i just found out a voodoo3 can support anistrophic filtering...

[gokuss4]

and its greyed out in jabo's d3d plug-in :(. anyone know if there is some kind of tweak to get that workin? i never knew a v3 has anistrophic filtering!

[Reznor007]

It doesn't. That option is always there, and only available if the driver supports it.

[gokuss4]

umm... voodoo3 supports anistrophic filtering -_- i guess jabo never knew that about voodoo3's so he kept it greyed out for voodoo3 cards -_-

[Smiff]

jabo doesnt have a database of cards & features dumbass, a particular option is greyed because either the card cant do it, or the drivers report the card cant do it. In this case, the card can't do it. Who says it can? I found this:

"Anisotropic filtering and full scene anti-aliasing have been removed from the spec sheet by 3Dfx. "

you can probably find some links that say it does

[Smiff]

ah this pretty much nails it:



8-tap anisotropic filtering was one of the features on the original list of specifications but was dropped by 3Dfx. Not that anistropic filtering is all that important- it's main use is for depicting strands of hair, for example. It's a method that looks great but in practice hits the performance way too hard (something that 3Dfx is philosophically against, rather adamantly so). Another feature that was taken off the original spec sheet is full scene polygonal anti-aliasing. As great as it looks (in terms of smoothing out those jaggy edges), 3Dfx felt the performance hit was, again, too great. Other than that, the 3D core is very capable, much the same as the Voodoo Banshee in terms of the image you get. Of course with its dual TMU architecture, the Voodoo3s images fly at similar speeds to a Voodoo2 SLI rig.

Well considering that I already told you it doesn't, you kept coming back asking for it :)

[Ogy]

[Smiff]

I expect the V5 can do it, why is your control greyed too?

[Ogy]

yes

[Smiff]

no amazingly it doesnt seem to do anisotropic:

try to use 21.83 detonator drivers instead of 23.11 since that version has a lot of bugs it in or you can try getting the detonator drivers 27.20, or 27.30 for it.

[EdgeBlade]

There are even newer drivers out already :cool:

[Doomulation]

I think I had 21.83 or something. I scraped the 23.11 drivers I think. I will check that and try to get the newest drivers (27.20).
I think that was for XP...

[EdgeBlade]

They have Detonator 27.42, and a recently released 27.23??
