Hais Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) sweet, will be nice to break free from 1024x768 EDIT: maybe not, after 1024x768 it takes a huge jump to 1280x960 :( Edited September 2, 2006 by haisdeaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medafor Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 So does this version support OPENGL or are they just trying to copy Nvidia by releasing a special RC1 driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.MULLA Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 please someone try opengl please.... im stil getting RC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nope, No opengl support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medafor Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nope, No opengl support i guess we have to wait for the 3rd party opengl application for vista to come out. anyone know of release date for the opengl vista app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 i guess we have to wait for the 3rd party opengl application for vista to come out. anyone know of release date for the opengl vista app?

azz0r_wugg Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Im sure I read somewhere that openGL conflicts with how Vista works so it will never be in. some bits and pieces I found of google OpenGL can go through one of three paths in Windows Vista depending on how your computer is configured. MSOGL - this is an implementation of OpenGL 1.4 that uses Direct3D under the covers to hardware accellerate the application. Legacy ICD's - These are the ICD's that are available today for use on Windows XP. These will continue to work on Windows Vista, but will disable the DWM when they are loaded in to the process of the application that's using OpenGL. The reason for this is that Legacy ICD's operate directly on the GPU without going through Windows at all, and we have no way of redirecting application's output in a stable, predictable manner. Windows Vista ICD's - this is a new path for 3rd party ICD's introduced for Windows Vista that will work in a way that is compatible with desktop composition. Essentially allowing direct access to the GPU for hardware accellaration, but then having the final surface that appears to be the front buffer to the application actually be a shared surface that gets composed by the DWM source Basically, OpenGL on Vista is indeed 'no problem' once the IHVs get their Vista ICDs into effect and working. I suspect both NV and ATI will make this a high priority. The important point is the bit in bold, this means that OpenGL and the Aeroglass window manager will work nicely side by side, meaning nice alpha blended windows and that all the scare mongering on the OpenGL website by various users is indeed FUD. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=25215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCheese Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Like the previous beta 2 drivers, these are also rather terrible. If I select anymore than 2X AA in world of warcraft, half the screen doesn't get rendered. The same error occures in HL2 irreguardless of AA/AF settings.

theyarecomingforyou Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Well at this rate we're not going to have decent drivers by launch, which is a pain. I wish they'd get their act together (ATi, nVidia, Microsoft... whoever is responsible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCheese Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've reverted to the built in ones now. Its interesting that these play all my games with no problems and aren't that slow either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play Counter-Strike 1.6? I can only run it under 1280 x 1024 with D3D 16-Bit on a ATI Radeon X300SE. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexcyn Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Actually the built in drivers work very well. I'm able to play any games (except OpenGL) at whatever detail settings I want. These new RC1 drivers are actually slower than the built in ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
