I agree, I didn't see any improvement. It did drastically improve my
old Stealth 3d card though......

It gives you access to some VESA resolutions (in VQuake for example)
not available in the cards BIOS.  As far as performance though, I
didn't see any change.

Although 5.3a dose not improve on the performance of the Verite cards, the
Reactor (Intense) 3D card unlike the Blaster card does not have a utillity
to change the monitor refresh rate in Dos, so that when you have a 2D
bright screen i.e. the setup sheet in Nascar2 there is a lot of flicker.
SciTech's Utillities that come with the 5.3a driver allow you to set Dos
refresh rates. I changed my Dos (2D) refresh rate from 60Hz to 85Hz.
Bingo! a very stable screen.

based is #1...

I have a Imagine 9fx motion 771 2meg video card.
Here is the rest:
Dell Dimension XPS P100c
32meg Edo, Win'95, Nec 4x, Sony Trinitron 15", AWE32, etc.
Will the new SciTechDisplayDoctor5.3a increase my framerate? Nascar2
with all details except grass/track, 20forward 3behind cars, works great
at over 20fps except Martinsville.  Thanks a lot,
