Geforce 3 , Gp3 and quincunx

Just got a prophet geforce 3 card and am pleased with the performance. However, I was running GP3 with everything maxed out and a processor occupancy of about 60%. I then enabled quincunx antialiasing and the processor occupancy went up to 800% and the game was unplayable. I didnt think that quincunx was going to have such a performance hit. Ken

Hi, GP3 seems to hate any GeForce based FSAA, and it apparently is no better with the 3 version. -Gregor Ken - Nospamplease wrote:

Ken. make this comparison, 2X FSAA in GP3 then QUINCUNX, if it's the same results then something is fudgy in that game... the card has lot's I mean lot's of rooms for these easily even at 1600 x 1200 32 bits Eric Ken - Nospamplease wrote:

That's GP 2.5 for ya. Substandard software doesn't run well on top of the line hardware.
