leileilol do you believe that Doom3's shader programs are written primarily with NV30's architecture in mind? No, because it looks fine on NV15 as well, sans minor 'heat' and glass refraction effects :) I'm not even sure if Doom3 uses shader programs all that much. Quake IV had more shader use than …

All the DX8 games, FLEW on my machine. Medal of Honour, Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, RTCW. 1600 x 1200, everything max, +60 fps. Only Splinter Cell on that list is a DX8 game (the rest are standard, DX7-ish level OpenGL relying heavily on HW T&L and compressed textures, and they also fly fast on a …

Far Cry didn't struggle on R9800 for me. The 6800 hadn't even come out yet when Far Cry released :) Doom3's a OpenGL game, and at a minimum actually requires DirectX 6... it doesn't use GLSL which is why the FX can run it without too much of a fault. Introduce OpenGL 2.0 to the FX series and they …

I thought GeforceFX sucked on non-SM2/DX9 too. I recall the Geforce2 GTS stomps it at 3DMark and Quake3... In some extreme slow situations, things only start to get playable at 320x240 X_X I had Prey going at 60fps+ at that res together with a cvar that made it use the older unspported "NV20 path". …

I've always wanted to get into MIDI file development but one thing that always bothers me is the interfaces of most MIDI programs being either notation view or piano roll - not really the same kind of interface I find in a module tracking program as familiar. So that leaves out Cakewalk, Anvil …

For instance, AVP2 came out in 2001. This was the age right after Geforce, Pentium 4 and the gamechanging Athlon. But even when it was new, it ran beautifully on any Pentium 3 and a geforce 1 was plenty for decent framerates. The weird thing about that era is that some games were still made for the …

So the Pentium Pro is better than the MMX? I never did quite understand the difference. Yes, and no. Pentium Pros are 1995 processors that are overexpensive 'premium' CPUs for professionals (at the time, it was considered the hot shit to buy dual ppro200s for servers). They lack MMX (introduced in …
