Forcing 3D processing on old games
I can use the drivers to set values for AA/AF. What I'm wondering is if this means the card performs the AA/AF requests from the game at that level, or if it just automatically does it to everything. See, I've been playing some ut98 (yeah, yeah) and it runs like ASS. If I turn my driver settings down (or to 'auto') it runs fine. So is the card processing the shit out of old UT98? Should it look better with all that texture work being done?

With forceware drivers you can set application profiles or make settings apply across the board. 2d games like DiabloII get fucked by visual oddities if AA is on. UT, being such an old game, might have problems with AA and AF.
In fact, a 300 mhz K6 system outperformed my 1 ghz Athlon Tbird in that game. The difference was the Voodoo card in the older system, compared to my GeForce2 in the other.
It was meant to run on Glide. It performs terribly in other modes and stuff like skybox transparencies are glitched. If you want to play this game on a system without a Voodoo card, get a Glide wrapper.Chris OFarrell wrote:I can't remember much about the original UT but what is it running through? Open GL? Direct 3D? I'm sure it was too recent for 3DFX cards...

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
