When is an FPU chip really needed????

@NovaCoder

Which version of TFX do you recommend for the 060?

@TCMSLP

Because of the way that Doom and Alien Breed 3D use a kind of 2.5D tech rather than full polygon 3D, a FPU isn't necessary. Quake is the first FPS that required a FPU and also Tales from Heaven a full 3D platformer probably requires a FPU (and a 060 where it's built in).

Thanks! ;-)

That's not a compelling argument for the Vampire getting a FPU ASAP (or a Classic user to upgrade to be honest) as most 'regular' users will just check out Amiga demos on YouTube if that scene interests them!
