TRIBES OpenGL

Jul 09, 1999 7:08pm CST tags: TRIBES
Nels Bruckner of Dynamix updated his .plan with some more word on the v1.6 update of TRIBES which should be including a lot of changes to the OpenGL part of the code. Surprisingly the Savage4 card of all things is a big performer.

The end result will hopefully be that no one with a TNT-based accelerator will have to run Tribes in software mode (yeah!). In fact, initial reports from our QA department indicate that the TNT performance is now very comparable to the Glide performance in earlier versions. Performance on other manufacturer's cards is a mixed lot, depending quite heavily on the state of thier drivers
