9600Pro & Dawn Demo problem...
Hi All!
Just went to try out the Dawn Demo, with my new ATI 9600Pro 128Mb DDR card... I've downloaded the wrapper (I tried several variants)... I plonk the opengl32.dll file in the /bin directory of the demo... Run the demo - and I get: "This program requires an NVIDIA GeForceFX-class GPU or better to run. Unsupported features: NV_point_sprite" Is it just my card? Are there any tips to getting it working? Everything else runs nicely - all the ATI demos, the Code Creatures demo... Cheers, Richard |

To many, I'm known as a String... |

I thought I'd replied to this, but it isn't here... It doesn't work with CAT 3.7, but if you stick the OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll) from 3.6 into the bin directory you should be ok.

Nope tried that did not work with the 3.7 drivers, needed a full reinstall of 3.5 drivers, for some reason. On Mon, 29 Sep 2003 22:49:53 +0100, "Ben Pope" wrote: Richard wrote: Hi All!
