ProSavage DDR 's 1.1 opengl
Hi,
am using ProSavage DDR integrated card with VIA chipset on a MSI V motherboard. Discovered it only has 1.1 opengl. went on to download the latest driver from s3 website. installed it. and then it turns out it is only 1.1 opengl also. Any advise on getting 1.4 opengl? thanks |

OpenGL performance is appaling, DirectX is only marginally better. hamman |

The request was for a runtime driver.

Could you point to comp.graphics.api.opengl's charter? Nope. I'm not saying no, I won't. I'm saying no, I can't. I don't even know if there is one. I didn't say it was necessarily off topic there, but the majority of the discussions are on how to program with OpenGL, differences in the versions of the specification and discussions on the specs and features themslves of the API versions -- and the occasional flame war on D3D vs OpenGL. Hardware discussions are often ignored or are referred. No official rules as far as I know. There's a faq, but it mostly deals with programming issues that might come up about how to use certain functions in OpenGL, nothing about what may or may not be posted. That and the fact that the name of the group has API in it kind of suggests that it's a programming group. It just seemed counter productive to send the guy there because he's not likely to find what he's looking for there. |

Got the answer from comp.graphics.api.opengl
the card is too old for supporting opengl 1.4 Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain ???? wrote: Hi, am using ProSavage DDR integrated card with VIA chipset on a MSI V motherboard.

I could still play Counter Strike: condition zero on it.
but the performance of the card under Need for speed 7 is bad compared to my aging Geforce 2 MX I wouldnt bother. That card sucks, i should know, i was stupid enough to buy a laptop with one in. OpenGL performance is appaling, DirectX is only marginally better. hamman |

Buy a newer video card.
Built in S3/Via graphics don't even have a built-in T&L graphics engine. First gen GeForce256 cards had hardware T&L , so don't expect much from unichrome and the likes.
