Voodoo2 to Voodoo3 GPL frame rates?

Could anyone with direct experience estimate the frame rate improvement in GPL on a P2-450 going from a 12MB V2 card to a V3-3000 or 3500 assuming all else remains the same?

As Phillip says I did the same move on a PIII-450 - 5 Fps at the start was about it but also I found I could move the detail bias up quite alot. I had dual V2 12mb in SLI btw. The colours are also mych better on the V3. Darren > > Could anyone with direct experience estimate the frame rate improvement in

Don't get caught like I did - after I upgraded to a V3 and PIII450 I started to get frequent headaches. Turns out my monitor only supported 60mhz vertical refresh rate at 1024X768. Cost me $AUS600+ to upgrade. Cured the headaches though! Cheers,Andrew. >> Could anyone with direct experience estimate the frame rate improvement in

Awesome monitor you've got, since my monitor supports around 120Hz, yours runs at a half a million times higher rate:) Or did you mean millihertz??? -- Tuffe

Voodoo 1 Voodoo 2 or Voodoo 3. What you will find with many of the developers is they lock the frame rates at 50FPS to make the platforms all play evenly. dw do dont wory to much or expect much -- World's Largest On-Line Performance Catalog Site http://www.martelbros.com How To Go Fast.Com http://www.howtogofast.com Dirt Asphalt Simulation Championship Auto Racing (DASCAR) http://www.ivga.com WHRA - Sim Drag Racing - $20,000 Prize Pool http://www.whra.com >On my website I ran a test with an early V3-3500 ...I ran back to back >tests against my Voodoo 2 SLI setup. >The long and short of it was the V3 3500 was faster...SURPRISE...<VBG> >PAPA DOC >www.papadoc.net >>Could anyone with direct experience estimate the frame rate improvement in >>GPL on a P2-450 going from a 12MB V2 card to a V3-3000 or 3500 assuming all >>else remains the same? >>Thanks, >>Marc. >>-- >>************************************************************************** ** >>Marc Collins >>Computers will never equal humans until they make mistakes and >>blame them on other computers. >>************************************************************************** **

On my website I ran a test with an early V3-3500 ...I ran back to back tests against my Voodoo 2 SLI setup. The long and short of it was the V3 3500 was faster...SURPRISE...<VBG> PAPA DOC www.papadoc.net
