GP2: SDD52 - Univbe does not improve performance

by Roberto Zi » Thu, 25 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Hi netters !

In the last couple of days I've been asked about SDD 52 (or Univbe
5.1) and GP2 in terms "could SDD52/univbe improve GP2 frame rate ?".
I tried this combination some days ago and I didn't notice
any performance boost but I did not try the various GP2 command line
parameters related to the video card. Well, last night I give 'em
a try but I didn't notice any improvements so I can tell that (at
least for me) SDD 52 / Univbe 5.1 are pretty useless with GP2.

I'd really like to see a version of GP2 with support for SDD 52
linear frame buffer since I'm told that this feature could improve
performance by a factor of 20/30%.

Best,
Roberto

I think this is a case of "Your Mileage May Vary"! With my Diamond
Stealth 2Mb DRAM, I got a 10% boost from SDD 5.2

The thing's got a 21 day free trial, so there's no harm in giving it a
go. If it doesn't work, they don't get your money, simple as that.
