GF3 & ATI 8500 - DX 8.1 ?

[Com807877]

Hi all,

I have been looking all over for this info but I have not been able to find it.

I am interested in knowing rather or not the Geforce3 and Radeon 8500 fully support DirectX 8.1. If not, which features do the card(s) not support? And are there any other quality features that are not propertary (i.e. Trueform, Hyperz, etc.) such as bump mapping, cube mapping, etc. that one of the cards does not support while the other does? (I'm aware they support bump mapping, of course. Just an example)

Thanks!

As far as I know, the Radeon 8500 fully supports version 8.1 (pending driver stability etc) but the GF3 chipset has limited DirectX 8.1 capabilities. I don't know which features exactly though,
