Ik lees bij Matrox Users dat Matrox bezig is met een TurboGL driver die Quake 2 & 3, Half-Life en Unreal een vette performance boost moet gaan geven. De drivers zijn wel alleen voor Pentium 3's en AMD Athlon's . Hier heb je wat info, voor benchmarks, klik hier. De driver zal 8 oktober gereleased worden.
Why develop a mini-ICD?
While Matrox continues to optimize and certify it's full ICD for all application areas (including high-end professional OpenGL applications such as 3D StudioMax), we have dedicated parallel resources to develop a mini-ICD that provides game enthusiasts increased performance on selected popular gaming titles and platforms. The Matrox G400 TurboGL increases performance when running Quake II, Quake III, Unreal and Half-Life on a Pentium III or an AMD K7 system.The mini-ICD will be integrated in the 5.30 driver that is scheduled for public release on October 8. The 5.30 driver will use the Matrox G400 TurboGL driver automatically when it detects the above mentioned systems and games. Games that are not supported by the Matrox G400 TurboGL will automatically use the full ICD also integrated in 5.30.
How much of a performance increase can users expect from the mini-ICD?
Matrox anticipates the following scores at 640x480 resolution, in 16-bit colour:Quake II: 100 fps
Quake III: 75.8 fps
Half-Life: 35 fps
(Unreal performance will be available on October 8, 1999).
