i'll try it out if someone guides me...
i have a 2900xt, have downloaded rivatuner 2.06 and the fire gl drivers....NOW what? any step by step instructions for a noob?
 
yes, I'm here too now

I seriously intend not to have a profile on every forum ever created on the internet, but anyway I looked around and this one looks like an interesing one, with people actually using computers for something useful, not just for playing games or, even worse, running benchmarks

(by the way, I saw some things some of you have done, and they are good!!)

yet it's being a bit of a cultural shock: I don't know how much a K is in euros or dollars, and I'm surprised by some things I see around here (there's a hell of inequity around here, with people buying cheap parts I had never heard about, and also people buying $600 gaming graphics cards to replace their 6 month old parts...)
 
I had the selection bugs with Maya and XSI initially, but apparently the recent updates have fixed it.

Yeah TE is a happening place :)

OT, but I gotta do this :P

1k=1000INR (Indian Rupees)

1.00 USD=39.6200 INR
 
does the bug exist in 3dsmax 2008 also?

I'm just playing around with maya ple; I find it more fun and more rewarding than killing virtual aliens

yes, it surely is fun when playing around with maya or max as the possibilities are endless, but its also fun to kill aliens, or beat your friend in a game of pro evo soccer.

I do my killing and beating of friends in a real 3D environment and with infinitely better controls... I mean, I play airsoft :ohyeah:
 
I have tried the XP64 FireGL mod.

Its simple and it works.

Ran both Max and Maya. The card carries heavy polys exceptionally well, except the fact that the ridiculous poly selection bug is still present with Maya.

Oh and rejoice guys coz Max does not seem to have that issue. Max runs fine. If any of you have any scene that you want me to check, just let me know.
 
Didn't work with 8.44 :( Now trying with 8.391.

BTW, mnemonics quoted 7k+ for the sapphire 2600pro, so I got the GeCube for 4.8K

2600pro 256mb sapphire is available for 4050 @ lamington btw.

do post some results.
 
^^I got the 512mb version.

What benchmarks do I run?? It shows firegl in display properties, but I can't notice any great perf increase. And ain't I supposed to get some application specific settings in the control panel, which I can set for 3DS Max?

i think vij or normal can help u out with all those. i myself have never used a firegl so dont know about those settings.
