Thank you
yeah, I'm curious myself now so I may do that later today.
I'm still surprised how bad the mystique version is though. maybe its because I'm using the 2mb slower clocked initial card but really it almost looks like software mode, only Laura actually looks better. It seems to be real picky to as It wasn't till the fourth computer I tried it on that it actually worked. Its doesn't even give options for graphics modes and all the shadows are in a checkered pattern. the Rage and s3d look okay but are just really dark though that may be fixable by playing with brightness settings. I used the same monitor for all these with all the gfx settings maxed but other then that I didn't adjust brightness I just played with what it gave me on setup.
as far as gfx options the
mystique gave non whatsoever
voodoo gave option of mipmapping or normal
Rage gave options of Bilinear, perspective and resolutions up to 800x600
verite just gave the standard gfx options of low, normal and high
s3d gave same options as rage except the resolution only went up to 640x480
the harp with the voodo has a wired line sticking out from its top as you can see in the image and the vertie has a purple line down it. I don't know if these are intentional things. I cant recall from testing but I did notice in the images the rage didn't give a shadow for Laura and as i mentioned the Mystique gave the shadow a checkered pattern.
I'll also add this was done with the standard retail release of the game. not the gold version (if that makes a difference)
