Hi:
Just got a Voodoo3 3000 AGP, installed it, and fired up GPL to see how
it worked. Having heard all kinds of good things about the card, I
was disappointed in the frame rate, which leads me to believe that I
may be doing something wrong.
Until now, I've been running the Rendition version, using the Hercules
8Mb Thriller AGP, and I find that the performance was noticably better
than with the Voodoo3 at the same resolution (800X600). With the
Rendition I was getting about 28-30 FPS at the start of a Spa race,
while with the Voodoo 3 it was in the 22-24 range. This is with the
GPL patch installed, and the latest 3dfx drivers.
Has anyone else compared the performance of each of these cards in
GPL? Is it normal that my framerate should be better with the
Hercules or is there something else I should be doing to improve it.
I'm running a Pentium 2 300 overclocked to 337.
Thanks,
Rob
