FWIW, the Windows version of UT2003 even runs (badly) on Intel 810 and Voodoo Banshee cards :) A G400 actually performs better than a TNT2 due to the increased fillrate. (all D3D) We scale back pretty well, though the OpenGL renderer never was written with the intention to work on G400 cards. The D3D renderer jumps through quite some hoops to deal with very old HW, disables certain features and simplifies certain materials/ shaders to avoid driver/ HW bugs/ limitations. I didn't bother doing that for the OpenGL renderer, which, FWIW, runs quite well on Voodoo 4/5 cards on Windows. As I've been seeing posts on /. about the topic: on Windows the OpenGL renderer performs within 5-10% of the D3D renderer on ATI and NVIDIA cards on the machines I tested. Sometimes it's faster, but most of the times its slightly slower than the D3D renderer, which doesn't come as a big surprise given the amount of tweaking the D3D codepath underwent on both our end and the driver side. -- Daniel, Epic Games Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
