3dfx Voodoo 3 FAQ -

OpenGL Driver Installation
The Voodoo 3 boasts some of the fastest performance ever seen with a 3D
card, and despite some of its shortcomings, it is probably the best way
to play GL Doom Legacy. First download the latest drivers from 3dfxs
web site and install them. This will set up an OpenGL ICD, which can be
used to play GL Legacy with, but for faster performance download the 1.48
Mini-GL from 3dfxs site, here.
Extract the drivers as instructed to a temporary folder, and copy the 'opengl32.dll'
from the Quake1 directory created within the temporary folder into the
GL Doom Legacy folder. This should now make GL Doom Legacy use the Voodoo
3 Mini-GL, which result in incredibly high framerates, as can be seen on
the benchmarks section.
FAQ
I haven't encountered any other problems with the Voodoo 3, but if you
find any specific to the Voodoo 3 then mail me.
Tweaks
There are several tweaks which can be used to increase performance on the
Voodoo 3, such as disabling 'wait for V-sync' and overclocking the clock
speed of the Voodoo 3, but remember that overclocking your Voodoo 3 will
result in voiding your warranty and possible hardware failure. It is recommended
to use Voodoo3 Overclock to
tweak your Voodoo 3 as required.
