I think your monitor doesn't support this resolution

Video
Maximum Resolution 1366 x 768
Maximum Refresh Rate 50 Hz

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_displayrefresh "50"
seta r_customwidth "1366"
seta r_customheight "768"

Not sure  if that will work !

r_smp as far as I have been reliably informed is broken, so I would leave it default and set Q3 to use a single core.

If the monitor supports that res or not it's not relevant at the moment since it's the video driver that allows the game to set resolution with the proper timings and 1366x768 it's not present in the inf of whatever 3dfx or 3rd party driver.

He should add the proper string with the right timings in the 3dfxvs.inf, then reinstall the driver. That assuming that the monitor inf isn't hiding the (unsupported) resolution to the vga driver.

AFAIK smp code is still present in quake3. At the time the guys at id soft. had a lot of troubles trying to make it work. Actually smp can work, but absolutely not as it should.

Enabling smp in REALTIME I managed to gain about 1fps at 1024x768 max details w/o FSAA on a system equipped with Pentium4 3.06GHz with Hyper Threading...(I haven't inquired further)

Yes, absolutely ridiculous, but I'm curious to see what is going to happen with a CPU which has no logical cores, but physical cores instead. Probably there won't be any apreciable performance boost at lower resolutions, but with higher ones as  Loeschzwerg suggested ,maybe it could help to preserve frame rate a bit from falling down Wink

Hello,

Here Voodoo5k6 Gold SE tests on my new Supermicro Motherboard:

On PCI-X slot:

...

On PCIepxress slot:

...

- 3dmark2001se @166 MHz with Koolsmoky drivers on PCI-X:

...

- 3dmark2001se @166 MHz with Koolsmoky drivers on PCIexpress:

...

- 3dmark2001se @200 MHz with Koolsmoky drivers on PCI-X:

...

- 3dmark2001se @200 MHz with Koolsmoky drivers on PCIexpress:

...

As you can see the card has better results on PCIexpress slot (with two adaptors) than on PCI-X slot (with only one adaptor).

Why?
I don't know...

Michel,

It could be because IRQ is shared. Check your 6k in the others 2 left pci-x slot.

Regards,
Oscar.

Since it's a rather new mainboard (for Sandy Bridge) it is very likely that PCI (and PCI-X) isn't a native part of the chipset anymore and has to be added via an additional bridge chip. This bridge chip is connected then to a pcie lane. I guess that this bridge chip slows down the timings/speed. I have seen this behavior within all new mainboards that don't feature native PCI/PCI-X support.

You can see this also when using highend raid controllers.

Osckhar:

I will test it in few days...and let you know...

One other question:

As you can see on this picture, WinXP Pro Sp3 32 bits have only 2 Gb DDR3 in use...Why not 3,5 Gb?

nb. I have 2 * 4 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz connected to my Supermicro MB.

Don't think it's an IRQ problem (see my post before). But you can test this.

Since WinXP 32Bit can't adress more than 2GB for program use it doesn't matter if it shows 2GB or 3,5GB. Maybe PAE (physical adress extension) isn't activated?

You also need to divide all the other memory that needs to be adressed (VGA memory, soundcard and so on) => Win XP can handle max. 4GB.

Please test the Quake 3 Demo with the following settings:

1280x1024 @ 32Bit
texture/model quality at max
vertex lightning
8x FSAA
OpenGL as API


Voodoo5 6000 Gold SE @199 MHz.

My max resolution is 1024*768!

It's coming...

3,5 ns with watercooling system.


http://youtu.be/gzKFW1Jw-Fc

Good idea to compare with a 6ns card?
