I'm able to test the 3Dfx V2 drivers against Matrox's . In regular d3d tests , the Max is very good , eg, 3D Mark . In Half Life the 3Dfx V2 Opengl is quicker than Matrox both in Opengl and D3D.
As you know, HL is the toughest ogl game to accelerate . While TnT2 and V3 do a great job here , Matrox's Ogl has shown poor acceleration. I was hoping to see a parity , at least from D3D .I'm disappointed.
Half-Life allows me to select a driver among the boards installed and I have the Max with an Obsidian 24 , V2 SLI. I sure hope there is another driver update to deal with HL specifically . There was one for the early G200 ; we need another now.
HL (MP) 10 x 7 x 16bpp :
PIII 600
Obsidian Ogl 81 fps
Max D3D 75 fps
Ogl 57 fps.
