Matrox Problem?

by Reg Mucke » Wed, 06 Nov 1996 04:00:00

I just purchased a 4mb Wram Matrox Millenium for my P-166 with 32mb of
ram.My question or problem is I only score a 324 processor occupancy and
a 320 in vid speed in GP2.I can obtain these scores with a 2mb Dram
stealth 64 2000 that I owned prior to upgrading.My Cbench scores are
180.8 in 2d and 30.4 in 3d.I gained only roughly 2 frames from my
upgrade in 3d.Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong since I
don't think this is the best it can do.It has a version of Nascar that
comes with it that runs well but the original doesn't seem to run any
better than my stealth could run it.Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!

494 vid score.  I also have the MGA Mill. 4MB.  Have you upgraded to the
latest BIOS version?

I have been lead to believe that the 2nd two megs on the card only add
richness to the color, so the result is that the Matrox card is 2 fps
faster than the 2 meg stealth. You don't gain any other additional
speed for the last 2 megs on the Matrox.
Or, you could not have it setup right.

I am also at 2.2.  I have a BioStar 8500TUC motherboard with AMI BIOS and the
430HX chipset.
