If you can't top 85 in Need For Speed, then yes.

NFS 5: Porsche Unleashed was the best one.

Sounds like you need a DirectX 8.1 compliant graphics card.

Duh, I have a Voodoo3! Nothing works with it, Quake3 can barely use it.

I just tried the Black Hawk Down demo, worked hilariously bad. EVERYTHING was a solid brown, no shadows, no other color than brown. The menu was solid white, took a while to get into the game, which took about 8 minutes to load, and it runs at a wonderful 1-2fps.

GeForce IS DirectX compliant! Voodoo is OpenGL.

Yeah, but it's not a DirectX 8.1 compliant card. No pixel/vertex shader.

by **James S** » Feb 8, 2003 @ 11:32pm

yes, but Geforce2 can still play current games atleast. But the point was that he needed a DX8 compliant card, not whether something or other is DX8 compliant. Warren, Just go buy a Radeon 9500np. It's $160 and it can be unlocked to run as fast as a 9700, and then overclocked to a 9700 Pro. So you get a $400 card for $160.

Well, my point is that a DX 8 compliant card isn't needed.

by **James S** » Feb 8, 2003 @ 11:59pm

But what's the point of not getting a DX8 card when DX9 is already out and games designed to use 9 are out, too?

by **damian** » Feb 9, 2003 @ 12:01am

I never said that's worthwhile... refer to my previous post.

by **sponge** » Feb 9, 2003 @ 1:38am

What released games actually use DX9's features?
