Matrox G400 TurboGL

As far as I know, by just selecting the OpenGL option, it should automatically use the TurboGL driver. I've also got a g400 MAX, and installed the new drivers, although i've never tried the new TurboGL with UT.

To change your video options, start UT with the following switch:

-changevideo

In other words go to start/run and enter X:\UnrealTournament\System\Unrealtournament.exe -changevideo
Where X is your drive letter.

Good Luck

I'm using the TurboGL on my system (G400 MAX, Athlon 550, 384MB of RAM) with UT. Tried it and liked it.

Pros - Runs smoother. I've got the HUD on, the detail on the skins turned to medium. I think the rest is pretty high. Average FPS is about 45 at 1024x768 (anything less is uncivilized).

Cons - MEMORY HOG! I've 384MB of RAM. I used to leave HL up in the background. I can't anymore - it'll lock the machine, or make UT run like a flipbook.

Gamma's extremely low. I maxed the brightness, and it seemed to be as bright as the darkest D3D setting. I had to up the gamma in the display control panel. If anyone knows the console commands for upping brightness, I'd appreciate it.

I sometimes get black squares where smoketrails should be, and pieces of polygons are missing occasionally.

Just my $0.02

I have come to the conclusion that openGL in UT dont work to well..use D3D instead....sure hope they come up with a new patch so openGL runs smooth..maybe its just my system OpenGL is Jerky on? /~unreal/ubb/html/wink.gif

hehe - I have the OpenGL slideshow too.

But I think it's something specific to my system, as every game I have locks up in OpenGL after 3-10 minutes.

I think the Gamma problem is somehow inherent in the OpenGL support, as both UT and WoT have it.
