FalconFly's Tip -
WickedGL comes into action where 3dfx V1.1 OpenGL compilant Drivers reach their limitations.
This unique package is an advanced OpenGL Driver Tool, that was developed even after 3dfx went down...
It offers greater compatibility to many Games supported, and can offer significantly higher performance in some games (e.g. Counterstrike) !
