ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 My Geforce 4 Ti 4200 works very will with DirectX - currently DirectX 9 :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Same here. My version's 8.something but that's just because I haven't had any real reason to upgrade (yet). I've never used OpenGL drivers with an Nvidia, I didn't even know it could support them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 The problems are in games using DX9-specific code... If you run any given DX9 game that'll be released in a month or so, those cards will flounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 So if we run a DirectX 9 game with DirectX 9 drivers installed the game won't run properly? Yeah! That makes sense. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 ....what kind of question is that "will the fx series have a pixel shader"...or course it will, it needs that and the vertex shader for the beatiful effects in...doom 3...or something else, whilst you people are in....water reflection heaven spare a thought for the little people with dodgy pentium 3's that can barely run the game :D good thing im gettin a new comp soon, i swear i just saw the monitor button fall off...

HeLLL Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The problems are in games using DX9-specific code... If you run any given DX9 game that'll be released in a month or so, those cards will flounder. *cough thats BS *cough Not to sure how you come to that conclusion Marxist. I am a NVidia 4 Ti 4200 user and currently play Direct X 9 games with NO problems. You may want to back up that statement with some facts. <curious more than anything> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hell, you know me. I would never make a statement without appropriate proof. Here is a report on a presentation from the Gabester himself concerning nVidia's driver tamperings and generally poor performance with all types of pixel shader without application-specific code. Note that nVidia has their driver police working 24/7 to "fix" games that weren't working at a satisfactory level. Our boys up in Canada do not need anything of the sort. Want to see it with your own eyes? These are the screenshots from a fairly good and open DX9 benchmarking utility. As you can see, the newer nVidia card sacrifices visual quality (and probably also stability) to gain a few extra FPS, but still gets smacked in the face by that near-ancient 9500 Pro. http://techreport.com/reviews/2003q3/radeon-9800xt/rthdr-9500pro.png http://techreport.com/reviews/2003q3/radeon-9800xt/rthdr-5900u.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
