I can't believe.
He manage to run Call of Duty2 and Fear on a V2 SLI rig. ( low resolution but anyway ... )
He used tweaked drivers and tweaked config file...
A driver developer ?
;)

Yea. Im starting to think these cards are more cpu limited than I thought. Im going to upgrade my cpu and add some ram and see if it bumps up my 5500 at all.

Voodoo5's especially are CPU limited. With a 1.4GHz Pentium3 you'll get about 1500 points in 3DMark2001se with a Voodoo5 5500. With an AthlonXP 2000+/2200+ you'll get about 2500 points and with an AthlonXP 3000+ you can expect about 3000 points.

It's mostly because they lack HW T&L.

Check out the benchmark pages at Gary's site for example;

Second youtube link gives me a - 404 not found... :-/

BTW is the FEAR video "REALLY" legit - is there any CONFIRMED proof that he wasn't just faking the whole thing... ::)

If there are tweaked drivers and config files for FEAR - is he willing to share? 8-)

Absolute fake, there is no way he's running Fear on V2 SLI.

I would not be so sure.
Maybe the guy has some tweaked drivers  ;)
Who knows ?

If it's really runing on v2, then on a V5 would FLY !
We have to contact this guy ....

I send him an PM  ;)

In control pannel, we can see that he has a Geforce 3 ti 500, witch supports PS 1.1...maybe FEAR is running on it ?

there is no way fear can be running on a v2 with that speed and image quality..remember the voodoo2 patch for doom3? fear would have to be even uglier than that when running on a v2..

I agreed with that.
It must be running on the geforce3... I suppose the guy believe that the game is rnning on voodoo cards  ;)
I send him an pm and he ask for my email adress, in order to send me the drivers.
I'm curios about what i would get ... 8-)
