I just got done benchmarking and testing these new drivers with GLide and DirectX games and this version KICKS BUTT! the BEST AmigaMerlin driver set by far!

Not only better performance, but better compatibility - there were a couple of OpenGL and DirectX programs that wouldn't make it with me and halt up, but this no longer is the issue!

Also the GLide splash sceen has been brought back! Minor issue that it didn't work before, but a neat feature for those who like it!

2-Pixel-per-clock -- great feature! looks like they are putting in some new tweaks as well.

Also the 3Dfx tools screen was re-arranged a little bit, and cleaned up as well!

My hats off to the AmigaMerlin team -- your drivers kicks major a**!

Hm, I remember these Tweaks from older x3dfx Driver Releases.

Guardband Clipping really helps performance a bit, while "2 Pixel Rendering" I found never affecting anything, didn't note a difference there.

Quote:


2 pixel clock rendering (D3d and OpenGl) there always was. It`s default set to enable.

from 3dfx tools tweaks: Registry key is a Boolean which enables/disables 2 pixel-per-clock 3D rendering mode. When in dual-texturing, disable 2 pixel-per-clock rendering regardless of the registry value.Default 2 pixel-per-clock mode is enabled.

I was hoping that they'd provide info on some of these feature, since I don't know what a few of the newly enabled ones do, either that of a way like an .inf update to remove it as mentioned.

Though I wish the 3Dfx help document would've gotten updated to explain the new/enabled features do. No biggie though, these drivers are the most rock solid I've seen for Windows XP yet   

They only mentioned a few of the new things they've done with this new driver set in the readme and anything on their site, but I would like to know what all the changes were --- welll - becuase I am just one curious kinda guy 

Hey, Thank you and your team for making some killer driver sets! (Especially the new AmigaMerlin 3.0)
