Quake

in my experience in 3d shooter' games ....AGA is always faster than any gfx card...even compared with the fastest zorro 3 cards like the picasso 4 or the cybervision 64 /3d
AGA in PAL mode or NTSC beats any gfx card
the few exceptions are of course if the game uses warp3d libraries where the 3d engine of the gfx card do all the work....for example GL quake

That's what I've seen. The best performance I got was with PPC quake running with AGA screen. This was way before any AOS4 stuff. There was some illegal port or something I got hold of and that thing worked great, back in the day.

Kinda sad, that we can't get it to work better on an 8 Meg graphics card like B-Vision...

I did some testing of all Quake ports on my heavily optimised 603e/240mhz+060+bvision. Here are my results:
 
1) BlitzQuake (68k+Warp3D)
320x200 18.6fps (ppc version doesnt work)
 
2) GLQuakeWOS (WarpOS+Warp3D)
320x240 29.3fps (31.6 with r_fullbright set)
800x600 6.5fps
 
3) QuakePPC (PPC+CGX)
320x240 24fps
800x600 6.5fps
 
4) WarpQuake (WarpOS+CGX)
320x200 24fps
800x600 5.4fps
 
5) AwinQuake (PPC+CGX)
320x240 20fps
 
6) 'Clickboom' Quake (68K+CGX)
320x200 11fps
 
7) Coolquake (68K+CGX)
320x240 ..fps (still have to find this one. help?)

Pitiful.

With PPC Quake, in the GUI, I could see no screen options for 640x480, was using CGX.

I did, quite dissapointing I must say. But check out the other vid of Quake 3 running on a classic, much, much faster.

linky?

Wow, so to me, that's pretty good. But to be a total picky pants, that was too fast; just a big jumble of explosions to me (my old eyes). I like the slower pace of the original quake I and II (ii is my favorite).

Arena crap just went retardo to me. I'll be working on my 4.1C install tonight.
