The Q3A Engine is so much faster than HL's Cheesy Q1 Engine.  I love the Eye Candy you get with a GeForce3 on Q3A especially with  Quincunx Anti-aliasing.  Gotta love the realistic look of player models, sides of walls, corners, and stuff like that and still get an amazing 60Frams persecond at 1600x1200x32bpp with everything full speed ahead.  THe OpenGL in Q3A is a lot better than it is in Half Life by far.  I wonder what version of OpenGL Rendering is used by HL anyways.  I enjoy seeing 130FPS on Q3A when I run the demos with full texture quality at 1024x768x32bpp on the latest Q3A Demo before on the Demo1 I was seeing 201FPS, and boy that was blazing.  Gotta Love nVidia.   Thanks, Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J Mitchell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 1:39 AM Subject: RE: FilePlanet They do that because Quake III is a good all-around benchmark for video cards. It can really tax a card with some of those levels. HL is just the Quake 1 engine on speed, so it can run on just about anything these days. Even my old Riva TNT could run it great!     ----------------------------------------------------- Robert J Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------     -----Original Message----- From: Eric Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FilePlanet   What really irks me is that the hardware sites still insist on using Q3 for their benchmarks for video cards...  Hundreds of thousands of people would much rather know how it performs in HL/CS/TFC.   Eric (the Deacon remix) http://www.firekite.com   -----Original Message----- From: Scott Cassaday [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FilePlanet here is a tidbit from fileplanets site "Twenty MILLION Megabytes Served Why are there long lines on the public servers? Becayse the Half-Life and Counter-Strike updates are obscenely popular. In fact, since they were released on Wednesday, we've served around 20 terabytes, or about 20 MILLION megabytes of data. That's around 13,888,889 floppy disks or 31,008 CD's worth of information. And we're still going! "   Guess HL is still king of the hill.
