DDS compression support poll
on: December 06, 2003, 06:53:44 am
Now that both OGL and D3D both support compressed DDS textures I want to see how many video cards can take advantage of it. The benifits of DDS images and textures are that they take up less space on disk and more importantly in video memory. To find out if your card supports any of the 5 formats run the new version of the launcher (in my sig) and go to the DX8 section and press the 'Test DXT' button. Its probably safe to assume if your card supports a format in DX8 it will in OGL as well. OGL fs2_open supports formats 1,3 and 5, DX8 fs2_open supports all 5.

Please post your results in this poll, it would be useful if people with minimum or no support post their card details so we get an idea of the cutoff threshold.

GF2 MX (pre200/400) 32MB AGP, all supported under D3D, though I didn't try under OpenGL, since I don't plan on using that mode anyway.

Later!

My Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller thingy supports all five.

GF2 Ti - supports it all.
I could beg my sister to test it on her TNT2 - but that'll take a while.
