Interesting. I wonder why the TNT2 PRO goes from 23 FPS at 32-bit color with 2.08 drivers to just 9 FPS with 3.68 drivers. That's a huge difference!

What's interesting is how well the supposedly vastly inferior S3 Savage4 Xtreme manages to hang in there, on this game. Sure it's noticeably slower under 32 bit color, but 16 bit color it's only a little bit slower than the better cards. Perhaps the S3 drivers are sensitive to the CPU and chipset combination used?

Well until you swap the CPU out for a K6-3+ 550 and it gets slow again.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I should imagine one that works would be go.....
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

Ought to be just fine for my Pentium MMX 233MHz system. (PCI version anyhow.)
Much as I love 3dfx cards, the prices are absoludicrous anymore.

NFS3 has Glide support and that is probably the fastest/smoothest option with a K6.

Add a radeon 9800 pro to the tests if you are able to get one to run stable.

Kinda surprised how well the Rage 128 are doing, I don't feel so dumb for owning *cough* several now.

There is no way to test the Radeon 9800 right now.
Taking into account the weakness of the platform, most likely the performance will be equal to Radeon 9250 (Catalyst 4.7)

There is a lot of inconsistency wrt the clouds being rendered between those cards as well as between driver versions for the S3 Savage 4.
