Updated 3dfx Drivers

The x-3dfx team (former 3dfx employees) have release some unsupported, unofficial Voodoo 3/4/5 drivers for Win9x and Win2k. This will probably be the last driver release. Ctrl-Alt-Del has them as well if the x-3dfx site is slow.

Deus Ex and Ultima 9 are probably the biggest glide games that need a 3DFX card. As for UT, it runs fine in D3D on most cards

  probably not. The real reason to get a 3dfx card now is that there are glide games you wish to run. : baron calamity
  - and if NVidia puts Glide support in their next driver release, then that reason will be gone. : the archvile

Were I Nvidia I would continue to use the 3dfx line. Obviously we hardcore gamers can't be used as examples, but most generic gamers know of the 3dfx company and it's name recognition is higher. read about the best buy fucks who go into the store and demand a 3dfx and don't know wtf they are doing. Can't see why keeping on the 3dfx label would hurt Nvidia any... Maybe tailor it to the value market, etc.

8,9,14,
Again, unless Nvidia are complete morons and toss their reputation out the door, how can the statement saying "This will probably be the last driver release" stand? S3 still supported Diamond, Cisco supported Kalpana, and so on. I'm not saying that they will add new features in a driver rev, but to completely rule out driver releases, I want to see evidence of this.

3dfx. They started small, and they ended small.

This kinda pisses me off that there's no drivers for the Voodoo2. Guess I'll have to get a GF2MX for RottenCarcass (my off-to-the-side computer with 2 voodoo2 cards).

WHy would you say this is the last driver release? Unless Nvidia wants a class-action lawsuit for taking on the IP and company formerly known as 3dfx, I seriously doubt they will cease support or driver development. It probably will be reduced, but I'm pretty sure there will be limited support...
