3dfx Voodoo3 V1.07.00b |
Beta, DirectX8 Driver, NO 3dfx Tools | |
The V1.03.00 DirectX7 Driver has been found to
make the racing game GTA3 often work with a Voodoo3...
However, reports indicate success is most likely only on intel
based Systems, while commonly failing on Athlon based systems.
Note
about the UT2003 Demo :
Although not specifically designed for Voodoo3, the x3dfx V1.07.00 and/or NuDriver5 3rd party Drivers should
work quite well.
