2 Video Cards in XP

[Quest16]

I just put in my V5 PCI to go alongside my GF2 hoping that there was some way possible for me to use glide in XP.

I can see both cards are installed and functioning, and I've installed what are supposed to be functional drivers for my V5 in XP. However I'm unable to see the option to use glide in Tribes 1, only OpenGL.

Is this possible? If it is, any ideas on how to get glide working? :\

I'm not getting any option to use the V5 in any 3d application, is there something else I have to do to allow myself to use the V5 for 3d?

I have a voodoo3 2000 pci and not many of my 3d games were working very well or at all: Quake 3 , SOF, Unreal....but Startopia works fine...my main problem now is that instead of expanding the entire screen to take up my whole monitor when in 800x600 mode it centers it on the screen. Xp drivers for 3dfx seem to be out of the question and everything I've tried so far with 3rd party XP drivers has just made it worse or I've had to backtrack to before. Anyway....I'm thinking about just getting a new card which is a shame since I've had nothing but good things with it in 98se.

You may have to make your Voodoo the primary display card. Remember the secondary card is only 2D at best.

2D at best? as in 2D or 1D?

BTW, isn't this more of a software/OS question?

What? If anything this should be in video. But I think General Hardware is a perfect forum for it.

Quest,
why do you have 2 video cards? Correct me if I'm wrong, but for dual monitor support you need to of the *same* video cards...

You're wrong

I have it running on winXP with a Geforce 2 GTS (AGP) & Voodoo 3 (PCI)

Do you have XP Home or XP Pro, I read somewhere that XP Home doesn't support Multi-Monitor setup, only XP Pro does :| Which of course is total BS since 98 did it !!
