Re: Mechwarrior 2 3Dfx issues

Can't you set the refresh rate in a batch file in your autoexec.bet ? I seem to remember having multiple batch files to optimize my voodoo card for a specific game... I could be wrong ... the batch file won't help a Windows 95 game though I think... A batch file with variables will work in Windows …

Mechwarrior 2 3Dfx issues

For a short while now, I am playing Mechwarrior 2 Orchid Righteous 3D (3Dfx version of the game). Finished both sides of JF and CW. Lots of fun and memories from the good old days, but now in 3Dfx! And I have modified the game viewdistance to 2Km. Recently I have discovered that the game also …

Well, you dont know if the 7000 is half as fast as the 7500, since you are testing only t&l performance programs and the 7000 doesnt support it. On t&l it is slower yes, but is it on older non t&l programs? Is the 7500 producing playable framerates on the 233?

So you lost 7% performance because of winXP? Thats a big step back from the stars. Yeah, the idea is cool, also that 9800 is wasted on that cpu and mainboard it's such a shame of that beautiful card, even a 2ghz cpu doesnt do it right. But for the idea, because we can, sure put on even am x800xt.. …

And having a dual cpu is actually an opportunity to see what it really can do as a single core. Install win2k which is (correct me if i'm wrong) less demanding but supports multiple cpu's. And then you put all the tasks on one cpu and run the benchmark on the other one so it has more computing power …

A geforce2 mx would have a bit less driver overhead and still t&l, so that could be an improvement. But just to get things straight, you run a mmx233 anf this cpu isn't anywhere near fast enough to run a game which has T&L. So in my own perspective it would be less then usefull to try even 3dm99, …

I’m actually surprised to see that my radeon 7500 is out performing the voodoos. Anyone have a voodoo 5 to try? Well I think the difference is that you have a dual cpu? And also hw t&l seriously defeats a cpu's software t&l. I am curious about your 3dm99 results though. Only one cpu used on my …

Well, the point is... the msdos software rendered version, including in Windows98, works flawlessly. And I have tried the 3dfx version multiple times and one time the sound worked just fine, but after the launch -> mission failed moment the sound seized to function all over again, while being in …
