@Obi-Wan:

Absolutely. I can't wait playing it with 8xAA. Hope that Hank gets my Voodoo5 6000 repaired (after 9 months  Tongue)


Any news on that 6K of yours yet? I hope she will get fixed, I'm trying to get Descent3 1.5 running in 1280 x 1024 x 32 Bit Glide with FSAA x4 and LOD Biasing @ -8 setting is there a driver that allows me to use this setting on the 5500 PCI as well so then I can make a perfect comparrison with the 6800U and 5500 PCI , by using the same FSAA setting at the same reso, and LOD Bias @ -8 should give the same effect as AF x8 just to create the same seranio.

Hank mailed me yesterday, that he has fixed it  Grin  Grin  Grin


I think 1280x1024x32, 4xAA on voodoo5 5500 PCI is impossible, because of the framebuffer memory.

Unreal runs @ 1280x1024x22 4xAA, but only if the Windows Desktop is set to 800x600, 16bit.

ah cool for your Voodoo5 6000 Smiley happy to hear it has been healed by the 3dfx Healer.

bout the 5500 PCI hmm yeah oh well 1024 x 768 x 16 in Glide looks beefy as well with FSAA x4 still get about 47 frames per sec in Unreal ver 2.26 Smiley not bad for the 5500 PCI Smiley
