  • Any SSE / 3D Now optimizations in the new drivers

    Does anybody know if matrox are optimizing the drivers for P3 SSE or Athlon 3DNow! instruction sets ???

    They must do some, I see improvements moving from a P2450 to a P3450.

      The earlier matrix drivers used 3D Now!, so I would assume they are still using it.

          If there is 3D-Now! in the OGL drivers, or the D3D drivers for that matter, NVIDIA has much better code.

            Well one mistake made it through. I seem to have recently lost my typing skills. I corrected two other errors. Pretty bad for one line.
