Quantum3D is a great company , but they can be a bit slow in posting patches. The quake patch is already out. I'm going home now , and am going to get the latest drivers. As soon as I find a set that works,
I'll post the link.
Some people apparently had some luck using the New Guillemont Phoenix drivers. (ftp://ftp.guillemot.com) Try at own risk.
I do know that ALL drivers out there are Beta drivers (with the latest posts being Release candidates). Reference Drivers won't be out till at least the 15th of October. So far, I actually love the card (despite the ironic lack of 3d). It's fast, sharp, and my text windows scroll like the wind (90 lps/250 lps 32/16 bit mode). I'll keep you as I find new drivers, etc.
It's not unusual for cards these days to ship with early/incomplete drivers. It saddens me a bit that a 3dfx card would ship this way, though. Still, 3dfx did not officially post Release drivers yet, so maybe the card makers got tired of waiting and shipped : )
Beta drivers don't bother me. I live on the Bleeding edge of technology. It's the new 3dfx buyers out there which might get a bad impression of an otherwise superb product. |
