Even More TurboGL musings
Folks,
I just had a thought. Seems like it's entirely possible that this TurboGL build (5.30.007) is the very first to correctly implement Trilinear Filtering.
On what do I base this thought? Well, consider this:
- Ant's scores, taken with the 5.12 version of TurboGL, are with Trilinear on.
- Our scores, with Trilinear on, are only marginally better than the beta ICD.
- Our scores, with Triliniear OFF, are substantially closer to Ant's.
The practical upshot is that is certainly seems that we can turn in really killer 1024x768x32bpp scores - IF we don't enable Trilinear. Which is about right, since trilinear is SUPPOSED to be a 30% hit in framerates!
- Gurm
P.S. It WOULD be nice, although we've discussed the ins and outs of this before, if we got a little readme with each release saying something like:
- Trilinear finally implemented
- Vertex Lighting broken (again)
etc. etc.
------------------
G. U. R. M. It's not hard to spell, is it? Then don't screw it up!
