Who cares which card is better,
3dfx released an option that speeds up their cards, and offers gamers a chance to tweak there FPS.

this is a good thing for the gaming community :P

Well, no promises because I am lazy and I have a cold to boot, but maybe later today I can yank the V5 out of my server and put it in my gamebox to see if this shit is for real or not.

I make no promises, and with that I must go back to bed and hope I wake up well. Being sick sucks ass!

To anyone who thinks 3dfx makes bad cards, take this into account:

I've had my V3 2000 for I think a bit more than a year now, which I bought for not more than 130 dollars. It has never once given me trouble, as it is the standard for most every core game out there. Did anyone buy a geforce 2 at the same time Deus Ex came out? Hmm, how did it run?

I don't care how fast a cards architecture is. An extra 200 dollars and a lot of wack-ass driver problems isn't worth it to me for higher FPS.

suck it down

Er to anyone that replied to #34,

I only said it was useless until it is sustainable at all resolutions and colordepths with little or no performance decrease

If you can run it in any resolution and have your framrate never dip below at least 60fps, then that is the time that FSAA will truly be a thing of beauty. Until then i'd rather have smoother framerates than smoother edges.

I'm not ragging on FSAA OR saying that its better on Geforce's or whatever because it plainly isn't.

You people need to infer less and takes more comments at face value.

Anyway the new feature in the drivers was useless to me as no matter what setting I chose, it had tearing and flickering.

Since it is beta it would be nice to get it finalized.

Especially if they can incorporate this into the Rampage drivers as well.
