Title: 32 bit video
Post by: enrico on June 05, 2000, 05:28:00 PM

Hi,
I have a AMD k6-2, a voodoo3-2000 AGP, 98 MB ram and Windows95; if i check Aces High in 32bit mode, i can't see anything except a white screen.
What could it be due to?

PS. How can i ensure that my system can run at 32bit?

Voodoo's can't do 32bit as far as I know. You'll need to stay with 16 bit, sorry. It's one of the (many) reasons I went with the Diamond Viper V770 Ultra.

Sorry, Voodoos can't do 32 bit.

thanks.
Another question: the program (AH) says "Primary display driver", and do not show any "Direct 3d" option.
Is it ok, or is there something wrong with my drivers?

The following URL describes why the Voodoo cards don't support 32bit.

It will only show another option if the games sees another (other than your primary display driver) video card that has D3D capiblity.  If the only card in the box with D3D is your primary video card, well then there isn't any other choice.

If you card is a combo 2d/3d card, it shows up as the primary display driver.  If your card is a piggy back card like the Voodoo II, it shows up as a separate entry.
