i'm running win98 (and plan to until i die prolly). i looked at voodoofile's website and i see a bunch of drivers for the v5 card. which drivers do you guys suggest for this card? i hear a lot of people recommend the wickedgl driver, but how do the other drivers compare? is there anything better than the wickedgl drivers?

The best drivers, bar none!!! are the 1.04 WHQL drivers that 3dfx put out just before they died. They are probably the best video card drivers ever written. They are compatible with just about everything and virtually bug free. I used them for over a year when I had my V5. I tried all the others and those were the best.

the 1.04.01 betas are the best for overall speed/compatablity. but in a few games the 1.04.00 wqhl drivers are better.
I found the 1.08.03 x3dfx-c drivers are best for graphics quality esp. in opengl but they are slower than the 1.04.01 betas. I never tried the 1.08.04 x3dfx drivers but they maybe worth trying.

wicked gl is great for some opengl games and works for more games than are listed.
