P2/300 with G400 and TurboGL in Quake3!!
ALL,
Ok, I'll cut to the chase. I'm very pleased with the new TurboGL drivers from Matrox. I hope they can get the ICD to perform at this speed. Anyway, here's my quick performance increase.
System: P2/266 o/c 300. 256MB SDRAM, and G400DH
Software:Q3 all options on high. 1024x768, 32-bit color, High texture resolution, Medium geometry detail, 32-bit color textures, etc..
I didn't do any Q3 demo tests yet, but I have noted one scene in Q3. The map is DM9. With the old ICD when going to the spot that yielded the slowest framerate, I was getting 19fps. After TurboGL, same spot, I'm getting 30fps.
That's close to a 60% increase! (My apeture size for AGP was 32MB before the change though..
)
