That's what I did now and it works. I run N23dfx under Dos 6.22 now
('cause seems to be faster as in Dos 7.0) with the batchlines
described in this group:

SET FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0
SET SST_FASTMEM=1
SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1
SET SST_SWAP_EN_WAIT_ON_VSYNC=0
SET SST_VIDEO_24BPP=1
SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=85
SET SST_RGAMMA=1.30
SET SST_GGAMMA=1.30
SET SST_BGAMMA=1.30
SET SST_GRXCLK=57
SET N2FXAA=2
SET N2FXFOG=0.01
SET N2FXFOGCOLOR=0xa8a8a8
SET N2FXLOAD=200000
NAS3DFX.EXE -3DFX

and :
shell=c:\dos\command.com /p /e:1024
in config.sys

But it seems to be not as fast as on my old Cardex ET6000 with 2,5 MB.
My system is a 32MB 200Mhz overclocked to 225MHz.
With the ET 6000 I run everything on, except people, infield and fence
on auto and get framerates between 28 and 30, 39 opponents ahead and 5
behind.
With the DM3DFX, running from Dos 6.22 I have the same settings,
except framerates between 23 and 25, and everything is on when I
passed about 10 cars from back of the field, all inCar view.

Looks to me as if the game runs faster, when it is set to 23 to 25
frames, when I set 28 to 30 frames, it is quite bad.

Someone knows other ways to improve farmerate, except buying a
rendition card?

Someone played around with the n2fxload=xxxxxx command?
Is 200000 really the best setting for the monster3d?

Hi guys,

sorry, but if the Rendition version on your systems looks better than the 3dFX
version, you're doing something wrong. I have both a Rendition and a 3dFX board
installed, and the 3dFX version beats the Rendition version on all accounts.

Hi Andrew,

I have both - on my system the 3dFX version is much nicer, crisper, and has
slightly smoother framerates.

Achim

Hi Ken,

There's gotta be a difference in systems, unless many of us do something wrong
WRT SETting the parameters. On my system, the 3dFX version looks considerably
better than the Rendition version, and is also slightly faster.

Hi Joeli,

Rendition, and the Rendition version beats the 3DFX version on ALL fronts.<<

Unless you're doing something wrong WRT to using the 3dFX patch, the patch has
got to somehow be dependent on the system it runs on. On my system, the 3dFX
version looks considerably better than the Rendition version, and also runs
noticeably faster.

OK What CPU do you have, and what SET values do you use for Anti-aliasing,
fog and everything else. I'll try anything once :-)

I just checked the settings on my terminal program, and damn it, it has
"echoing" turned off.  Am I doing something wrong here?  I just can't
seem to find the right setting to turn off this damn echo!  

Wait, I think I found one that may work, it's buried under killfile in
the manual.  ;-)
