Finally got V3 and Win2K to work!, how about WickedGL

webview
I downloaded the drivers from: and followed the instructions and for the first time (since RC1 for me) my V3-2000 works for games in Windows 2000. I was beginning to think it never would. Anyway, does the WickedGL driver work in Win2K? I have been using it in Win98 for a while and have become used to it (it rocks).

Wink2k, V3, Q3A, OpenGL fix!

Mix
Just in case people aren't being specific, I thought I'd post this little diddy I found on the board. You can get the 3dfx beta drivers that fix your opengl issue at: I'm grabbing them as we speak, and if they don't work, I'll let you know via the board.

Does anyone know what the latest drivers are for a Viper 770 (TNT2) that work with Win2K? I just finished installing Final and the latest drivers I got were 3. 64 from betaos. com. Is this the latest? It seems to work fine with UT (haven't tried anything else).

Win2k ate my Via

euankirkhope
After a few (under-exageration) installations of the beta win2k i have a few findings: Viatech mvp3's bios isn't ACPI friendly, the result is all PCI devices on the same IRQ, the com port and lpt bios routings have been destroyed.
