Games tested-

GLQuake, Quake II, Quake III, Jedi Knight II Outcast, System Shock II, Thief, Half-Life, Descent II & III, Unreal, UT, Deus Ex, Wheel of Time, MDK, NFL Blitz.

Demos tested-

Final Reality, Mark3D99 MAX, Mark3D2000

(work in progress, updating)

To be honest I have forgotten a number of demos and games I have tried, I will rerun tests and post the results.




Half-Life D3D







Quake III with simple cfg, OpenGL wrapper






GLQuake with OpenGL wrapper

Michel you must focus the tests in what D3D games Rampage can run but using real HW D3D on or using a OpenGL wrapper, not in SW mode. Even if you get BSOD in few seconds. You must 'play' with games setting, resolution, enable / disabled buffering, depth color, so on... a few detail can do the game locks up in 20 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

Of course, BSODs always are present. Normally making reference VXD library. It means something inside the code crash system.

Games tested tonight-

1) Giants MECC demo, crashes at menu or shortly after

2) NFL Blitz, launches and runs but acts like it is in software rendering mode, only 19 fps

3) System Shock 2, runs well almost never crashes.

4) Daikatana demo, starts game and then crashes after being in level for a minute or two.

5) Jedi Knight II Outcast demo, crashes most of the time in menus, sometimes makes it to opening level.

6) Max Payne Demo, 50% of time locks in menu, other time during opening animations after a few minutes.

7) MDK D3D mode- Makes it into game, 90% of the screen is black with just the health meter visible. No lock up though!

8) Turok D3D demo, almost makes it through opening animations before locking.

9) Unreal D3D, renders only half a screen, doesn't crash

10) Final Reality demo- Makes it through most tests, crashes 90% of time on last test when ship is flying over/through city. Has done a complete bench only twice.

11) glquake- runs well but very dark

12) Need For Speed High Stakes- Will only run software, crashes when trying to run D3D

13) Need for Speed III- Makes it to the countdown to start race before locking up.

14) Thief- Runs good, very dark rendering.

15) Quake III IHV leaked demo- runs for minute or two

16) Nascar Racing 1999- Software or GLide only

17) Tomb Raider II demo D3D- Seems to work rather well, runs for several minutes before BSOD

Ok and how can i use Rampage D3D drivers?

If you use OpenGL wrapper like DirectGL is it work or blue screen/freeze for you?

I have installed OpenGL32.dll in system32 folder. It's auto when you install DirectGL 5.0.2.
In Tomb Raider II I don't put any others opengl32.dll in same directory as executable.
Why?
