Here is a snip from the Batch file to launch Motion-blur Quake 3... set FX_GLIDE_AA_SAMPLE=4 quake3.exe So on a V4 it's going to look like the Mercury because a V4 can only do 2 X AA. I think?

Yep, That's the T-buffer.

I've heard that on the the earlier geforce cards 256 & GeForce 2 when you tried to do motion-blur, you got the same result. Looked like 4 of 5 images lined up.

With the 6000 and 8 x AA the effect is like "mouse trails" with a laptop computer except that the secondary images are faded out.

It is a real cool effect to see and worth trying the blur demo on a 5500.

wow that's very nice and stunnining too Tongue

qhat reso did you play at 640 x 480?

your frame rate seemed to be quite high, i tested it on my 5500 At reso 1024 x 768 x 32 with 4x FSAA the framerate didn't get so high at all about 24 of so. on a 2700+.

I just want to know what the recommended reso is for the motion Blur demo. It crashes after a while too, quite strange.

640 x 480 with 8 tap AA, had to run at that res due to the video capture limits.

V5-6000 was run on an Epox board with AMD 1800+ under windows 98SE with the last certified 3dfx drivers. The board has been run at 1024 x 768 with 8 x AA overnight in testing Quake 3 with no crashes or stoppages.
