New benchmark

Comanche4 dx 8.1 benchmark <a href="http://www2.novalogic.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.

It needs t&l, so it will probably not run on Matrox cards.

Sure. The demo part runs just fine on a KyroII, but to benchmark it "you need T&L". How logical is that?
Can´t wait for the KyroII SE drivers with its fake hardware T&L...

The best proof that all that T&L hype means nothing is here:



See how a card without T&L can remain on GF2 TI league on a "T&L" game

Just tried it on a G550:

Matrox Millennium G550 - English:

This video card does not support HW T&L (Hardware accelerated Transform & Lighting). Comanche 4 has been optimized for cards supporting HW T&L, and therefore will run slower on your hardware.

You are running Comanche 4 under Windows2000, which may reduce your overall performance.

The drivers for this video card may not be WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certified. If you experience any problems, please contact your video card manufacturer for updated drivers.

This video card meets all requirements to play!

Benchmark fails to run saying it requires T&L, yet the above says it should be OK, and the game does run (but jerk-o-vision in 640x480)
