What do you end up with when you take a leading edge 3D game like Quake 3 and get to play around with it on a new low-cost graphics card based on NVIDIA's GeForce2 MX? Lot's of fun for sure - especially if you're into hard-core tweaking! After having wri
Review Verdict: For the most part, many of the graphic settings than can be maintained from the Quake 3 menus are adequate for an initial cut at tweaking. On the options menu, settings such as marks on walls and dynamic lights can be disabled. Color depth and texture q

Update: August 24, 2000 - I've included results using the Detonator 3 drivers to this guide. A significant increase in performance occurred at resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768. Especially exciting are the results at 1024x768 using high quality settings
