Probably because Truform is for ATI cards, not nVidias.

Isn't trueform an ATI feature?

Hmm. If one gets a good FX5200, such as the Prolink model
VTV-5200-128AD, the card is as good as the GF3 Ti200, if not a little
better. While the performance is not upto modern videocard's speed, I
find my un-overclocked GF3 Ti200 still has the power to push anything
out there.
By the time the DX9 games start coming out, the GF3, and
FX5200 problably willl be reduced to 800x600 with reduced detail, but
for now, if you still use a GF MX card, or something in that league,
an FX5200 with 128bit bus is a nice, cheap upgrade. Truform is an ATI
feature, and that's why it doesn't work on his FX5200. It wouldn't
work on a FX5900 Ultra either.

Hmm i'm not quet shure about the resolution older card like your ti 200
will have better performence over the fx5200 with the dx8.1 but with
dx9.0a ad b it will be push away. the fx are buil for the direct x feature
it andle the directx 8.1 but it is not specilyse in it. so for the future
it will be a good card even at 1024X688X32-16 it just that i wiln not get
over 40-50 fps in ut2003 or 15-30 in gp4 as i dont real play game each day
the card fit for me.

For the 400mghz ramdac, i really wanted that cause it was a part of my
reference choice over ati card.

Have never seen "Trueform" apply to a non-ATI card.

Is there any possibility that gf card can support those driver by ati.
maybe by mistake i did install them. and remove some after...

anyway maybe again, it was an error from rtcwf

Larry Roberts July 30th 03 06:22 PM

Maybe the game was fooled by something left over from the ATI
drivers, but I don't see how it could have actually applied Trueform
to the Nvidia card as it's not hardware supported. It more than likly
ran as it does without the trueform option enabled.
