#ATI Mach64 & Matrox MGA2
4 messages in this thread
Scott,
We're running ATI Mach 64 cards with Dell 90Mhz Pentiums at work, and although
the card itself seems fast, the screen readjustment/refresh times when you
switch resolutions (from 640×480 in the Materials Editor to 800×600 in the
other modules) is incredibly slow — 3 to 5 seconds! It also seems to take a
_long_ time to pop from the rendering status box to display the actual rendered
image; the program itself also seems to be taking a long time just to load.
Anyone out there have some answers on this?

We just upgraded to a genoa 64 with the S3 chipset and are having the same
problem. We're using the drivers that shipped with the card. Performance and
compatibilty wise it's a great card and very easy to setup. But when switching
modes it takes forever.

The latest drivers on the forum have reduced those times to about a second for
me (1280*1024 to 640*480). Still takes a long time to load, but since I rarely
leave I can live with that.

Jon,
Try the Vibrant 1.0.4 driver update. It will still take a while to load 3ds
the first time, but switching modes will be much faster.
