Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (1997) on Pentium Pro + PowerVR PCX1 PC - 3D acceleration vs. software
Here is a recording that demonstrates running Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 on a Pentium Pro 200Mhz computer with a Videologic Apocalypse 3D (PowerVR PCX1) PCI 3d accelerator. This will be a comparison between running the game in 3D acceleration and software rendering for educational purposes. Despite being a Direct3D game and not optimized for SGL the game appears to both run pretty well and look good on the PCX1. System Specifications: - Dell Optiplex GXPro case and motherboard - Intel 440FX chipset - Pentium Pro (200Mhz, 256K cache) processor - 512MB EDO RAM - S3 Trio64V+ video card - Videologic Apocalypse 3D accelerator - Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 accelerator - Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 (CT3900) sound card
