DirectX 9.0C
AmigaMerlin 3.1 R11 & SFFT 40 and up

yeah sure is mate!your's is geil too Turrican :hrr: :hrr: Crikey! Voodoo's Rule! Whooo hoo!

Do you have a Voodoo 5 6000 also? if so which one or are you planned to get one?

The reason why I am building this is to help support by testing the latest drivers for the Voodoo 5 6000 in new a sold games, my goal is to get Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 up and running on the 6K

Let's see if this baby will get off the ground It will be like flying an A380

Hahaha Hels

Well my first crash was the worst, I tried a looping with a 747-400F above the rotterdam Feyenoord Soccer stadium and I had a big stall and crashed in the middel of that thing

Remember the saying from UT ?

MMMMONSTERR KILLLLL!!!!!

Anyways I will also play lot's of Glide games on it, like Unreal ver 2.26 & Unreal Return To Na Pali w00t! Gonna make lot's of FSAA x8 shots for you all!

So here it is finally installed with a 5500 AGP though, I rather check if that works out first before installing a 6K and no problems at all.

Now for some game testing I ran Unreal Tournament @ 1600 x 1200 x16 in Glide with no FSAA, FSAA x2 and even it was playable @ a staggering setting of FSAA x4! I was like Crikey!!! Far Out! okay the avrarage speed was around the 33 Frames per Second, but still impressive for such an old piece of equipment which never reached the retail market, I was very impressed by it's insane amount of 3D rendering power, espeacially for it's time.

More screen shots of that later tonight, now that's the maximal settings and capabillities of a 6000

Well now I have tested these 2 games with the nice FSAA x8 and LOD Bias -2 settings with AmigaMerlin 3.1 R11

Monster Truck Madness 2 @ Reso 640 x 480 x16 in 3dfx Glide API:
