TRAOD questions

[jim1976]

Can someone help on the "graphics setup" for the game? (9800pro/128mb)

1. Why can't I enable the multisampling? (Should I disable somethin first in order to do it?)
2. Render type is better on "fixed function" or "shader" hardware?
3. On format which is better Compressed DXT1,DXT3 or DXT5?
4. Color depth is better on d24s8 OR d24x8?

PS :Not exactly the guru of graphics 😀
Thankz

Ok for your questions:

1 - I think multisampling should be turned on (guessing here)
2. "Shader" hardware should be chosen. That is DX9 and DX8 hardware. Fixed Function is for DX7 cards (ie GeForce2).
3. I think DXT3 is the best, but I have no idea. Maybe it describes which is best in the readme/manual..?
4. no idea there

1. It makes perfect sense to be turned on. I just asked it cauz every time i tried to use it and test it through setup it said that there was an error.Anyway I run it with "6xmultisampling" on, to see what will happen and the game runs ok.(Still I don't know if it enabled it though)
2. Makes perfect sense
3. No manual feedback.I'll google it to see what I'l find...
4. See three...

Bump for any ideas???
