I saw that graphics performance chart posted in Sim Racing News, and am
seeking opinions from anyone who has upgraded to this card. A 30-40%
frame rate increase over a Stealth 64...is this for real?? If so, I'm
buying one tomorrow!! tia...duncan.
says...
also...how does it compare in Win95? (I don't play all the time <G>)

Stop on by, what can it hurt?
I just upgraded to the Hercules Dynamite/128 Card last night. My
previous card was a #9 Trio/64 w/2mb. I have a Dell P90 w/16mb RAM.
Initial Scores with GP2LOG.TXT were as follows:
175 Processor
258 Video w/out S3SPDUP
318 Video with S3SPDUP
After the dyn/128 installation I received the following scores:
175 Processor
336 Video
Although the GP2LOG.TXT results show a slight increase, The Game itself
does seem to be faster. This may be wishful thinking after spending
$200 on a new video card, but I have increased by frame rate by 1 and
processor occupancy seems to be lower.

The problem is that the textures takes up alot of the cpu`s power, and
thats what you need for this game cpu power.
I did the upgrade and saw a modest improvement. Dont expect 30%.
Thanks for cuttin thru the spam, bs, etc. Appreciate an honest opinion
for a change. cheers...duncan.
