== Poor performance with 3dfx graphics mode ==

# If you only have an integrated or very old video card, you may have to switch to ddraw in the Launcher Options

# If you have an AMD video card, the current version of D2GL used to provide updated (3dfx) graphics has performance issues, even on higher end cards. Future updates to D2GL will hopefully help as they're merged into ProjectD2.
