I just installed DX8 on my Win2k machine. My 3DMark 2000 score went up from 3327 to 4289. On the Evolva benchmark, my average fps is 48.4. The demo would lock up with DX7.

WinG ruled! I remember when it first was released as a alpha or beta, my uncle and I were wow'd by a 3D cube spinning wildly in a Windows environment. 🙂

And then WinDoom was released...

 

[Thanatopsis]

All I know is that I got it in 42 seconds 🙂

Will one of you please upload the file to your ftp? The URL Brandon posted is not working when you go to download it.

 

[LocutusX]

When you guys mention the benchmark results, also mention which Detonator drivers you're using (assuming you're an nvidiot).

 

[LordSandMan]

FYI - Glideunderground says they have DX8 at Ctrl-Alt-Del

but I can't get in there either
