What gfx card?! Please! I'm ready to upgrade from my V3, and GPL was
just about the only thing keeping me on Glide...

First impressions of GPL's Direct3D patch
Users praised the new GPL Direct3D rasterizer, reporting solid 36 fps at high resolutions on GeForce cards and better mirrors. Voodoo owners posted Glide versus D3D frame-rate comparisons, with mixed but generally favourable results, and one needed a core.ini setting to make it work on a Voodoo 5.
Automated summary.
very very pretty. it looks good on my voodoo5 which i only got for gpl.
at least 2x and 4x aa work no in d3d. 1028x1024x2aa looks pretty good
as does 1024x768x4 but need to kick down the detail slider a bit. I
gotta check this out on a geforce2.

Toggling arms on only dropped the framerate about 1-2 fps.
So far, Glide still seems to be the best option on this machine.

Just curious if anyone tried it with a Voodoo 3. It's says the card is known
to work but I'm just wondering if it looks any better then 3dfx.

Hi!

I tried it and must say that it looks better than Glide. And in comparison to Glide there is only a very small fps-hit at the start of a race. I tested with 1024x768, full eye-candy, detail slider full to the right, race start with 19 AI at Monaco from the last stall, doing nothing but staring at the frame counter ;). Framerates read as follows:
Lowest integer until flag drops/Lowest integer during AI in sight/Highest integer before beeing dropped from the race.
With Glide I get:
22/30/36
With D3D I get:
17/28/36
I'm thinking about a change ;)).
Oh well, here's my system specs: Athlon 600 on Asus K7M, 128 MB SDRAM, V3-3000, SB Live! and some other stuff. Nothing oc'd.
HTH!

I actually found things better with D3D than Glide with my V3 2000 using the
latest full drivers from 3dfx. I got an improved framerate and a problem
which I had been having since connecting a Force RS with framerate jitter
seems to be gone with D3D. I can set the detail bias quite a bit further to
the right with no loss of framerate. The mirrors are better too. The only
difference I can detect is that there seems to be a bit more mip mapping
going on. Anyway, give it a try. You can always go abck to Glide if you
don't like it.
Cheers

Probably some kind of dual Alpha setup! :-p

I believe Eric did this on a P2 450 with a GeForce2.

With Glide I get:
22/30/36
With D3D I get:
17/28/36

Mosport from the back of a full field my numbers were:

D3D:

Both about the same...you gotta figure there musta been some more smoke in 1

now!

You also shouldn't try it on a 2 mb S3 card.... :-/
