Actually is is known that ATI is in the progress of redoing the Opengl
Dirvers. Betatesters have said this and also people on the Catalyst team.


So what are you saying, Doom3 etc. is about to suddenly run great on ATI
hardware? So the benchmarks run by ID software mean nothing??
LOL! If ATI knew how to fix the problem, they would have done so
long ago. To think otherwise is to set yourself up for a big
dissappointment.

uh, no, you have proff that you couldn't do it, either because of an unlucky
card or alack of knowledge.

Yes the x800 pro can be hacked
and then have its bios flashed to be a x800xt, but it wont work on every
card.


Believe what you want, I have proof that the hack doesn't work.

No, you are going by "some guy said". I actually did the mod,
you didn't. I have hands-on experience, you have nothing. Therefore,
by definition,
I'm right and you're wrong.

"Jeff, you're wrong because I say you are wrong, and for no other reason".

As long as you keep commenting from a position of
"I have no experience in this matter" and have absolutely
NO knowledge, and can only parrot what others have said,
I will continue to correct you.

So stop falsely accusing me of being a screwup, or don't and
this thread will last forever.

Yes because it only works on, VIVO equiped cards.
I thought that was common knowledge by now?



What do you mean, VIVO equiped cards? All x800pros are the same,
right?

The Pro's don't have the Video In

So, since the pro's don't have the video in, and the mod works
only on cards with video in, the mod doesn't work on pro's which is
exactly what I proved with my experiment. Thanks for clearing that up.

The V5's FSAA methods were employed in the GF3 and higher cards. GF3's 2x
FSAA uses rotated-grid multi-sampling just like the V5, while 4x FSAA uses
ordered-grid.

Do you have an AthlonXP/64 or Pentium4? Did the P4's vastly superior Quake
III engine scores play a part in your decision?

If I wasn't already on board the ATI bus I might well have been swayed by
the Nvidia benchmarks, but I also haven't forgiven them for buying 3dfx
and not using their vastly superior FSAA methods (slow or not). The V5
still has a soft spot in my heart... just next to the empty place in my
wallet ;-)
