  • The New Matrox TurboGL Drivers Rock!!!!! Check out my Benchmarks!!!

    Hi!

    I got some great improvements with the new 5.30 drivers.

    I have a pentium III 450 overclocked to 558 Mhz on an Abit BE6 motherboard. I have the G400 Max 32megs (not overclocked)

    Here are my Quake II benchmarks:

    Demo 1
    640 by 480 (5.25 drivers) - 87.9 fps
    (5.30 drivers) - 104.1 fps

    800 by 600 (5.25 drivers) - 83.5 fps
    (5.30 drivers0 - 99 fps

    Crusher
    640 by 480 (5.25 drivers) - 45 fps
    (5.30 drivers) - 52.9 fps

    800 by 600 (5.25 drivers) - 43.9 fps
    (5.30 drivers) - 51.8 fps

    Massive 1
    640 by 480 (5.25 drivers) - 65.6 fps
    (5.30 drivers) - 78.9 fps

    800 by 600 (5.25 drivers) - 64.4 fps
    (5.30 drivers) - 77.1 fps

    I didn't disable the sound in any of the demos.

    This goes to prove that the Matrox G400 doesn't suck in OpenGL Games anymore. Now I can hang on to my G400 Max and wait for better cards to release next year.

        For Q3 the simple command from the console is +timedemo 1 +demo q3demo1 but for a better benchmark test try start Q3 using the following command line

        quake3.exe +seta r_mode 6 +seta r_fullscreen 1 +seta r_swapinterval 0 +vid_restart +s_initsound 0 +snd_restart +timedemo 1 +demo q3demo1

        Hope this helps.
