Re: [Virtools] Speed Problems...

Well, your experience with ATI Rage series mirrors mine - they are about 10%
to 20% of the speed of a TNT2.

The render engine in Dev relies heavily on the abilities of the card... and
the CPU is used to run the Behavioral Engine.  Which means that you may have
to reduce your poly count and/or, if possible, remove all lights from the
scene and set your materials to emissive instead of diffuse lighting.

>From my experience, those two have helped the most... perhaps others have
suggestions too?

p.s. Thanks for taking a look at the fountain ;-)
