I'm still trying to install a 3dfx Voodoo 3 video card (PCI) in win3.11. So far I've gotten a max resolution of 800x600 and no better than 16 colors in win3.11 using the standard 3x SVGA divers. I've tried Scitech Display Doctor ver. 6.53 with no luck. I even tried putting win3.11 on top of Dos 7.0 out of win95 OSR1 to see if I could trick the 3dfx program into installing onto win3.11. Still no luck….. I've tried voodoo beta drivers and they don't want to install onto win3.11 ether. Anybody have any other ideas on how to get the 3dfx Voodoo drivers loaded onto win3.11? My computer is multi-boot and the card works great with everything else so I don't want to replace it. If I could only get that card to perform better running win3.11.....

You tried to install Windows 95 drivers on 3.11? Dude...

Anyway, SDD doctor may be your only option here. What version were you using?

Personally I would be thrilled to get 800x600 in Windows 3.11 using a modern card like that.
