Our application is achieving almost a 50% performance increase using
Java 3D 1.2.1 beta 1 (OpenGL) (on a GeForce video card system). Frame
rates in different areas of our scene went from 22 fps to 29 fps and
from 55 fps to 88 fps.
On one low end machine (AMD K6-200, 32 Meg RAM, 3dfx Voodoo 3, Win98 SE,
DirectX 8.0) the new Java 3D 1.2.1 beta 1 SDK installer is failing,
otherwise the new installation routines are very nice!
Also I've tested the v1.06 drivers for the Voodoo 3 and it appears 3dfx
has improved the texture issues. Textures that are powers of two
(256x256) now appear to display perfectly. Textures with odd sizes
(176x256) are still displaying corruption.
