TurboGL and Windows 2000

[Mr. Cold]

When will Matrox release TurboGL for Windows 2000 driver so that I can play Quake 3 Arena in Win2k really fast?

So I assume you play Q3 at 640x480?

Sorry Nuno, but I think you need to clarify that one......

It was just a thought. I don´t have win2000, but for what I´ve seen, the win2000 ICD performance is getting close to the win98 one. I´ve got turbogl just for testing. I use the ICD all the time, because it´s faster than Turbogl (960x720x32, highest geometric detail, highest texture detail, bilinear filtering). Even at the default highest quality settings (800x600x32, trilinear, texture detail one notch from max) Tgl gives around 41 fps and the ICD gives 45 fps. Yes, Tgl is faster at 640x480, but is any G400 owner out there playing at 640x480? Well, I suppose so.

So I really don´t get all this urge for TurboGl´s. And I really doubt they ever release a Tgl for win2000.

I am playing all of my games on NT 5 and I am very happy with the performance. I will post some UT and Q3 scores tommorow but UT runs at roughly 24fps at 1024X768 with everything turned on and around 32fps at 800x600 with everything turned on. This is using a demo I found on the net.
