N3: Glide and D3D which is better??

by Napoleon BlownApar » Wed, 03 May 2000 04:00:00

I was wondering if anyone has be able to run N3 on the same system in Glide
and then in D3D to make some comparisons? My guess is that the Glide version
runs a lot better.

When the Voodoo 5 6000 comes out I plan on getting it.

Currently I have a Geforce DDR, P2 400, and 128 SDRAM.

N3, can get pretty choppy sometimes. Mostly when there is a lot of cars on
the track. However, I noticed that if I race several races online at the
same track, the track starts to develop some real crappy areas where the FPS
drops a lot. I wonder what causes that? It gets worse and worse with each
race I run.

Another thing that seems weird is that N3 seems to sun about the same FPS in
any of the three resolutions. Weird.

I would say glide is better. N3 was never choppy on my P2-450 running
Glide with everything maxed. Now that I have a P3-600E, I suspect that
has not changed :-) I have a 12MB Voodoo2...

I just recently tried a TNT2 vs V2 in SLI and Glide is hands down way
better, especially how the cars are painted on screen.
