Quake II - Runs like a dream on 68060!
« on: October 20, 2003, 02:57:26 AM »
I am running an A4000T, Cyberstorm MKIII 68060 @ 66Mhz, 128Mb Ram, CybervisionPPC 8Mb Gfx Card, SCSI HD.

After buying Quake II, I found it crashed alot before loading, until I sorted out a few things and it seems stable now.

I am running it in a fullscreen 16bit 640x480 screenmode and the game is absolutely great! I even experimented with a fullscreen 16bit 1024x768 screenmode and to my disbelief, it RAN VERY PLAYABLE! Slightly jerky however quite responsive. I am using miniGL also...

Can someone tell me how I can see the fps in Quake II? I would like to record the different speeds of the screenmodes.

I wonder if Heretic II etc would have worked on a 68060 and CybervisionPPC card?


Escom A4000T ^ Cyberstorm MKIII 68060 75Mhz ^ 128Mb Fastram ^ CybervisionPPC ^ IOBlix ^ Ariadne II ^ Prelude ZII ^ 147Gig 10k U320 SCSI HD ^ OS 3.9!

All the same, I think the 060 version will be lucky to push past 10fps in 640x480x16. But we'll soon see.


640x480x16 time refresh 5.627000 seconds (22.747467 fps)

800x600x16 time refresh 6.385000 seconds (20.046986 fps)

1024x768x16 time refresh 15.511999 seconds (8.251677 fps)

Definately over 10 fps! As I said it is a dream to play!
