S3SPDUP really works..!!!

I tried the S3SPDUP program last night and it did increase framerate. First off I have a P133 16mbEDO DStealth 2mb Vram with S3Vision968. I had been getting 19.6fps(set at 17)with the following settings in svga: All textures except Bank, Hills, and Sky. Objects -Low(who needs gstands and all of those trees in Hockenheim) Ater loading S3SPDUP VGA...(vesa doesn't seem to help, loading both was the same as just vga) I got 21.3(set at 19.6) So I went from setting it at 19.6 to 21.3 not bad, not great, but... Didn't seem to help in VGA tho': I was getting 23.2(set at 21.3) with everthing on except sky. Objects-all. With S3SPDUP it stayed the same. So go figure. I used: S3SPDUP vga /load Good Luck. -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

I am loading S3SPDUP with the options VESA /LOAD. Very little improvements in the log but my Proc. Occup. is lower (SVGA). I think the estimate used in the log works around VGA and therefore doesn't reflects SVGA improvements. JFD

If you are playing on SVGA, you must use: S3SPDUP /load. This turns the SVGA acceleration on, and the VGA acceleration off. See S3SPDUP /? Good luck Toni Wenzel (Austria)
