something i don't understand

"Minimum System Requirements: GeForce 8-Series, Windows Vista, ForceWare Drivers 100.64 or higher, 512MB system memory, 256MB video memory"

nobody put's a 8800 close to 512ram,and there are no 8800 cards with 256 video ram

AnnCore · Feb 15, 2007

So does anyone want to try this demo without the required hardware? Wonder what might happen?

I got an ATI x1950 Pro agp (latest drivers) with an AMD x2 4200 and 1 Gig of memory.

It looks great. Is this real DX10?? If that is real 4.0 shaders, cant wait until games utilizing it come out.

Get us a screenshot @ least, lol... thanks!

* I know: Screenshots are a POOR excuse for 'the real thing', but... next best thing to being there & all that are screenshots, @ least imo!

(Ah, living "vicariously" sux... I want an 8800, but imo, they're still FAR too pricey... I 'shot the wad' on the rig in my sig, & that's enough for a few years! Still... it's tempting, because I know the 8800 top-end cards blow AWAY my card even!)

APK

P.S.=> LOL, per your signature? "YOU DON'T KNOW, WHAT IT'S LIKE...", one of my fav tunes from my 'misguided youth'... apk

C.Ash · Feb 15, 2007

Looks like SM4.0 in action.

Is it really that impressive?

Alec§taar · Feb 15, 2007

Aha!

I didn't see the photos in the first post, because I set Opera to use ONLY CACHED PICTURES, & first time in a thread on that setting, means NO pictures @ all (if not already previously viewed, as I am sure you all know, lol).

Anyhow - WILD!

* DirectX 10 really DOES appear to be a 'step-up & in the right direction' imo @ least... those shots look nearly "photo-realistic"...

I hope that the demo looks better than those screen shots.
They look like something from DX8 rather than DX10!! :wtf:

Leon2ky · Feb 15, 2007

I'll load up fraps and post pictures once I get it going.

QFT :S...

magibeg · Feb 16, 2007

Looks pretty nice to me.... very nicely textured. I'm sure they could come up with something much more complex than that though.

DaMulta · Feb 16, 2007

Someone upload a video at file host and link it.

My thoughts exactly.

Leon2ky · Feb 16, 2007

This demo is amazing. But I can't get any screen shots! I've tried Fraps, Snapit, and Hypersnap and I can't get a screen shot without doing the crappy old Print Screen -___-.

Edit: I finally got 5 decent ones, these are all close ups (in the demo) but they show off perfectly what this demo was meant to show:

randomperson21 · Feb 16, 2007
