"GeForce3 has landed....please advise..."

well, I planned on doing an entire driver comparison for the Ultra.
However, just in the last week, I've seen 3 of them that seem to indicate the only real difference for the Ultra in overall framerate is in 3dm2k and 2k1, so no biggie, eh?

🙂

I'm going to redo the Serious Sam benches tho (yes, all of them!) because Reverend has put up an excellent couple of scripts, of which I used the "Beyond Extreme".

It was far less stressful than what I had, but I probably didn't have it "optimized" either

🙂

[EDIT]

was gonna do a framerate comparison between TC, no TC and DXTC fix, but I found no more than 2 or 3 fps difference

go figure....

soooooo......

I figure I'll finish off these Serious Sam benches, rip that POS GTS Ultra out of the Roborib <hehehe...> and get to work with this here GeForce3 thingee...

BTW, it's a [EDIT] - VISIONTEK, NOT Leadtek

Man you've got a lot of time on your hands. 🙂

You know what I want to see - high res/high detail GLQuake, Quake2, Quake3 and Unreal (original) benchmarks.

Ah, the joys of 64 MB VRAM. 🙂

Unreal, Quake2 and Quake3 are already done bro 😉

Quake3 is at the highest level of detail it can be made, according to &quot;The Carmack&quot;

Quake2, I just copied the stuff that oldfart posted to another thread. Ben, the image quality beyotch that he is, was pleased with those settings, so I did demo1, crusher and massive1

and I ran Unrael according to your recommendations.

now, let's be realistic here for a second....how tough is it to do benchmarks?

Hell, I'm studying for my MCSE, I just sit here next to the computer with my book open studying, and run the demos. Very easy. 🙂

UP a config for GLQuake bro and I'll do it.

I tried demo1, and got over 400 fps, but that was completely untweeked, just GLQUAKE right otu of the box @ 1024


Also, bump the W98 benches. W2k rules. 🙂

I did the no TC, DXTC1, DXTC3 tests when I had that Pro card. It did make a little difference on my system.

hmmmm....weird

how did you &quot;enable/disable&quot; Texture compression?

I must be doing it wrong.

also, BFG, gimme a GLQuake config dammit!

I'll run what ya want, but I don't have no Q1 config skilz!

 

[oldfart]

To enable/disable, I just changed
seta r_ext_compressed_textures to 0 or 1

For DXTC1 or 3, I changed that reg entry.

 

[RoboTECH]

nonono....

I was talking about Serious Sam 'fart....

BFG, I'm gonna yank this Ultra in a second here...get me that glquake script so I can run it on the ultra....
