Well my 3dfx friends, the truth does reveal it's self, we have discussed lots about the Velocity 200, and those topics still ended in doubts hehe, well I have proof like Gary, Oscar, yxfy do.


The driver install was rather a tricky thing to go through, I have tried all types of Velocity 100/200 drivers, but they just seem to be control apnnels, I even tried your Velocity 100/200 driver FalconFly, but that also seem to be a Controlpannel only driver.

So I searched out some other ideas, cause look'n at 16 colours isn't very pleasant haha. SO I tried the AMigaMerlin2.9, that was a nogo, kep the 16 colours, tried some other 3rd party drivers like the ones from 3Dhq, well my Velocity 200 friends even that is a nogo.

So I remembered that Gary Told me to use the origanla 3dfx drivers , but I didn't remember which ones lol, damn memory loss, I suppose it's my age lol. So I \came acros this driver on FalconFly's 3dfx Archives Driver Page:

As you can see, the Velocity 200 is called Voodoo3, maybe this is because that it's one of the first working Prototypes, it's a Rev.A0 2699 that from week 26 and year 1999, quite early model, the most models were mostly after week 32.

It's Bios chip also has a V3.2000 sticker, so maybe that declares the Voodoo3 2000/3000 driver

hahaha lol thanx for the hint never saw that one , a spelling error, well I have them much myself these days haha, atleast we are not alone on that

very well seen Eye-Q and thanx for the thanx everyone.

the Voodoo3 1000 runs @ core/mem 125Mha and the Velocity 200 @ core/mem 143Mhz

The Voodoo3 1000 AGP 16MB has 2 TMU's enabled.
The production model of the Velocity 200 would of had 1 TMU like it's Velocity 100 compettitor, the production Velocity 200 was advertised but never released.

but this early prototype of the Velocity 200 like all other 5 Velocity 200's have both TMU's enabled.

hmm must of been frustrating for those people too , my gosh.

but it does have 256x256 texturing , you need 2048 x 2048 for 32Bit right?

yeah exactly, there are millions of TNT2 M64's! at the computer store where I work, there are still TNT2M64 left overs

nice pic and how to deal with the 3dfx logo?

use photoshop?
