Duke3d speed

[CU_AMiGA]

I think that Duke Nukem was great and worked very well indeed in my setup. I got around 20fps on the 68k version and around 30fps on the Warp version! :-) Very nice indeed!

Hello!

Yes, i get on average around 15-20fps, NEVER goes below 11fps! :-) I even caught it going around 40fps!!! But that was at much less busy/detailed bits. Still good! :-) I think the Blizzardvision makes a massive difference. I also have 8-Bit Fast Mono as the sound output. I also use a screenmode of 320x240.  DON'T use directcgx as that will cause some problems, speaking of which, i also use CGFX v4.2! :-)

As for the Warp OS version, this requires a PPC! And that is much faster and smoother than the 68k version, but lacks any sort of sound, so i will be using the 68k version a little while longer! :-)

The versions i use are:

amigaduke_v0.3.lha - For 68k Amiga's, as previously posted.
duke3dwos beta 1 - For PPC Amiga's.

Links are:

Duke Nukem 3D 68k
Duke Nukem 3D Warp OS

I hope that this helps.

Regards,

Oh yeah, the 060 or PPC is not overclocked whatsoever! He-He! :-)

One thing you might look at also. I found that AHI v5 really hogs the CPU! No matter what settings I used it strangled my 68040 to death. Make sure you use AHI v4.18 on 680x0, the difference in performance is astonishing.

Yes! Use AHI v4.18, that is currently the best and fastest version available. Never, ever, ever, ever get AHI v5! That was desiogned for Morph OS, not Amigas! :-)

Don't forget to download the latest paulaadio.device, i can't stress to you how important this is! VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

Oh yeah, just one more thing!

Duke Nukem 3D may wipe the partition/all of your Hard Drive, like me! :-( BEWARE!

Are you using PFS2/3?

Let me know.

@Framiga,

Thanks for the concern. I was using FFS (one with Amiga OS 3.9) at the time. People recommended me to try out SFS. I downloaded the latest BETA version but i can't seem to the HDTools settings to save the updated information. Filesystem, max transfer, etc.
