Q3Test Impressions: Bad News: ---------- The TNT card with 32-bit rendering looks noticably better. They are using very detailed textures so it is no longer a "only-the-sky-looks-better" issue. There are lots of smoke trails during a firefight and on the V2s, the smoke trails have visible banding and that infamous "Voodoo grid" effect is very noticable. No problems of any sort on the TNT. When a rocket hits a curved surface, on the V2s the explosion has polygonal edges to it. Not on the TNT. Good News: ---------- The TNT's framerate still sucks. Barely playable at 640x480 in a firefight. V2s are very playable at 800x600. Bottomline: Still the same old same old - do you want to stare at the pretty walls or PLAY THE GAME?!?! BTW: I'll be installing a V3 3000 later today. Stay tuned. IF YOU KNOW ME and you still can't get the download, send me private email and I'll send it to you.
