Crap Tribes performance with Radeon.

[duragezic]

I have a Radeon 64mb VIVO (check sig for rest of system) but Tribes runs like crap. Even at 800x600 it is choppy! This was with the 7068's I believe but I want to play it again but I don't know why it runs so bad. I played 1024x768 on my voodoo banshee smoothly...

I don't have a Radeon but I have a geforce2 which is almost as good. Tribes is terrible on it also. It ran great on my voodoo5 though. I believe that Tribes is a Glide based game, which means it will run much better on a voodoo card. Same thing for Deus Ex, even after a couple patches it still doesn't run anywhere near as good on the geforce as it did on the voodoo5.

Yeah I knew originally it was Glide and Software until 1.03 in which OpenGL was added. I knew that about it that way; where opengl just wasn't implemented well. I agree about Deus Ex too. Run just as good (maybe better?) on my voodoo banshee.

Well thanks for the reply.

use a different glide wrapper

I wasn't using a glide wrapper. I'm not really sure about those. I remember at least a year back that Creative made one but there was some problem with 3dfx not being happy about it. Is a glide wrapper for all non-3dfx cards?
