Is it possible to run the nVidia Dawn demo on a ATI card?

[BoomAM]

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to run the nVidia Dawn demo on a ATI card.
Cos the Matrox Reef demo was only ment to run on a Matrox card, but with the help of another program, it`d run on any card.
So there`s gotta be someway to run it on something other than a FX. Right?

I don't think that the dawn demo will work.
I believe that it uses specific Nvidia instruction sets that the other cards do not have.
The Matrox demo just had a card check on it so it could be cracked.

Yep

It won't work on radeons

Well, even though the Dawn demo was supposed to only be able to be run on the GeforceFX, there is an emulator that you can use to run the Demo on just about any Nvidia card. One guy even ran the Dawn demo on his MX440! It was minutes per frame, but it could be done. If it can be run on such slow cards it should be possible for somebody to write the same for ATI cards. It's just a matter of how badly somebody with programming skill wants to be able to see these demos run on his Radeon.

The Nvidia emulator is called the Detonator 40 NV30 Emulation tool.

It can be ran on radeon R3X0, just check rage3d.com and you'll see

I just tried it, check out what happened when I enabled 6x aa and 16x af @ 1600x1200

Heh, that is a funny picture. I may have nightmares tonight.

The teeth look good. lol.
For some reason, if i enable FSAA at anything over 4x, i get corruption, not like the corruption above, but big blocks of diagonal lines all over the screen. Looks fine at any other setting.

I downloaded the dawn demo from nvidia and ran it on my Radeon 9500 card that I've modded to 9700/9800. It runs really well, however I am not as blown away by it as some of you are. I though the Radeon 9800 chimp demo was far more impressive.

I agree with coomarlin. the chimp demo with dawn girl in 3dmark03.exe could be awesome.
