Re: Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Demo
Just bought the demo for 99 cents at Target. Comes with a code for preorder skirmish map, and 5$ off the full version when it comes out. Still at work, but I have my night planned. After Playing Edit: Well, it's uhm... boring. It's literally the Generals Engine with normal maps, the tech tree and number of units/options is… -
Re: Weird Squealing
Not sure if this is still true but with my older nVidia 6800 the reference driver would complain if the card wasn't receiving enough current and it would auto-throttle the card's clock way down so as not to damage any components. One way to test this is to get a multimeter and measure the 5V and 12V rails before and after… -
Re: dds compression problem
Of course, if you aren't really low on video memory you might not want to use DXTN. If you save the DDS using RGB565, it will look much better and the size will be 512k. (682 with mips) -

Re: GFX upgrade
I like Nvidia and ATI. I do have to say Nvidia has had more solid drivers in the past. However now days I find ATI perfectly fine. Maybe there's some oddities but I made OpenGL applications and used my ATI card and had no issues. Anyways this is why I choose ATI. Its probably just a fluke but its my experience. Geforce 2… -
Re: This is protoss.
dejawolf- i don't have a super machine either, this was done in zb3, around 1.4 million polygons, on a pentium mobile 2Ghz laptp, 2Gb ram and a Geforce go 6800. I am seriously considering getting a new rig. -_- -
Re: tomb raider legends 1 mill units!!
Malcolm. I'm on a 6800 and can run next gen just fine. Are you sure you chose to install all the next gen content on setup? Or is the GT one of those 'lite' versions of the 6800? I gotta say, frankly it's the best game i've played all year. Does'nt yet have the 'awestruck' feeling of the first or 2nd games though. But i'm… -
Re: Environment art for next gen. console games?
i doubt things will look like ue3, runs 30 fps on a 6800 ultra :/ my guess is, ut2004 amount of detail with a lot of per-pixel shaders and lighting. -
Re: Im gonna be an enviroment artist!!! but.....
The current crop of high-end PC cards (X800 and 6800) can do real time global illumination. This is seen in several of the Nvidia 6800 demos. It's rather expensive though, so I wouldn't recommend it. Most console games these days are still using vertex lighting for most of their needs. A lot of studios (ours included), do…
