[m14radu]

Let's hope that SFFT will not stop the drivers development.
I"m also waiting for new releases !
@ SFFT: keep up the good work mate !

ok, so i manage to try the SFFT driver 1.5 in Vista Ultimate with my v5 6000.
It works very good, no problems still now !

I do also run a 3DMArk2001 test, see the results below:



Again, a very good driver from SFFT !

Thanks SFFT !

Somebody know what is new ?

There're some guidelines for our testing.

First of all, we can/must give importance to driver compatibility and/or portability on x64 OSes. And so it would be useful to install/run latest SFFT release on Windows Vista and/or Seven x64 Editions and submit the results, with some testing configuration info, of course.

Besides, another good idea could be to identifiy, using 32-bit or 64-bit OS, which games run with errors now, while these had no problems with previous releases.

Thanks a lot and good 3dfx for all.


Bye bye

SFFT 1.6 appears most efficient in geometry calculations. Point Sprites had an increase of more 50%!!!
