your system specs for low scores with 5.21 please

I noticed in a couple of threads an adminstrator wanting people to post their system specs if you are having trouble with the new drivers.

For me everything D3D related is running pretty much the same as before. Q3 is seeing about a 30 to 40% decrease in framerates. I've reinstalled the drivers twice now following Matrox's instructions very closely but still no luck.

Here are my system specs:

PIII 500@580
Abit BE6
256MB Pc 100 ram
SB Live! Value (latest 2.1 drivers)
G400 32MB DH
5X Creative DVD Rom
9.1GB 7200RPM Seagate drive
Iomega Zip drive
Diamond Supra Express 56i V.90 modem
Win 98
Cambridge Soundworks FPS 2000 speaker system

I'd bet my nice wooly (and warm) socks that someone at Matrox made a boo-boo and included the wrong OpenGL files in the new drivers. We'll see.

For what it's worth, other than things like HD size and processor speed (minor difference), our systems, and our results, are very similar.

With the new drivers, the performance is pittiful- I shit you not, pittiful

The new drivers switch vsynch on - could this be part of your trouble - haven't checked Q3 but in Q2 it knocked 30fps off my framerate before I noticed and switched it off.

Hope this helps..

These drivers don´t turn V-synch on! Gl_swapinterval is 0 in quake2 and in 640x480 my time refresh is 175 fps. Monitor refresh rate is 120 hz. So how can it be enabled? (and yes I can see tearing)
