@Boiu_Andrei

This the last time I "clear up" your weird statements.
Refrain from making them in the future, or face consequences.
Read up on those basics > then post, and not the other way around... [/quote]

I agree with you Blackhawk, Andrei has improved, in quantity and quality, the discussion in this forum, and I have learned a lot with his insights.  Falconfly needs someone to make him throw off all his knowledge, he...he...he...
Bye!

This topic obviously dead, not becuase of the many point/counter-points regardless of whether or not they've been re-hashed, etc. but rather it seems boui andrei is getting a little pounded on.  Undecided

Shall I make a return? I don't know, I am still thinking at this aspect...
But why not stick a light up again?

What was the first game that used multi-texturing?
Quake2.

What can multi-texturing do? Show more realistic objects, use of bump-mapping effects, transparency, chrome (shiny) objects... You can continue the list.

Even if some of you know how single texturing is, let's try and see how much can a mutli-texturing environment affect the performance on a multi-texturing capable board, and on a single-texturing capable board.

We will take this games as a benchmark:
NFS3, Quake3, Unreal Tournament and GTA3.

Say how much you think multi-texturing use is enhancing each game, where you see it clearly, and how much performance you loose when multi-texturing is used on both a capable and on a non-capable single pass multi-texturing board (eg. Voodoo3 as opsed to Voodoo Banshee and other cards might follow)...

Yup, sure am, I also own all them re-mastered in THX/DTS.

If you want to talk further on this, please start another thread for it so we don't confuse anyone reading this particular post.

In response to Boiu_Andrei's post below...

Our new discussion has been moved to the "This & That" area... Tongue

Although you seem to be correct, this thread looks a bit dead now! Sad

Oh well! Roll Eyes

Wonder if there is anyone interested in continuing this topic. With "paulpsomiadis" and "Black_out", imediately starting a new discussion, and also because of the fact that the last post regarding multi-texturing was not continued by anyone...

Is there seriously anyone interested in continuing this topic in the same way as before???

so from reading this thread, it seems to me that the 3dfx voodoo 6000 card must be the most advanced video card produced today for playing games

i wonder , cos i keep saying that 8x mode looks bloody photographic and it would seem that no ati or nivida card currenty can do this

im playing motogp in 800x600 in 8x mode and getting the required 60fps a sec im sure it so darm fast

the vodooo 6000 currenty with 2ghz cpu support along with new koolsmokey drivers can make the system wiz along perfecty

i also super cool the card with a 35cm desktop fan pointing into the case

perfect for the v6000 as it staying nice and cool the surface of the card behind the vsa100s

compared to no cooling and things really heat up hey

Mister ElvisAlive:

From were did you draw that strange conclusion that this topic was about V6000?
Again the story with the MotoGP. What is so amazing at that game anyway?
Overclocking, overclocking, wonder if it is anywhere else interesting for you, or worth...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To Admin (Falconly or Patience):

At what can a topic get to when the topic has get to more than 4 pages: nonsense.
As a very rare attitude and request for admin, I would recommend this topic to be closed, because it is already gone too far from where it started. This way it would somehow preserve what is still connected to the point.

OKAY!

With request from Boiu_Andrei, time to get this thread back on track!

It's quite true that cards nowadays have lesser image quality than what are deemed to be 'older' cards such as the Voodoo series.

Case in point - with the early GeForce cards (and probably STILL with the current ones) there are web sites that show how 'fuzzy' the image quality of the GeForce cards are.

The only way that this 'fuziness' could be removed was to physically modify the card by removing some resistors on the output lines of the card and shorting across some inductors.

Hmm...the original source of this info is DOWN...so check out what I mean at the bottom of THIS page...

http://users.froggy.com.au/frogge/pepper/video/vidreport1.html

Hmm...how about some screen shots of image quality comparison between cards!

Nuff said for now!

PEACE!

I have to add to this, the run of "FR - Poem to a horse", available on Bdreams website, although it is poossible to be found on others. Running with all the settings at maximum on an Nforce2 IGP, the quality IS questionable. One of the things mostly noticed is the text, that everywhere is blurred. In the credits zone at the end of the demo, the text is nearly too blured to be read.

On contrast, even if the ProSavageDDR is not pushing so much FPS (the demo is using lots of polygons, and lots of textures at other time, pushing the fill-rate to the limit of the chip), the quality is the very best. Everything looks clear and sharp, a very enjoyable graphics experience. And for the onest that are having doubts, yes, the Nforce was set with max Aniso, sharp textures... Still it can't beat, in quality, the ProSavage DDR, who didn't even had Aniso capability.
