No idea if this tool can be useful but always interesting to know.
But if you try it, please be careful.

It IS very useful indeed. :-)
3dfx users can emulate features, to start San Andreas for example -- or use the 3D Analyzer. ;-)

If you have a Radeon, you can enable 2x2 (4x) SSAA on it! The windows drivers don't allow that ... and with this prog you get a nice boost of image quality. Try it out!

Do you know what are exactly the differences with 3DAnalyzer except that the second can run some OpenGl features ?

DX Tweaker allows more low level settings.
P.E: With 3DA you only can "emulate Bumpmapcaps" whereas DXTweaker allows to set any multitexturing cap.

But the biggest point is, that DXTweaker is still in development and furthr Versions will (propably) inlcude some very usefull features for our voodoo5 cards like forcable DXT1.

(But i'd like it more, to see this feature in the next driverrelease :D )
