Open GL setup glsetup. Whilst a number of them had proprietary systems, Open GL was considered a useful 'cross-platform' language and so was supported by most graphics card manufacturers. However, "support" didn't always means "supply" so there was a need for a third party application to provide drivers that recognised and installed the appropriate OpenGL based material for a given graphics card.

More often than not, it was supplied on CD's used to install purchased games. When openGL drivers are used they make a noticeable difference to Quake 3's performance than the 'default' graphics card drivers as supplied with and when the the game is installed. For example, when compared to a games machine that had a classic Voodoo3 in place 16MB , the default drivers dated supplied on the VooDoos driver CD don't run q3 very well at all - missing polygons, transparent surfaces and generally a bad visual experience.

As an aside, the default drivers did seem to affect the connection quality to the internet when using a dial up modem device. Installing and updating to the latest available drivers with glsetup, at the time dated , meant that most of the graphics problems disappeared after a little fiddling around with Quake 3's main game settings.

Oddly, the new glsetup drivers adversely affected the modems connection to the net!. It's a must to run this really as graphics card manufacturers don't seem to update their own drivers too often, usually the graphics card drivers supplied on the products installation CD are the latest drivers!

Graphic card drivers are an area where you either have problems or you don't, there doesn't seem to be a 'happy middle ground' with them. The Voodoo's generally can handle q3 quite well without the GLSetup drivers but, and as an example, a friend yes I do have a life outside of Quake! I think you get the picture..! It doesn't take much to throw a system out of whack.

Some cards really do need the GLSetup, one in particular is the Diamond Stealth s I have one of these in another system , it won't have it at all!
