Do ShineMaps work with Radeon 9200 se Sapphire?
on: July 14, 2004, 11:20:18 am
The topic says it all, really.  I've always believed that the topic of a question post should be as helpfull as possible. so... "Do Shinemaps work with Radeon 9200se Sapphire?"  Or maybe "Does the 9200se Sapphire support shinemaps?"
I wanna know cuz it's the cheapest Radeon card I could find while still being somewhat decent.  If all else fails, though, I suppose I could go with the Gforce4 MX on Turns' suggestion.

Well, a 9600 is generally priced about the same, and I suggest taking that one if possible, but a 9200 should. A 7000 is suppossed to as well, but there are some major driver issues with Radeons. Anything over 4.4 breaks shinemapping.

No.  It doesn't. I had one for 1 week. It didn't shine. Don't get it.

The 9200 sucks. It's slower than the 9100.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Same here... I can run every feature, albeit in 640x480 32Bit, with only 320 Mb of ram, on a p3, with a gf2 mx, and I'm hitting 60Fps... It'd go higher if w2k didn't cap it there...

I'm on w2k. To get higher frame rates, raise your refresh rate on the monitor. I get 75.

Is that the control panel, or Admin panel? Cause I never noticed it before in the control panel...


*found it...*


My monitor only supports up to 85, and that screws up all the resolutions... (screen loks smaller) and when i tried for 75, everything was turned 90 degrees to the left... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

but wasn't there a remove framecap thing somewhere?

turn off vsync. But that's kinda deceptive, and possibly dangerous... methinks.
