T&L with radeon 7000?

[zimu]

I have a radeon 7000 graphics card...

I just got microsoft's rallichampionships but i just realized that my card does not support t&l (hardware transform and lighting) and the game doenst' start without it.

can anyone help me figure out if there is some way to "work around" the problem?

Thanks

If you use Powerstrip you can emulate Hardware T&L. I know some have done it: I personally have never tried it.

Chuck it in the bin and get something more modern, the R7000 is rubbish.

Amen to that, i hate one of those pieces, a Geforce 2 Mx400 was fast when i got rid of that 7000.
plus, i wouldn't count on running that game at any sort of decent framerate with that card.

Put the latest Catalyst drivers on. IIRC, R7000 shipping drivers kept the T&L capability hidden although it was there; later drivers unveiled it. (I might be confusing this with another feature in the chip, but it's worth a try.)

zimu you'll never be able to play any games with that R7000, there's lots of cheap video cards around like the RADEON 9000 or GF4 MX440 which are miles better.

The Radeon 7000 is not supposed to have a hardware T&L at all but I have heard sketchy reports that it's only disabled at the software level and newer drivers have enabled it.

In any case this is not a gaming card; you can pick up a Radeon 9000 for around 80 bucks and it'll be much faster. I wouldn't even play GLQuake on a 7000.
