digl Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 I guess all of you who understand about 3d cards know about Trueform I read an article about it some time ago, before the 8500 was released I think Now I remembered it, and Its really amazing I think the game needs to be optimized for trueform for it to work, but when It is activated, Is it too resoure consuming? can the card stand it or is it like using FSAA in the first cards that had the option? I was looking at JO shots in LEC page, and the last one, the ST rifle close up make me wish I had a Radeon 8500 to play everything with trueform So, 3D cards experts, could you please post your opinions on this?

digl Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 at 512x384x16 he gets a fps of somewhere between 8 and 15 for JK That reminds me when I first played JK, I had a 486... In some previews Iv read truform should work on any game But I read that there is a patch for serious sam to enable it. So I dont know If its necessary a patch or you can run any game with truform According to ATI It shouldnt reduce performance at all Do current ATI drivers support this or not yet? If they do Im sure someone here must have a Radeon 8500 Does this truform thing really work as expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Howell Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 i liked SS ok, its just a little Doom-ish for my tastes. I like strategy. 'sides, im not gonna devote 1/2 gb to a game my 3d card barely handles. for teh first month i had to run in safe mode, then i got OpenGL working. still dislike the game, though. jh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
