    Hello,


    i have Picasso96 3.32 and i bought a BVisionPPC because i was tired of the Mediator instability, but with my surprise i noticed that games like WipeOut 2097 runs very slow, even at very low resolution, at 320x256 i get less than 10fps.

    Is there any known bug or some setting i have to use?

    I have my doubts that P96 can be the cause of this. Better check your accelerator settings or run Intuition / Graphics tests in SysSpeed on both setups. That will give you an answer about P96/gfx card performance.

    Well Jens, with CGX 4.2, i can even play wipeout 2097 in window with no slowdowns, so it looks like the problem should not be in hardware but in some software setting

    Can you run the SysSpeed Intuition/Graphics test with both setups? I really don't want to be chasing ghosts because a game is doing weird things.

    WipeOut 2097 is well known that runs better in Window than on screen.

    Even with a BlizzardPPC clocked at 330Mhz you won't have big differences.

    There is an option to set the draw distance, and this make a good difference in framerate.


    Try instead the game on an Amiga 4000 with CyberstormPPC and CVision3D... the game flyes.
