Author	Topic: Glide and V5 5500
Todesvogel Cadet	posted 06-10- 01:43 AM Picked up the V5 today. It works ok in SDOE, except when using Glide. Seems like Glide causes a strange horizontal aliasing problem. It's as if the V5 magnifies the aliases, with FSAA turned on or off, rather than reducing them. IP: Logged
Yardstick Pilot	posted 06-15- 10:16 AM The V5 doesn't like SDOE. Glide will run for me but only at 640x480. D3D has the usual visual artefacts that it always has had in this game and runs about 50% slower at 1024x768 than my old V2 SLI rig did. I'm considering reinstalling the V2s alongside the V5 and using a Glide switcher program just to get SDOE running properly in Glide. ------------------ Yardstick painted this IP: Logged

Yardstick Pilot	posted 06-16- 10:48 AM Thanks MH. The V5 is one impressive card. The problem in Glide may be a driver issue as I have also read that in some other games Glide is stuck at 640 x 480. ------------------ Yardstick painted this IP: Logged
Todesvogel Cadet	posted 06-16- 07:10 PM So far I've tested the V5 with Warbirds 2.76, WWII Fighters, MS CFS (uck!), Fleet Command, EAW, and as metioned before, SDOE (beta 76). Everything has worked well when the tested games were in either Glide or DirectX, except for SDOE in Glide. But I'm patient, and hope MH will fix the problem. Although I've seen those SDOE texture problems in DirectX mode, the problems haven't re-occured for some reason (I've played with all the V5 settings and not isolated any definant cause). Did you install the June 9th V5 drivers from http://www.3dfxgamers.com/? I did, but I'm not sure if they made a difference. I feel as though my computer may need a fresh Windows install because I simply yanked the Voodoo 1 and TNT 1 out, prior to installing the V5. Obviously the only reason to pick up a V5 is to have the Glide support, as the GTS is suppose to have better performance. Oh, and because the V5 is slightly cheaper. So, here's to hoping for a fix!
