Yeah, I've been using the V5 1.0.1 drivers with my V3/2000 since they came out in early August. I too noticed that 2D performance has degraded on the V3 in this release, so I'm going back to 1.0.1. As a side note, however, the 1.0.1 drivers solved a problem I had with the beta 12 drivers that would cause all USB input to die whenever I tried to resize a window and held the mouse button down for more than a couple of seconds. I have spoken with a few people about this and apparently not everyone has this issue--it might be specific to Sawtooth G4s; one of our news editors has a V3 in a Yikes G4 and doesn't have the problem.

Errr, hate to break this to anyone, but the 101 3Dfx MacTools cdev certainly recognized a V3 card. And worked very similar to the last beta drivers (b12). Bugs and all (screenshot?).

What seem ironic is that the recently released 108 drivers seem to work much worse on a V3 than the 101 V5 drivers.
