*Unofficial
Performance Q3A DLLs from ShugaShack
*Unofficial
Intel-Optimized Q3A DLLs from BarrysWorld (Intel
CPUs only)
(NOTE: You MUST install the point release to use these. These DLLs can
increase performance by 5 - 20%. However, they may not work with
add-on mods. Copy these DLL files to your \QUAKE3 folder. If you have
any problems with a mod, delete the files and Q3A will default back to
using slower VM code)

3D Card Drivers:
IMPORTANT NOTE! I do not
recommend beta drivers.
ATI RADEON CARDS:
You can find Radeon drivers at Rage
Underground or ATI's
website
NVIDIA CARDS (TNT, TNT2, Geforce):
NVidia
Detonator4 Drivers (for
ALL NVidia chipset cards,I
recommend these drivers over the manufacturer's drivers - they'll
usually give better performance with more stability)
3DFX CARDS (Voodoo2,3,4,5):
NOTE: Since 3Dfx is
dissolving their company, I've mirrored these drivers on my site. More are coming.
Voodoo2 Mis-matchedSLI Cards Patch for
3Dfx Reference Drivers (You can also get
additional information on modifying any V2 drivers for
mis-matched cards at Devnull's site here...)
Voodoo2 Reference Win95/98 -
v3.01.01 2/1/99 (I
personally think this was the best V2 driver ever written, but it has
no OpenGL support so you need the Metabyte WickedGL miniport for
Quake3)
Voodoo2 Extended Features Control Panel for
2/1/99 Voodoo2 reference driver (Use this to get clock and VSync
control panel with the 3Dfx V2 reference driver above)

you're having problems getting a V2 working on an AMD Athlon CPU)
