    SiS6326 and Monster voodoo2

    Untill I get a new Mother board and the Savage card I ordered I am running an integrated SiS6326 (have you ever seen a worse card--it's horrible!!!) and a monster voodoo 2 (Diamond) I can't get Shogo to Run from the voodoo. Help?

    Yeah Payne,

    I've got a 6326 too and it really sucks! Can't even offer a decent frame rate in Need for Spped III in 640x480 16bit mode!!!

    I've tried dowloading the D3D driver and things merely improve a little. Still a far cry from the mainstream accelerators!

    Any help? I need it too!

    Is your M/B a PCCHIPS board? I'm getting the same sort of problems with a M577 M/B and a Diamond Speedstar A50 (SiS 6326 chipset). I can't get any 3DFX game to run.

    Yes, it is a PCChips M/B and I have hated it since I got it. I tried to run NFL Blitz and it would crash every time. Now (until I get my new stuff) I have a Monster VoodooII and they do seem to work well together, except I can't use it to play shogo, the game keeps reverting to the sis6326.

    Your story sounds strangely familiar. I don't think the problem is with the SiS chipset but with the motherboard. I tried using an old PCI S3 VGA card instead of the Diamond and got exactly the same results. Games would either ignore the Voodoo card or crash.

    When you select "Display" in shogo does it have the Voodoo card as an option?

    Yes, but if I choose it the game says "reinitilizing renderer" but then looks the same--I check and it still says primary card or something. Every time. Are there some D3D drivers I need to download?

    I have bought dual voodoo2 card so I decide to buy a cheap 2D card because I don't need anything like TNT. But after I put it into my AGP slot, I think I have wasted my money on the SIS 6326.(IT REALLY SUCKS!!!)
    The 2D is fine but the 3D just .....
    Now I decide to buy another 2D base video card.

    I had the latest DirectX6 drivers and the latest 3DFX card drivers but still couldn't get the Voodoo to work. Looks like you'll have to be patient and wait for your new M/B.
