400 MHz Pentium II or equivalent.
128 MB of RAM.
8 MB 3D video card (TNT, i810, Voodoo 3, Rage 128 equivalent or better) with DirectX® 8.1 support.
It is the minimum system requirement for WARCRAFT III game (use Direct 3d I suppose).
Although I have a system configuration distinctly more
importent(specified down),I have some slowings when I play (800x600 32bit).
I have sfft ALPH33(with 3dfxtools 2.6.1.110), Windows XP ,Directx 9c.
Someone can help me to increase performances ?
thenks to all

Hi everybody,
before beginning just for your information ps47, WARCRAFT III game is faster while selecting "Single Chip Only" (compatibility mode).
Now I have a question.
I have compare the 3dfxtools options of
Amigamerlin 3.0 XP and SFFT Alpha 33 driver added to 3dfxtools 2.6.1.110.
why the 3dfxtools (associated with SFFT driver)obtions is incomplete ???
Thre are 3 big pages :
I)3dfx advanced fuetures:here there are not the following options:
1-Global Setings with all its components.
2-Direct 3d :
2 Pixel-per-clock Rendering.
D 3d Guardband Cliping.
Edge-Aliasing.
Rendering Color-Depth.
Scan Line-Height.
Speed setings.
Trilinear Texture Filtering.
3-OpenGL/Glide:
2 Pixel-per-clock Rendering.
Edge-Aliasing.
and auther...
II)3dfx Color:No problem.
III)3dfx Antialiasing:
1)Direct 3d:
Speed setings.
2)OpenGL/Glide:
#In Amiga3.0xp:there are Speed setings option.
#In SFFT alpha 33(3dfxtools):There are AA demo key option.
In this moment I have SFFT alpha33(with 3dfxtools 2.6.1.110) and my system is down.
If you use as me the sfft driver and 3dfxtools ,you can verify what I say here: http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/bestsettings/am30xp/gs.htm
Does someone have an explanation?

@in3d

I think most people use VoodooControl instead of 3dfx Tools for the SFFT Driver.
Not sure, but I think the independent Vctrl Applet is much easier and more failsafe to use than 3dfx Tools on the latest 3rd party Drivers (3dfx Tools relies on 100% correct entries in the Registry provided by the Driver for all Options it displays, also only within the limits as what it can display in the first place)

Directly from Amigamerlin, I used that driver-mix many times with every new SFFT release and without any kind of problem.

Before new driver installation don't forget to use Driver Cleaner Pro (and delete "3dfxvs" key in the registry) for total uninstall of the current version.
