I have just known that I can get a VFX1 headset for $300. That's incredible for me, but... I have an AGP GeForce 2 MX Board, and I have read that these helmets don't support AGP. Has anyone tried the VFX1 with this card? If you could please reply to sefirotsp@lycos.com, I would really appreciate. Nonetheless, I will probably be buying one of those helmets :-) | ||

First of all, I am going to speculate a lot in this message, so please correct me if I say anything wrong. I have read that the VFX1 is not compatible with AGP video cards. Nonetheless, the latest drivers make it run (supposedly, I haven't tried it yet since I haven't got my VFX1) under W98, which at the same time allows multiple Monitors with one video card for each display. Therefore, I thought that by installing an ISA or PCI secondary video card (for a theoretical secondary monitor), it would be possible to get the helmet working under a brand new system with AGP, just by adding an old video card in one of the free PCI or ISA slots. Am I right? Any suggestions to this? Well, nonetheless I will be trying all my theory (if I don't get the helmet to work with my AGP Creative GeForce 2 MX card) with an ISA Trident 8900D (I imagine there won't be much difference with the ISA Trident 8900C, supported by the VFX1@640x480x256. If you are interested in this test, I will post the results here. Anything which saves time will be appreciated, thanks. Dani. | ||

I was just looking through some old messages no the old BBS and found a couple of people that had success with the VFX1 and AGP cards eg. http://www.stereo3d.com/bbs/messages/4523.html(Search for "VFX1 + AGP" from the main page and you should find quite a few responses). The cards that they mentioned that worked were the ATI Rage Pro AGP 2x and All-In-Wonder Pro AGP 2x. Keep in mind that it would still be only 256 colours 640x480 @60Hz. Good luck all! | ||

Yes there is some AGP Voodoo Rush boards with active feature connectors that I believe will work. I know VRJUNKIE (I like his opinions) knows of a card or two that should work... he has talked about that half a dozen times with different users over the last year or so. :-) $300.00US for a VFX1 is not that greatest price just keep an eye on eBay for sure. No offence to anyone but if you have never used a VFX1 before you might be disappointed. Not saying you will be but I've used them over the last 4-5 years and know the capabilities and limitations. Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions. Otherwise keep an eye on eBay for sure! | ||

Anyone know what to do to use a all-in-wonder (rage pro ap 2x) with the vfx1. There was a post earlier but I didn't see anything further. I now have one and would be interested in hearing from anyone who got this working. Thanks! belrophon@hotmail.com |
