Actually due to my slightly dodgy code you (we all) can speed up Cybercube Chronicles 3

Remove the lines

m.x[y][x] = 0.001*((tan(x))*dx);
m.y[y][x] = 0.001*((tan(y))*dy);

And you will get a 10-20% speed increase or somethings. Opps I'll at some point update my pack.

the rest of the driver is 4.7, but the opengl part is from 3.1, which they claim is their best opengl driver... dunno, cant wait for them to come out , would really like to try them myself

Hi. The Galaxy scene is a tad slow I know - its a simulation of particles with gravity. The problem is it uses the CPU lots, not the GPU. Because its using R4's scripting lots it kills it. a better VM for scripting would solve a lot of stuff - I may attempt to produce a ultra fast VM in future, but it'll slow down load times yet more.

Looks like your P4 is acting a bit sad though. I'd check that water cooling is working ok... Galaxy runs around 50fps on my XP2400. It doesn't even need a fan on the heatsink

weird. Well, you need that checked out. Tested mine just now and:

74.3fps - so its basically capped by vsync.

Why its so much less on yours I have no clue - mine's hardly special kit.

gotta be an ati thing...

Nope not an ATi thing here I have a XP2800 GF4 Ti 4200 128MB and it's slow.

640x480
Pbuffer = On
Pbuffersize 512x512

Runs at 33 fps

800x600

Runs at 32

ALso tried on many more

e.g. A GF4 Ti4800 and with a XP2600 (I think - decent anyway) and slow.

Strangeness is afoot.
