All right, I know the Voodoo III was a card most gamers have experience with at some point; what kind of drivers does one recommend that I use? I'm using the stock standard 3dfx ones at the moment, however, I have a suspition that there are more out there. www.voodoofiles.com has many, but I'm not sure if they're compadible with WickedGL, or even with the card itself.
What should I use? Stick with the one's I'm using, or take other drivers?
Wicked GL Rocks
you could also check madonion.com as I noticed that they have a number of drivers for 3dfx, openGL, glide etc etc.
Well odyssey owns 2 voodoo 5's and a voodoo 3 3500 so ill get him to reply tomorrow when he comes round to my place unless he gets on the net earlier
wicked Gl for sure heaps better fps
Well the truth is that the standard CD drivers no matter how old are always the best for 3dfx cards. You may get better FPS with newer drivers, but the image quality and compatability will go out the door with the newer ones (even the 3dfx official ones). I can get better performance with newer Voodoo5 drivers but its not worth degrading the image quality to nVidia standards just to get an extra few FPS!
wickedgl all the way
and guess where to get em

^I agree with above^
that link dont work reaper u cock head.
go to www.wicked3d.com and download WickedGL, and you will never look back at the default glide wrapper that HL and Q3 comes with.
Btw, theres also a new version of the Glide wrapper for HL that supports the Voodoo3 right through to the Voodoo5. (Or so I have been told)
i think its available from sierra's website
Yup, the mini gl that HL installs is 4 versions behind the current one. You can get the current and previous versions here

I have tried using some 3rd party drivers from voodoofiles.com for my voodoo 3 and every one of them crashed my computer :( . I reccomend that you use the standard 3dfx drivers (at least they work!)
