Whoa, goed nieuws! In de laatste Q3Test status update wordt er gezegd dat id Software eind deze week de nieuwe Q3Test gaat releasen. Er zal o.a. een nieuwe 1 on 1 map in zitten en ook de teamplay code. Ook staat er iets in over de Athlon (en een of ander ATI kaartje), die hier nog de K7 wordt genoemd:
Speaking of the AMD K7, I got to play Quake3 on a K7 600mhz along with the new ATI 3D card (ATI Rage128 Pro) which has not been announced yet. You can expect the announcement for the new card at QuakeCon this year though, which all of the tournament machines will be using. The word on the new ATI cards is that they are of course faster than the current Rage128 cards, feature improved 16bit dithering and minor bug fixes. They aren't quite as fast as the TNT2 Ultra cards though. The K7 machines were absolutely HAUL ASS fast, believe the hype and benchmarks guys. Those K7 machines rock, the moment they can be bought make sure and pick one up if you're looking for serious framerate.
