Major Issues with Voodoo 5 5500 AGP

I checked the docs, and it says nothing about issues with this card.

Depending on either of the different drivers I have tried, I get different results.

One thing that DOES remain common is that most of the text doesn't show in the menus and in gameplay, and only flashes once every few seconds. So basically you get a screen with no text, and you get a glimpse of it every now and then.

Depending on drivers, the 3d models themselves are also generally screwed up, sometimes more, sometimes less. On my WinXP pc here with the latest MS drivers, I can play the game without my eyes killing me, but the models are still a bit messed up, and the text doesnt show.

Has anyone gotten this problem before?

Voodoos are a very old card, which are now unsupported by all games. They're unsupported because 3dfx went out of business and dont release drivers that support the latest DirectX version. You might find some 3rd party drivers somewhere that do work for modern games...
