Who makes your video card


(Brinkman) #1

im running an ATi All in Wonder 9800 pro

i’ve ran ET on both a nVidia (Geforce 4 4200) and ATi card… and i have to say ATi’s visuals are a lot better

that and the fact that the lame shadow flickering is now gone :clap:

i’m using a Nvidia card because it’s supporting
linux better than others but a lot of time ago i
read on linuxgames.com that XGI
(http://www.xgitech.com) came with his native
driver for linux too. Has someone try these new
video cards with Enemy Territory (windows
too)?

(pk28) #6

Ati FireGl X2 because I run A high end 3d Animation Program


(pgh) #7

How do they perform pk28? FPS wise and Quality?

How about ‘other’ option for people who dont have ait of nvidia?

I use Connect3d ATI Radeon 9500PRO myself.

Use a 9800 pro 128MB in my games machine, and a ti4200 in my server (which still gets used as a second games machine through the TV when having LAN parties)

Although the 9800 pro kicks ass, ET is just as playable on the ti4200


(Ragnar_40k) #13

Here is my list:

1 GeForce 2
1 Cretive Labs Voodoo Banshee
1 S3 Virge
2 Voodoo 1 Addon Cards (no name)
2 ATI XPert
The prices I dont remeber.

All still used in various machines.

I don’t know how many points in 3Dmark2003 I get with my GeForce 2 and my Duron 700 :clap: :smiley:

Here some news that some might find more interesting:

The 9500 pro is better than the 9600 pro (8 pipe vs. 4, and only slightly slower memeory). Just like a geforce 3 is better than a geforce 4 MX, and the FX 5200 ultra is slower than the ti4200. Welcome to the wonderful world of marketingspeak.

Though slightly old, here http://www.dansdata.com/cardchoice.htm is disobfuscation of the of the various models.

Ah, ok, thanks for explaining.

I’m a true Linux/BSD user and i’m using the following card on my main system
9800XT ATI and it works perfectly, and for everyone who’s still thinking ATI has no /crappy driver support for linux you’re wrong, ofcourse NVIDIA’s is still better but ATI has improved alot, on my other system i’m using an NVIDIA card :wink: and XGI… nice try but NO… i do hope to hear of them in the future :wink:

nVidea unfortunatly, wich gave that entire “downgrade-your-drivers-cause-ET-willcrash-if-you-don’t” problem.
