New X800XL, Open GL games dont work, please help
Went from an Ati9700Pro to the X800XL.
Uninstalled drivers, ran Driver cleaner, re started, installed Cat 5.6. Everythin perfect, all my other games which are direct X except for IL2 Forgotten Battles that run in Open GL. This one doesnt start unless I switch to Direct X. Any ideas please? I re installed the drivers twice, and everything was working good with these drivers and my old 9700 Pro -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/ATI-X8...pict57752.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

download Aquamark3 and see if it runs. Its an OpenGL bench utility. If it
runs then the problem is with the game not OGL. "motoadve" wrote in message news:7_291202_bacf296ef1f532f6185cd5334172c8cb@har dwareforumz.com... Went from an Ati9700Pro to the X800XL.

From their site: Welcome to the AquaMark Website! AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of a computer system. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004. |

Oh, well then run another OGL application. You get the point.
Sorry Bratboy, I thought Aquamark3 was OGL. I don't generally run benchmarks, I prefer games. "Bratboy" wrote in message . com... "fish" wrote in message ... download Aquamark3 and see if it runs.

Know what you mean. I keep some apps around for beta testing drivers but thats about it. Unfortunatly the only game, ogl wise, I have installed right now is a copy of D3+Expansion. Anyway sounds like the OP solved it, think they said was actually a game bug not the card drivers. |

(Doom3, Medal of Honor Allied Assault spring to mind) I play IL-2 in open GL with the 5.6 drivers and my card is a x800pro and tonight I set the aa to 6 and it still is running fine. So it can't be the game as is runs perfect on my machine. |
