Title: UT2003 on a Voodoo2, it's possible !
Post by CloudStrife on 29.01.04 at 15:23:56
I have sended my Radeon 9500Pro in guarantee...
While waiting, I have gave my Voodoo2 in my PC...
And I have test UT2003... And that functions!



On a Athlon XP1800+ with 256Mb of SDRAM, a Voodoo 2 8Mo @ 90MHz and Windows XP...
I use the 3dfx Voodoo2 beta drivers for Win2000 (V1.00.00b)

Many map don't work (there reboot the PC), but I think it's because I have a 8Mo card...

I have benching this in a BotMatch (3 Bots) :

DM-Compressed :
640x480 "Lower"
4.198238 / 12.590694 / 207.426254 fps
640x480 "UltraLow" + LowQualityTerrain :
9.918452 / 27.023018 / 201.594910 fps

DM-Gael :
640x480 "Lower"
4.368858 / 28.458870 / 82.145004 fps

DM-TrainingDay :
640x480 "Lower"
5.178586 / 18.783066 / 36.928162 fps
640x480 "UltraLow" + LowQualityTerrain :
5.347363 / 19.943241 / 33.113251 fps

DM-Curse3 :
640x480 "Lower"
9.054677 / 22.709412 / 119.913315 fps
640x480 "UltraLow" + LowQualityTerrain :
11.141171 / 22.825045 / 122.542465 fps

"Lower" : All quality at Lower...
"UltraLow" + LowQualityTerrain : All quality at UltraLow and LowQualityTerrain were activated...

Sorry for my very bad english...

when the MesaFX for Voodoo2 was diffused, the Voodoo2 was "re go ?!?" to my brother computer... at 60km...

If not with a Voodoo 2 SLI 12Mo @ 105MHz, that must be very good ;)

2x(105/90)=2.33x the fillrate...
(800x600)/(640x480)=1.5625x more pixel...
2.33/1.5625~1.5x
1.5x22fps=33fps
800x600 @ 30fps on Curse3 ? ;)

640x480 @ 35fps that is already good
