  • Win x 5.52...Cool and Not-so-cool.

    Joy, I'm back in business with online Aliens vs Predator. The Wireplay EXE now works, plus AvsP runs quicker than ever....COOL :0) Tommorrow night I shall endeavour to KICK ASS!!

    Cool Thing No 2) is that Quake 2 has squeezed a few more frames out of Demo1 at 1024x768, (running the TurboGL) and even without it's running @ 63.6 fps instead of a Turbo assisted 69.6...COOOL :0)

    Not so cool, but bearable is the "striping" effects now happening in Q3A in certain explosion and smoke textures. I went from 5.41 to 5.52, so noticed it BIG time. The game runs at near enough TurboGL speeds, but looks a tad patchy. But reinstall TurboGL and it clears up again.

    So maybe the next G400 drivers will be nearly perfect? Let's hope so.

    Anyway, hats off to Matrox with this latest release!!

    Had not noticed the q3 problem, but i will have to look for it. Damn the ICD is fast w/ these! Nice job Matrox, Again...


    Non-related question/speculation. Could this new driver release, right before the end of February, be for the G450 release? So they have new drivers to ship with the G450's? Ok maybe not. Let the speculation begin.
