QIII fps is better for nVidia products. Tom's hardware just did a nice
write up on comparing the nVidia based chipsets .. Sadly he didn't go into
great detail on how he reached his high fps scores. Maximum Linux also did
a write up in their latest magazine issue. They also didn't discuss their
QIII settings. There were probably settings used in the demo (low picture
details, etc) that 'increased' the fps.
Taken from page 77 of the magazine
@640x480
Voodoo 357.7 fps
Matrox G400 70.6 fps
nVidia 96 fps
The differences are even greater for 1024x768
Voodoo 333.4
Matrox G400 44.7
nVidia Geforce 75.4
Hope this helps

Subject: [newbie] New Video card sugestions
At long last i am attempting to use linux as my desktop for just about
everythin. One off the final parts of this decision was the porting off
specific games to linux. My question is, through research i have come to the
conclusion that the best 3d card for me to get fo gaming purposes( quake 3,
Unreal tournament) for my linux box would be one from 3dfx inc., could
anyone comment on this/give a personal prespective or give personal
experience on linux and 3d cards? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank
you
