Quake 2 - OpenGL Image Comparison

i740 - StarFighter AGP Voodoo2 - Creative Labs
Shot #:
Screen 1: Screen 1 Screen 1
Screen 2: Screen 2 Screen 2
Screen 3: Screen 3 Screen 3
Screen 4: Screen 4 Screen 4

Compared to the Voodoo2 there is very little room for improvement with the i740's image quality. As you can tell by the above Image Quality Comparison, the i740 wipes the floor with the competition in terms of quality, the only difference between thhe i740 and the Voodoo2 screen shots from above is the difference in gamma adjustments between the two boards. Other than that, Voodoo2 owners should be expriencing much more than i740 users, and plus, with the Real3D StarFighter you gain above average 2D Performance as well as this sharp image quality.

    I dunno, I have a good feeling about 3DFX. I suspect that they will be the only game in town before too long. OpenGL? DirectX? No chance compared to Glide!

    I totally agree. Though I am still holding a candle for S3.

    I don't know, despite the decent performance here, I have a feeling that Intel is going to give up on discrete graphics for 23-24 years or so. Maybe some Earth shaking event, like a global pandemic or something, will get them drive them to release another video product.

    They won't do it for a pandemic, I predict it will be related to some kind of encoding or encryption task, possibly done on a GPU due to their parallel nature and high memory bandwidth.

    Just crazy ramblings of an old man...

    /sarcasm people, look at the dates
