As for the Acceleration on the card: 3D feature set: 7 million triangles per second 333 megatexels per second fill rate 128-bit 3d acceleration Dual, 32-bit rendering architecture True multi-texturing, 2 textures per-pixel per-clock Full hardware setup of triangle parameters Support for multi-triangle strips & fans Single pass, single-cycle bump mapping Single pass, single-cycle trilinear MIP-mapping Sub-pixel & sub-texel correction with 0.4 * 0.4 resolutions Per-pixel atmospheric fog with programmable fog zones Floating point Z buffer (W buffer) True per-pixel, LOD MIP-mapping with biasing & clamping Texture compositing for multi-texture & special effects Support for 14 texture map formats 8-bit palletized textures with full bilinear filtering Texture compression through narrow channel YAB format 2D feature set Fully integrated 128-bit VGA & 2D engine High speed 128-bit Windows GUI acceleration Hardware acceleration for Bresenham line draw, 2-edge polygon fill, scissor/rectangle clippers & full 256 ROPs Internal 256-bit data path Source & destination chroma-keying for DirectDraw Color expansion & single-cycle block writes Accelerated 8, 16, 24 (packed) & 32-bit modes Video subsystem Support for ultra-high resolution displays on PC monitors Resolutions of up to 2046*1536 at a full 75Hz screen refresh rate YUV 4:2:2 & YUV 4:2:0 planar supports -30 frames per second DVD playback with no dropped frames-
Supports the latest MPEG2 software codec's via DirectShow De-interlacing using Bob & Weave Separate gamma correction for video & graphics Auto page flipping using VBI for smooth motion video 350Mhz integrated RAMDAC Supports up to 24-bits per pixel or 16.7 million colors Sub-pixel image scaling technology Thanks to: http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardware/voodoo3-3kpci/index.shtml The 30 Frames per second DVD decode is most notable. I did a little research on the card before I decided to whack its BIOS into Mac. I didn't want to put to waste a good 3D card. In addition from experience it has always had great video performance in PC's below 300MHz and above. I don't just don't think my video card is the problem. Sorry for the long post of data. Mike In response to: "The reason you get such crappy performance is due to the fact that there is no hardware acceleration for video on the Voodoo 3....just 3D. -Josh" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
