    Hmm....

    Dunno if anyone can help me, but I'll give it a shot.

    I was told by three seperate Creative Labs technicians that I should be able to get higher then 800*600 on my Creative Voodoo 2 12 Megs. But I can't get it to work.

    Teeth told me that you need SLI to get the higher res to work.

    Was wondering if anyone out there knows any little tricks I can do to get the higher res?

    Kegs.

    PS, Where's Shinji? I miss all his smiley faces. :P

    As far as I know you need SLI. However I'm running 3dfx enhanced windows desktop in 1280x1024. Don't notice anything supposed to let you run 3dfx enhanced windows programs or something.

    Yep Keg lad u need SLI to run 3dfx in 1024x768 and even if u did get it to run on one card the frame rate would be sh*te! 800x600 is just as good anyway, only real difference is the text is a bit smaller and the graphics look a tiny wee bit smoother.

    Dunno came with the board. It's got massive sign saying "3dfx accelerated. Not for export outside the US or canada" when I click the windows setup. Still looks like it doesn't do **** though.

    You do need the SLI alright, I run it in 960 x 720 at about 60fps. The main difference I notice is the player models look a lot better, the wall textures and stuff look the exact same. And, as Cave points out, the text is pretty unreadable in 1024 x 768 :)

    That 'enchanced 3dfx desktop' your talking about is that 'lovely' purdy picture it places as your wall paper..
