71763	2002-08-16 22:46:00	Is there anyone out there who is currently using a Voodoo3 card with DirectX8 or above games? If so what drivers do you use? I've had a look around voodoofiles.com and there seem to be a couple of possibilities, does anyone have a recommendation for a good driver set? Cheers Mike	MikeH (1096)
71764	2002-08-16 23:41:00	Try the Omega set of drivers but the reality is its all over for the Voodoo 3 with new games. Have a look round these 2 sites for info and drivers sets but you should just bite the bullet and get an NVidia based card. http://x3dfx.da.ru/ go.to	John Grieve (367)
71765	2002-08-16 23:43:00	Forgot to say. Some users have had some success by using the Voodoo 4/5 drivers which are DX8 enabled but this is not garanteed to work. Try it though just in case you are one of the lucky ones.	John Grieve (367)
71766	2002-08-17 00:38:00	Thanks John I assume that DirectX is backwards compatible, ie. if I had DX7 drivers and DX8 installed, but played only games requiring DX7 - that would work ok? Or if I install DX8 am I committed to getting drivers and/or a card that supports it? Cheers Mike	MikeH (1096)
