On 26 Apr 1996 15:05:43 GMT, Nathan Kopp shared with us these insightful words:
: I downloaded the QUAKE test demo about a month ago. It ran painfully
: slow on my P75, even in 320x200 mode. Is this slowness the fault of
: DJGPP (Descent II using DOS4GW runs much faster) or is it ineffecient
: programming on the part of ID software. Maybe they've got an optimized
: version available now that runs faster (sounds that way...if somebody's
: running it on a 486). Comments anyone?
It may be your system configuration. I have seen the quake test run well
( greater than 20 fps in 320x200 ) on P-66's, and I get 37 fps on my
P90. Try booting clean - you may have a driver that is conflicting or
at least slowing it down.
