Viper - what's your fps in this game?

The best I get on the benchmark with max sound and max gfx at 1024x768 is 54.6 fps. This game must have a fps limiter or something cause at 512x364(?) I still only get around 54 fps. This is on a 450a, TNT, 128mb, BH6

You should feel privileged; I get 17.6! (233 MHz K6 MMX, 64MB, Rage Pro Turbo 8MB at 800 X 600.) Man, I can't wait until the Rage Fury PCI comes out! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Remember the good old 1980's, when things were so uncomplicated?

Heres what I get: I was getting 35fps at 1024x768 with detail and distance set at about 75% and spec effects on low. Then I downloaded the dx6 beta drivers and now I am getting 52fps and thats with all detail and effects at 100%. The game runs so much smoother and without ANY GRAPHIC GLITCHES ,like the triangles and holes in cars and the track. It even SOUNDS better. I love these new drivers.In case anyone is interested the file is named rkv2dx6(zip) and is available from the 3dfx web site.

How do you manage that?!?! I have a 166 48 meg ram in 640 X 480 and moster 1 getting me 14-16!!! Something fishy with my system i suspect...

Or, you've reached the maximum bandwidth of the card... I get 52fps at 800X600 with everything on. I'm hardly complaining :) -Larry

Stupid system! whats your problem! <whacks cpu> My 166 48meg monster1 is getting me 14! i expect a little more outta this thing, but Noooo! Wonder what the prob is. Oh and thats 14, with 1 AI car and all graphics options turned all the way off! >"Obselett" pentium 200, 96mb ram, Creative Labs TNT PCI gets me 43 fps >with everything turned on. >Steve LaMunion

I have a K6-233, 48mb ram with a Monster 1 and I get 32fps with all the cars and graphics turned on. Dan

Celeron 450a, CL TNT, 196 sdram I get 55 fps in all resolutions from 640x480 up to 1024x768. I also have a voodoo 2 in here, but the image was so washed out and ugly I decided to not even bother. John 'Zaphoid' Krutke

yes- Viper actually compensates for GAMME in the software so when you combine it with the default 1.7 settings of the voodoo driver it gets WAY TOO BRIGHT! I also noticed that the new reference drivers from 3Dfx also seem to have increased the gamma levels. I had to bring my gamme down to 1.2 for most games and 1.0 for Trespasser. Of course the Diamond Viper 550 AGP looks totally sweet with crisp contrast, brilliant colors and better-than-voodoo graphics and performance.

>I have a K6-233, 48mb ram with a Monster 1 and I get 32fps with all the cars >and graphics turned on. My K6-300 gets a drop in fps to about 12 I guess (I've never actually turned on a frame-rate counter and don't even recall how to or even if the manual said anything about one) when racing in the pack at the start of a race, this using a Rendition V2100 card (Stealth II S220). I wonder if forcing the game to use my Monster 3D card would result in better frame rate performance. In GPL, the Rendition card gives better frame rates, so I just let Viper stay set for the Rendition card. Maybe I should dig out the manual and read about how to force it to use an alternative 3D card. -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 5 Dec.

Good programming practices! Must not have used Microsofts development systems :) -Larry > "Obselett" pentium 200, 96mb ram, Creative Labs TNT PCI gets me 43 fps > with everything turned on.

I have a P450, 128megs, 16meg riva tnt, everything on close to 70 incockpit, drops to about 40 with others cars in view

I'm getting 47 with k6-350 64 meg, 12 meg Voodoo 2, everything on except detail at the level where car windows are blacked out. K.

I'm getting 60.1 in with an overclocked pentium II 448 (112x4, benchmarks faster than a 450) 128MB of ram and a 12MB Voodoo2.

c'mon guys, at least specify resolution with your framerates. rob.

I read that with GPL the mirrors can really slow down a V2 card. I was wondering if the same is true for Viper and if it is then is the benchmark with its outside view affected by the mirrors? Lutrell

> c'mon guys, at least specify resolution with your framerates. > rob. I agree. What's a framerate count worth when you don't know at what res? I get 48fps, 1024*768, everything maxed out on the benchmark test. P2-300,64Mb,Riva TNT -- Torgeir Foss Oslo, Norway

I run all my benchmarks with _everything_ turned on. As for the mirrors slowing down GPL, they surely will in my case. Displaying a constantly changing rear-view of spinning grass, guardrails, and flying pedestrians is *** frame rates :) In other words, I suck at GPL :) -Larry > I read that with GPL the mirrors can really slow down a V2 card.
