Ran the Unreal castle loop for just over 2 hours on the m3D, no issues.

I’m not sure if it will take more than 64 so I’ll keep trying different combos when I can. Here’s another comparison before and after the AMD k6 specific optimizations on a Matrox …

Re: Original Unreal, how to Benchmark or show FPS?

Success! Averaging 37fps on a K6-3@450Mhz with a Matrox m3D. @512x384x24bpp 10fps lower than my Voodoo2 in the same system at same resolution in Unreal Gold. No surprise but glad I’m able to measure both!

Should lighting in Quake and Half Life have this blocky appearance on a Matrox m3D or is there is a setting I can change to correct? Possibly a different driver I should be using?

That's really cool. Are there any other tweaks you can do and how's the stability with the tweaks you've done so far? Thanks! I’ve got some memory coming to bump it up to 128MB, I hope, but other than that it’s about tapped out I think. I might try a GeForce in it for fun. I quite like the ATI Rage …

Now have write combining enabled for the Voodoo2 and squeezed out more frames! This K6-3 just keeps giving 🤣.

Thanks guys, trying to find a way to benchmark Unreal with a Matrox M3D. The stat FPS helps a bit.

Is there a timedemo available in any version of Unreal prior to Gold? Or even just an FPS counter?

Used a tool to enable Write Allocation for the k6-3 and I’ve boosted Unreal FPS quite a bit more!

Expendable has a 3DNow! Splash at startup and ads in-game so I assume it’s optimized for it but could also be marketing. I’ll get some pics later.

Not sure if any interest to anyone but I was swapping files between the PowerVR and ATI versions and somehow got MW2 to run at a lower than 512 resolution, I think, on my Rage 2. I’m guessing its 320x240. That or I’ve just forgotten what the Rage version looks like.

Is there a way to specify 24-Bit color in the SGL version of Half Life to eliminate dithering? It’s possible in Quake so it must be similar no?

Is it okay to ask here if there is a way to remove dithering from any of the Mechwarrior 2 proprietary api accelerated versions?

Just wanted to mention you can simulate the Tattie ATAPI Simulator “no stop” issue pretty easily with the Windows CD Player in Windows 98. Pressing stop or pause has no effect. Hope that helps!
