Games and benchmarks

What has run, on which card, through which API, and how fast. Every number here was measured on the machine named, at the driver version shown. They are a record of engineering progress, not a like-for-like comparison: the machines and versions differ.

Quake II through OpenGL on an Intel GMA 950 — Quake II, OpenGL, Intel GMA 950.

3DMark 99 Max race test on an S3 Trio3D/2X — 3DMark 99 Max, Direct3D, S3 Trio3D/2X.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter through OpenGL on an Intel GMA 950 — Serious Sam: TFE, OpenGL, Intel GMA 950.

Games

Quake II1997
OpenGL
id Software’s OpenGL shooter is the classic test of an OpenGL ICD. Velocity9x’s OpenGL 1.1 driver runs it on most cards with a 3D engine.
Ran on 7 cards →
Quake III Arena1999
OpenGL
A harder OpenGL workload: multitexture, larger textures and 32-bit colour. It runs on Velocity9x’s modern targets, the HD 4600 and the Evergreen, Cayman and GCN Radeons, at up to 1600x1200.
Ran on 6 cards →
Half-Life1998
Direct3DOpenGL
Valve’s shooter runs on every card with a 3D engine in Velocity9x, through Direct3D and, on most, OpenGL too. The project’s standard Half-Life benchmark is the mwd5 timedemo: best of three runs on Half-Life 1.1.1.0.
Ran on 12 cards →
Serious Sam: The First Encounter2001
OpenGL
Croteam’s wide-open shooter runs through Velocity9x’s OpenGL driver on the Intel GMA 950.
Ran on 1 card →
Unreal Tournament1999
Direct3DOpenGL
UT99 runs on one card or another through Velocity9x’s OpenGL driver, and through Direct3D on the NVIDIA RIVA 128ZX.
Ran on 1 card →
Thief: The Dark Project1998
Direct3D
Looking Glass’s stealth game runs through Direct3D on the NVIDIA RIVA 128ZX.
Ran on 1 card →
Forsaken1998
Direct3D
Forsaken draws colour-keyed textures that also write depth, which led to a two-pass path on the Intel Gen4 and Gen5 chips in 0.44.0.
Ran on 2 cards →
Incoming1998
Direct3D
Rage Software’s Direct3D showcase. Parts of it were missing on the Intel Gen4 chips until 0.48.0.
Ran on 1 card →
Diablo II2000
Glide
Blizzard’s action RPG through its Glide renderer, on Velocity9x’s own Glide implementation: the shareware demo reaches the town.
Ran on 3 cards →
Need for Speed II SE1997
Glide
A Glide game running on an Intel netbook chip through Velocity9x’s Glide 2 implementation.
Ran on 1 card →
Carmageddon II1998
Glide
Its Glide option runs, menus and races, on the GMA 950.
Ran on 1 card →

Benchmarks

Demos

Rollcage1999
GlideDirect3D
The Rollcage demo menus and races through Glide, and runs through Direct3D on the Radeon X1200.
