Help With Matrox m3D

by yeah_.. » Tue, 30 Dec 1997 04:00:00

Ok I have a P200mmx 32megs of a Trident 9680 2d card with 2 megs of ram
and a Matrox m3D and a
bunch of problems I hope that you can help with:
1. In Motoracer there are black polygons around smoke, trees and other
objects like that.
   I installed the Polygons Version patch and the game says Polygons
Version when it stats
   so I know it works but when I go to play the game the screen turns to
a 320x240 window
   and i cant see anything, I can hear but I cant see. There was one
time I saw the game and the
   Black squares are gone but when this happened i couldn't play. It was
just a 1 frame.

2. I the direct 3d benchmark and I got these scores:
   Fill Rate:              29.04 mpps
   Polygon Throughput:     235.10
   Intersection Troughput: 3.56

   I got results from several other people with my same system
   and the benchmarks where an avarege of:
   Fill Rate:              38.05 mpps
   Polygon Throughput:     365.19
   Intersection Troughput: 5.41

   So if you know why please help

3. In MDK when I get shot the screen turns black instead of translucent
Red
   In the Performance under Optins it says someting about bank switching
   and how it reduces performance... What the hell is bank switching and
can
   I turn it off????

Please reply by EMAIL don't just post it on the Newsgroup 'cause I don't
check
the newsgroups. Well thats it. Thanks in advance:)
