI may have problems syncing the scanlines when VSYNC is off.
• Alphablending dither subtraction is disabled by default. Set SSTH3_ALPHADITHERMODE = 3 to enable dither subtraction.
• 4x4 dither matrics is used when alphablending dither subtraction is enabled. Other wise it's always 2x2.
• Set SSTV2_MISMATCHED_SLI = 1 for mismatched SLI support. This may not work due to differences in V2 board design. If you have problems try swapping the PCI slot order of the V2 boards.
• If the screen goes blank but you still hear the application running in the background, reconnect your display and pass-through cable to the second V2 or set SSTV2_SWAPBOARDS = 1
• Win9x/ME: copy glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll to c:\windows\system
• Quantum3D Obsidian2 X-24, X-16, and similar SLI boards must have the following set.
  SSTV2_FT_CLKDEL = 5
  SSTV2_TF0_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_TF1_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_TF2_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
  SSTV2_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
  SSTV2_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
  SSTV2_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
  SSTV2_GRXCLK = 90
