Well, that's news to me.

Maybe he has mistaken your A1XE for an X1000.

radeon has no warp3d support under 68k so you wouldnt want it for 3d gaming anyway. high res 2d, and this includes workbench is not a problem though even with voodoo.

He's using an 030 anyway and the Warp3D driver needs at least an 040 which is why I didn't mention it.

The original Avenger (Voodoo 3) Warp3D drivers require an 040 FPU. The ones I modified should work with the 030+FPU (MMU recommended and maybe required too) although they are for big box Amigas. The 1200 Mediator uses special drivers but I know someone with a 1200 Mediator was getting a speedup from my driver (had to be using it) with a certain configuration. The Warp3D.library and most other drivers only need an 020+FPU although the 68881/68882 FPU used with the 020/030 is very slow compared to the 040 and 060 FPU. It's still probably worthwhile speed wise though. Descent would probably be playable but Quake likely not. I never found anyone with an 030+FPU+3D to test though.

The Mediation Voodoo 3 driver is more stable than the Radeon Mediator driver. Some Radeon cards and hardware configurations seem to have problems. There is the OpenPCI driver from Ratte though too.

I tried a modified avenger driver with my old Blizzard 1230 + FPU on my Mediator + Voodoo 3 but the games would not start.

It was Phillipe Bovier (mrodfr) that was using the modified drivers on a 1200 Mediator and was getting a speedup. I don't know for sure what settings and what he installed or renamed to get it to work. He was using MMU=YES and ThoR's Mu 68060.library though.
