X800 cards under Win98SE - drivers?

K

Kendt Eklund

I'm considering replacing my 9700 Pro with an X800 in my gaming rig
(HL2's fault). Thing is, I have a dual-boot setup with Win98SE and
the 3.8 Cats to run alot of older games that don't like XP or the
newer drivers, and XP with the latest and greatest ATI or Omega
drivers for everything else (currently ATI 4.12 betas).
Does anyone know the oldest drivers that work with X800 series? I'd
stick the 9700 Pro in my other fast PC, except I really need to sell
the 9700 to get a little cash for the X800, and that PC also has my
old Voodoo5 and a dual-boot for old Glide games.

TIA,
Kendt

I use the BETA 4.11 drivers in WinME. They work with the X800.

The latest Win ME driver works fine as far as I can see. I'm using 4.11b
with 98SE and it's so far one of the best yet. I use Omega's set for W2k and
XP with satisfactory results...

If you haven't already, check out www.3dfxzone.it ---good stuff for Voodoo 5
there...

Are you running GPL w/AA successfully with that? Did you have to use
the core.ini change (can't remember the setting right now) that hurts
performance?

Thanks,
