nekrosoft13 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 My current work on Doom is designed around what was made possible on the original GeForce, and reaches an optimal implementation on NVIDIA's next-generation GPU. My next generation of work will be designed around what is made possible on NVIDIA's next-generation GPU. " Source: nvidia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xWeston Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Then why did they use an ATI card for the demo? Nvidia didnt have a card out that would run it fast enough at the time. Otherwise im sure it would've been nvidia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33T P3N1S Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 they used the ati card for the demo for its TruForm technology, same reason why Red Storm choose it for Raven Shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted November 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 18, 2002 Just for the guy that asked about being able to see John Carmacks .plan file, you might be interested to know that Windows XP (possibly 2000 as well) comes with a port of the UNIX finger command.. to see Carmacks .plan, you can just go to a DOS prompt and type : finger johnc@idsoftware.com :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise im sure it would've been nvidia. After reading his .plan @ finger johnc@idsoftware.com I have to agree with you. He definatly knew about the NV30 and how insane it is (insane meaning sweet ass sweet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99 to Life Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 they used the ati card for the demo for its TruForm technology, same reason why Red Storm choose it for Raven Shield Umm....no. Doom III will not have Truform because the shadows are already precaculated and using Truform would screw it all up. Check out the .plan update.
