    Incompatibility with older games - Nvidia vs. ATI

    And your inability to read is simply too funny. I have attached screenshots with very detailed explanation as to what is happening. READ And just incase you still can't see it, here is the direct link to Aliens vs Predator on HD3870 Battlezone Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II BTW, Here is another...

    Before you go and buy HD3870 card you should read my problems first.

    Yep, Call of Duty 4 + (all of them) and Crysis do work fine. It looks like certain old DX games have this tearing problem. Funny, cause Thief 1 is the only old DX game that works on my HD3870. No problem, also there are some reports that 7.12 can cause problems with Doom 3, or any other game...

    Sure did, I also filed a complaint with there driver team. As soon as I hear something new I will let you all know. Just keep sending your complaints to the ATI Catalyst team. According to my investigation, apparently they DO read them. For right now, I do not recommend getting HD3870, that is...

    That is just terrible. It looks like AMD did nothing to remedy this situation either. Thief fans with AMD DX10 cards should contact AMD tech support and tell them to fix there drivers. We know that NV 169.XX made Timeslip's DDFIX worthless, (please correct me if this is not the accurate) does...

    @smithpd Some of the AvP Fans have switched from NIVIDA to HD2900 cards. I will e-mail them ASAP to see if they have any problems with Thief2 on XP or Vista, also I will try to fined out what other old games that are working or not working with AMD's DX10 hardware.

    That is absolute load of you know what.., you sure entitled to your opinion, but I tell you something else. Maybe you should read it, because I also have X1950XT card and games do work, no compromises or broken eggs. And because you did not read it I will post this info just for you. " Prior to...

    I will give you a simple example why such solution may not work for everyone. Gamer paid say $300 - $500 for a new video card only to discover that it made some of the games unplayable. So now you are tell me that he has to spend additional $200-$300 on older parts simply because that certain...

    One other thing that is worth talking about is adjustment called Alternate Pixel Center. Fortunately ATI has this powerful feature that allows older games to display text and texture properly, even when you force/enable AA in Catalyst Control Center. This important feature is missing in NVIDIA...

    Incompatibility with older games - Nvidia vs. ATI

    ScrewFace Can you please let me know what old games work and or do not work on your HD3870? The games that I'm interested are: Aliens vs. Predator I and II. BattleZone I and II. Thief I, II Drakan Order of the Flame. Crimson Skies X-Wing Games: X-Wing Alliance, Xwing vs. TieFigter...

    Incompatibility with older games - Nvidia vs. ATI

    What the hell are you talking about? Why should Game developers fix what NVIDIA broke with there crappy driver support? We already told you that OS has nothing to do with the Graphical problems. These games became broken not after installing Windows XP, Vista or hardware mod/upgrade, but after...

    Incompatibility with older games - Nvidia vs. ATI

    What a load of nonsense, if the older game is broken due to NVIDIA or ATI driver updated then it is none other then GPU maker who must provide the necessary fix. Why is it so difficult to grasp? How so? Prior to DirectX 10, DirectX was considered backward compatible, which means that newer...
