wesaynothin Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I want to have Pixel Shading on my Morrowind. So I go into Options, and look at the option to turn it on. It is off. I cant make it go on either, My mouse can't click the little button thingie. Is this because I have the Nivida GForce 4? Plz help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Hmm... I don't think that the MX's puny little girl fists can handle pixel shading. Get a Radeon 9600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 The GeForce 4 Ti supports pixel shading, the MX does not. So which GeForce 4 do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marxist ßastard Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Luminus, I suggest that you reconsider. nVidia is a pretty bad choice right about now, at least if you have any application that uses DirectX instead of OpenGL, Morrowind being one of those applications. I also suggest that nVidia's new slogan become "The way we want it to be played," in light of their unofficial driver releases that override user graphics settings to increase benchmark results.

Switch Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 OpenGL? OpenGL is a type of Voodoo driver not Nvidia... and my GeForce4ti 4200 runs Morrowind just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 My understanding is that OpenGL is a standardized graphics language used as an alternative for DirectX. DirectX, however, is being used in most Windows games nowadays because it also consists of audio and input handling code. ID Software, however, stands by OpenGL. And since ID and nVidia are in bed with each other, nVidia's newer cards work with nothing but OpenGL, as shown in Half-Life 2 benchmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baphomet Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 All I can say is I'm running a Radeon 5800LE (128Mb) and had been for months before I found the pixel-shaders button and "turned them on"... Wow! I was stunned at the difference it made. If you're card ain't supportin' pixel shaders, Morrowind is reason enough to upgrade to one that does, IMO.
