WickedGL
FalconFly's
Tip -
WickedGL
comes into action where 3dfx V1.1 OpenGL compilant Drivers reach
their limitations.
This unique package is an advanced OpenGL Driver Tool, that was
developed even after 3dfx went down...
It offers
greater compatibility to many Games supported, and can offer
significantly higher performance in some games (e.g.
Counterstrike)
!
ThunderGL
Important
Notes -
ThunderGL
is a brand new OpenGL-to-OpenGL Wrapper and currently represents
an early but functional Alpha-Level Utility still experimental in
design.
Usage
is recommended for advanced Users only, make sure you carefully
acknowledge the ReadMe file details before use.
Further
Information and the Design Concept can be reviewed here ...
