Q3A results with the new drivers

[fds]

Win98:

I went from the 5.41 driver to 5.50.010.

5.41 with TurboGL: 54.6 fps
5.41 with ICD: 39.8 fps

5.50.010 with TurboGL: 54.1 fps
5.50.010 with ICD: 53.6 fps

All results are the highest one after several consecutive timedemo runs, with com_hunkmegs set to 152.

Win2000:

Previous driver - Q3A crashed at start.

New driver - started just fine. Looked at the System settings, checked the Driver Information then tried to do a timedemo. The system locked up while I was typing "demo ..." on the console.

I've been playing online for a while now with the new G400 Win98 drivers, they seem to be flawless.

The best of all is that I can finally Alt-Tab out of OpenGL games once again.

This new ICD rocks!

Under Windows 2000 + the new beta drivers Quake 3 runs fine but i've got some problems with the sounds...

The OPENGL performance of the Win2K drivers seems to be about 10% below the turbogl dirvers. NOT BAD

Quake 3 sounds problem: no machine gun sound + when my character is walking the sound of his steps is horrible...
Have you any idea ? Have you this trouble ?
BTW i'm using a soundblaster live 1024

Must say im very impressed by the speed of theese new Win2k drivers in Quake3 and UT...

i've got a Sblive value, and i don't have the problems with q3 you discribe, the walking sounds as usual and i have machingun sound... using the drivers that came with Win2k final.

the only issues with Quake3 is a few graphical ones... problems with a few models and some lights...
