Well, just bought a Monster Fusion (3dfx chip) 16Mb video card, hoping it
would improve the AW performance.

It has, but not how you might think.

I run a P100 (getting old now and soon to be upgraded), and had an old
Trident Chip 2 Mb video card. I was getting <2 fps in AW.

With the new card I zoom at around 6fps, UNTIL i installed the renderware
Direct3D drivers then it dropped to around 3-4fps.

Acceleration provided, but renderwares abilty to use Direct3D sux.

The RW Direct3D driver's performance depends on how many polys are in view. The more, the worse frame rate will be; the fewer, the better frame rate will be. http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/direct3d.html for more info.
