I am running a P166MMX overclocked to 200MHz, and a Screaming 3D video
card, and am adding a Canopus Pure 3DII this weekend. I am getting
about 25 fps in a given situation in GPL with the Screaming 3D
(Rendition V1000), does anyone have any idea what I can expect using the
Pure 3DII?
Thanks,
Pat Murphy
You will probably see very little, if any, improvment. Voodoo2 boards
are so fast that they need a fast processor to feed them the geometry.
Otherwise they just sit there waiting. I recently upgraded from a Voodoo1
card (Orchid) to a 12MB Pure 3DII and saw an increase of 4-6 fps on my
PII-266 w/ 64MB of RAM. The only reason I purchased my Voodoo2 card is
that I'm relatively sure of a CPU upgrade in the next 2-3 months.
