Monster 3D ?

I just took out my old Pure 3D and installed a brand new Monster 3D. My
question is I notice that the colors are pale or washed out. I was
wondering what you guys run the gamma's at? Or is there something else
that I should do?

So far I love this card. GPL runs great. I was getting 28-36 fps with my
old Pure 3D, now I get 33-36 fps steadily.

Thanks,  ZZ

Try to add the following line to your \WINDOWS\glideenv.bat

SET SST_VIDEO_24BPP=1

This setting will enable the 16-bit-palette support and refresh rates higher
than 60/75Hz, as on some systems the 3dfx settings are limited to 60/75 Hz
although your Monitor supports higher rates. After rebooting your system,
you'll be able to set your Monitor refresh rates to, let's say, 85Hz, giving
you much better gamma values and thus better colors.

You do have a Monster I, not II?!

Hope this helps
