**Raziel** · April 13th, 2001

Pete's plugins are the best(at least for my GeForce2 Pro)

tidus · April 13th, 2001

Pete's D3D works the best for me.

The good news is I've addressed a fair few stability problems in my current build

Pete's OpenGL

pete wins, but that says more about the cards people use than about the quality/popularity of the plugin.

Very true

With 3dfx out of the picture, and people switching over to nVidia cards, my "retirement" day is becoming nearer and nearer

well...not as long as I still have those voodoo2's in my pc, hehehe

It'll be at least a few more years to go before voodoo cards will cease to exist.

When I replace my Voodoo3, I'll probably incinerate the blasted thing. I've had it since a little after my Graduation ('98) when they first came out, and I STILL haven't run through a single PC game that actually worked right! It's really quite pitiful...I'm sitting here drooling over the Voodoo2 I gave my little brother when I 'upgraded' that works with every game it's ever been fed.

The only things I HAVE gotten it to work with are emu's, and that's just weird.

**RVWinkle** · April 14th, 2001

I usually use Lewpy's but from my expierence Pete's DX6 runs just as well on my Voodoo 2 most of the time.

It'll be sad to see Lewpy's Glide plugin die even though it's inevitable now that 3dfx is dead.

I use Pete's OGL since it is the only one that works prperly w/my GEForce 2 GTS card. I've tried both D3D plugins and they do weird things. This may be because one is for DX 6, one is for DX 7, and I have DX 8. OGL works w/everything. It is fast, stable, and easy to use. Also FSAA (on my card) works fne w/it. It is OGL all the way for me.

sincerely,

I use Lewpy's 3dfx, its what works best on my Voodoo3. Also, since my card doesn't support 32-bit accelerated in full screen, Pete's don't work very well in 16 bit. To the guy w/ voodoo3 problems: I dunno what's wrong w/ yours, but it always runs well w/ everything for me.
