The fastest card I have used for playing FLIC files is the TSENG Labs ET-4000
W32P (not any other incarnation of the w32).
It is a TRULY fast card for DOS bitmap performance.
It outperforms my Diamond Viper for Animation playback.
However, Windows performance is not as good as many of the 'Accelerator Cards.)
The W32P is also much faster than the ATI Ultra Pro cards we use at work when
it comes to DOS animation playing.
Most of the expensive Accelerator cards have a polygon or 'Line Draw' chip
which speeds up windows Displays as they consist mainly of Straight lines and
boxes. Most however don't improve Animation playback
speed.
Hi Micheal,
I just bought one of these only to find out the onboard DAC is NOT supported by
3DS < sigh> mine came with a SGI Thompson chip set…Not AT & T, NOT Hi
Serria…some obscure DAC <dam>
Works well but material editor in 640x480x24bit – NO…
Have you got the latest Vibrant drivers from here????
(Shame on you for buying a Tseng Clone card) The ones from Tseng themselves are
directly supported.
