You don't notice something conspicuously "missing" from Dawn's attire?

Oh... I thought he was talking about the quality of it or somethin...

You can have one now if you download the Dawn Demo =)

Can't wait for my FX5900 to come next week! LOL

 

[hans007]

hmmm.... this thread just reminded me.


i ran dawn and dusk on my 5600 and well dusk ran like crap i'd have to say.



pulled out a spare 5900 and it still ran pretty slow. but man that is an impressive demo

sierra needs to remake leasure suit larry with updated graphics

tried it long time go, worked, was fast, detail was lacking compared to the nvidia cards because the wrapper didnt do all the stuff it was supposed to

take a look at ati tech demos, like the monkey one, thats amazing, screw dawn gimme da monkey

Where can you get the ATI tech demo (Monkey). I looked on ATI's website and no luck.

 

[MatthewF01]

is there an 'nvidia' wrapper that will allow the 'patched' (or unpatched depending on who youre asking ) dawn demo to be run on an actual nVidia card?

Is the whole deal with renaming the executable to quake3.exe a feature of the ATi wrapper, or will that work with standard nVidia exe as well?

If i buy a 5900U, I want to be able to do that!


Despite how much I love nVidia and always have, I am seriously considering ATi as a formidable opponent in the current gen of graphics accelerators.

I will wait until Doom3 then make my final decision most likely. My Ti4200 (@320/590) could probably support HL2 pretty decently, yes? Obviously without the advantages of DX9...

 

[hans007]

hopefully the next nvidia card has more temp registers. shouldnt be that hard to do. its one of the major things the slows down the fx in dx9. not enough registers so it has to swap register memory a lot.

How do you remove the Nvidia logo and replace it if your running the dawn demo on a ATI card?

Thanks again. What's up with the oily skin option? I'm going to check out the Chimp demo (FUR) and the lava screen saver's next from ATI.

 

[1ManArmY]

do I throw that logo in the bin folder also or is there another location for it.:beer:

I particularly enjoyed the Quake3 option

Here is a link to the ATI demos.

 

[sharkeeper]

You wanna see slow? Run the Last Chance Gas demo. It gets quite choppy with a 5900U at 550/1000! They say the demo requires 512MB RAM and a 5900U to run. LOL

Cheers!

 

[1ManArmY]

Thanks for the ATI demos link, I will download once I get home.

 

[1ManArmY]

I placed the ATI logo in the bin folder and it only appears during the loading of the program. Once the Dawn program is running the NVIDIA logo is still there.

Any suggestions?

Those look cool and all... but the monkey just isn't life like... he moves extremely slow, the animation of him opening his mouth looks like characters in Half Life talking. The lava one is cool... but the solid rocks don't look very unique... looks like just the exact same texture tiled all over the entire area... kinda blah if you ask me. DEFINATELY not indicative of the 9800 Pro's capabilities.

*EDIT* The 9700 Pro demos are MUCH more impressive.

The .dds file does not go in the BIN folder. Look at the folder where all the other .dds and .tga files are. It goes in there.

 

[1ManArmY]

I put the demosN.bmp in the bin folder and moved the nv_badge.dds to the UserInterface folder and the Nvidia logo is still there on the bottom right corner. The ATI logo only shows up when dawn is loading.

Thanks again brian for our prompt responses.

 

[Brian48]

I'll check to see where I have those files installed when I get home tonight.

 

[1ManArmY]

That will work.

Peace
