GPL Win98/Win95 Frame Rates

by Phillip McNell » Mon, 26 Oct 1998 03:00:00

Just a work on something I've recently seen.

I had Win95 on my system and was getting a solid 36 fps in trainning
mode. I installed Win98 over the weekend, from scratch on cleand
drives etc, and now only get 27 fps with the exact same setup.

I can only assume that Win98 hogs more system capacity than Win95.

A bit disapointing.

Make sure that your graphics settings are exactly the same and that you are
using the same graphics drivers. You don't say what your system is but if it
is, for example, based on a Voodoo 2, you should check that Vsync is still
off - this alone would account for the drop in frame rate. Win 98 is
unlikely to be the cause.
