[WarpCast] NVIDIA DRIVERS - More detail - 8/19/99 |
Coming August 1999 -- Inet.Mail Pro 1.5 Virtual domains on a single ip address, increased performance, and more from the best mail server for OS/2. http://www.hethmon.com -- sales@hethmon.com ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Hugh McCreery (maxvamp@hypermall.net) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** The other day I posted a news flash that NVIDIA has posted OS-Neutral core drivers for three of their cards: RIVIA128, TNT, and TNT2. I have recieved several emails informing me that the TNT and the TNT2 drivers already exist from NVIDIA. This I realize, and I posted anyway with the following mindset. 1. Although there may be OS/2 drivers for a particular card, often they do not take full advantage of the card itself. Features are often missing such as hardware 3D acceleration, or other features. In the case of the TNT series, there is a Video capture feature that their OS/2 drivers do not even attempt to utilize. 2. Furthermore, Often, such is the case for Matrox and others, while there are drivers out there, the performance of these cards are far below the Windows counterparts because the manufacturer wanted to ' just make it work' Often this leaves room for improvement. Look at SciTech's driver package. I am sorry for the confusion I may have caused, but I was under the belief that the (all) news flash(es) I submit can be of use to the community as a whole to better improve OS/2 and keep it #1 in many areas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
