Welcome to Velocity Drivers

One home for Velocity9x, VelocityNT and the drivers that follow, with a hardware database built from real test records.

Velocity9x began as a display driver for one card, an S3 Trio64, written from scratch against the Windows 98 driver contracts. Three months later it gives Direct3D, OpenGL, Glide and ATI 3DCIF to cards spanning nearly two decades: from the 1997 Rage IIC and SiS 6326 to Intel HD 4600 and GCN Radeons.

That growth needed a better home than a README, so here it is.

What’s here

  • The hardware database: every card the drivers know, its status under each project, and exactly which interfaces have run on it. Every entry comes from a test record and links back to it. A card that works under Windows 98 is not assumed to work under Windows 2000 or XP.
  • Games and benchmarks: what has run where, with the measured frame rates and the versions they were measured on.
  • Downloads: release packages straight from GitHub, refreshed every time the site is built.
  • Documentation: installing, troubleshooting and contributing, including how to lend a machine through remote help.

What’s next

VelocityNT, the Windows 2000 and XP driver, is in development and will report here when it has something to try. Until then, its page says what it is aiming for and nothing more.

If you have a card the drivers don’t support yet, the community page is where to start.
