I got a bit of a Performance hit when I ran it through GLExcess (latest version) at both 16 and 32bit color screnn set at 1024x768. Undecided

So is he going for quality factor I take it? I couldn't tell by the screen shots what the difference was either if he is.

System:
Voodoo 5500 AGP
Pentium III - 450
320MB PC100
20GB WD ATA 66
SBLive

As far as we know, newer versions of glide (vooodoo5 glide as oposed to voodoo3), bring interesting differences in GLExcess, due to the nature of the tests.

Generally, the overall quality and speed was pushed a bit more, but the results were not so clear in other apps or games, therefore GlExcess might not be the best tool to judge quality/performance. We haven't tested this new version of glide, but it might be the same.

Try unreal Tournament, Quake3, NFS5. These are the games that push the limits in glide, and were you can say clearly: here is faster, here is better...
