UNIVBE - Any real performance benefits?

by Clifford Smi » Fri, 12 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Hi,

I have a number of games (Flight Unlimited, Need for Speed, US Navy
Fighters, Fatal Racing, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D) that show no noticeable
performance increase when using the UNIVBE VESA drivers. I have a
Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM card.

The strange thing is that when I run their profile.exe benchmarker, it
shows a marked increase in performance with the driver as compared to
running the benchmark without the driver.

What gives? If their benchmark shows such a dramatic increase in
performance, why does'nt it show in the games?

Regards,
Cliff
