Voodoo5: Has someone tested new amigamerlin 1.03 drivers?

I read in NG 3dfxproducts.voodoo5 of this new driver. It sounds very good and I d'lded it. But before installing, I would like to ask you, if someone has experiences with it. Rolf

They seem to be working great for me - no hard benchmarks (except gained ~1000 points in 3dmark2000). Things do seem smoother, though. I'd stayed away from post-3dfx drivers since the first x3dfx set was so buggy, but these seem pretty good. I also downloaded the "community" drivers, but decided to wait until they hit the known probs before giving them a try. HTH, Kendt PS - These don't seem to actually be rewritten drivers, just have tweaked settings to expose features already in the driver set.

BTW - haven't tested N4 with these drivers yet, just GPL, GP3, and SBK2K1 (for racing sims, other games OK too).

Ed, I downloaded the driver from www.falconfly.de/3dfx.htm Haven't tried it out yet though. I'll probably give it a go tomorrow. Let me know how you make out. Bert Edward_C wrote:

I tried the new driver and went right back to the driver I was using (1.04.00, I believe). On my system, the amigamerlin driver caused the display to "pop" out (so the right and left borders of the screen disappeared) and back in again. As soon as I saw that, I went back to the old driver. I don't know if functionality was an improvement. On the positive side, it was real easy to install, though... BRH wrote:
