I haven't run it on a 486 yet, but it looks quite fine on a 60MHz Pentium
with PCI Matrox MGA-II display card in full screen mode.

I've run DOOM on both a Pentium 60 and a 486 66 from Gateway 2000. The
486 had a vesa local bus ATI GUP and the Pentium had an ATI PCI bus 
ATI GUP. The pentium was really not much faster (maybe 20%) but I didn't
have time to do any speed tests using the developer mode dots at the
bottom of the screen. Basically it ran wonderfully on both machines!

As I said in an earlier post, I really thought my friend's 486-80 (pushed 
66) VLB was faster than Gateway's Pentium PCI/Viper offering.  I didn't 
test it out w/the dots, but I would say I have played my share of DOOM.

Ok, when using -devparm, what do the little dots on the bottom of the
screen mean?

what does the response have to do with the quoted message?  or the subject
line?  there are so many posts in this group that most people probably
just scan the subjects (if their newsreader can do that) if they even do that.
it makes sense to change the subject line to something relating to your
message.  it makes even more sense to NOT quote a completely unrelated
message to the one you are posting.

Taylor Gautier <ez00...@othello.ucdavis.edu> said something about
PCI/Pentium/Viper for Doom, and mentioned the little dots seen on the
bottom left hand side of the screen when -devparm is used:

At this point, I posted a two line question, because I didn't (and still 
don't) know what the dots represent.

Nathan Pritchard <nat...@owlnet.rice.edu> spent many more lines flaming
me because "what does the response have to do with the quoted message?"

So, if anyone _can_ see what my reponse has to do with the quoted message,
could you please post or mail me on the signifigance on those little dots?

Thanks, and kill a muncher for me!

Hehehe.  You weren't outa line, and I thought I'd just let ya know, I 
have no idea.  Judging by the posts I have seen, it is some way of 
telling your fps.  Anyone?

The dots at the bottom of the screen refer to the amount of sound output at
the time (I would call this volume, except that the level of the dots doesn't
change if you change the volume output from your sound card using the options
from the main menu).
	This is why those little dots go up and down during the title screen
and why they go way up when you do such things like blow up a barrel or open
a door.

David Simpson

It's the current frame rate the game is producing.  The slower your computer,
the more graphix calculations it's doing, the further the dots move to the
right.
