You're definatly doing something wrong. What I don't know. How does the card perform in other games? What was the last video card you used for the game? Are you running a custom autoexec.cfg? We need more info to work from...

Hey Kruzin,
I think I fixed it.. (I believe it was v-sync)
anyway.. on my Celeron 433 + 128ram + G400
I got in quake2 @ 16-bit:
1024x768 demo1.dm2 54.8fps
1600x1200 demo1.dm2 28.9fps
1024x768 crusher.dm2 29.1fps
1600x1200 crusher.dm2 23.4fps
I think this is okay.. right?

That looks better

Part of the problem is crummy Matrox Open GL implementation. Hopefully they'll be working to fix that. 25-30 fps at 1024x768 is consistent with other benchmarks.
This is pretty sad, when it can't even match a Voodoo 2 or TNT setup in OpenGL

Quake2 + G400 = WTF!??
Okay.. I don't know what I'm doing here! I'm getting 25fps in 640x480 in openGL quake 2, using demo1.dm2 with my G400 32mb and Celeron433 + 128ram
WHat is the problem here!?? Does this vid. card suck THAT badly or is it me? Please help, e-mail me if possible: brispahn@island.net

Yea I would have to agree that there is something wrong. Because even with my K6-2/400, and we all know how bad the AMD chips do in Quake based games, and the G400 32MB I can get over 25fps in the massive demo at 1024x768x32bit with 32bit z-buffer on. In demo1 at the same res it's over 35fps.

You should get better than 25 fps in Quake 3 on a K6-2 400. I get at least 30-40 fps at 800x600 in Quake 3 on my measly K6-2 300 with Voodoo 2s.
The problem is the Matrox drivers, not your hardware.

BTW: I was talking about Q2 not Q3 and 25fps was for the massive demo not demo1 which was over 35fps. These are also run with no specialized config files and sound is on with all graphic settings at max. And we all know that yes the Matrox drivers do need some more work but we also know that Q2 and quake based games are optimized for the pipelined FPU of the Intel chip which means the AMD chips do not do as good in them as the Intel chips.

PS: The 3DNow! optimizations that were done for Q2 were done specfically for the Voodoo chip set thus also giving it an advantage.
