So...let me see if I get this right...
If you buy an X5000, you get the Enhancer package which contains Warp 3D Nova drivers, and the OS4.1 CD should have Warp 3D drivers for older cards like the Radeon 9200, but if you want Warp 3D drivers for later cards (like those that COME with X5000 systems) you need to buy a separate driver package (on top of the $1800 or so you lay out for the X5000)?

Doesn't put me off as I'm not buying an X5000 just to run OS4, but frankly for many of you that straight out stinks.

So, basically, what we are saying here is that out of the box, the X5000 is not Warp 3D compatible (without a severe video card downgrade OR an additional software purchase).

Just another bit of 'genuine' Amiga weirdness.
It's not weird! It's the life of third party products.

When you buy a radeon card for your pc build, you get drivers from that maker.
They don't support Amiga...

We're very lucky, because a very good Amiga programmer writes a warp 3d driver.
It's great he sells it so cheap.

Support guys like him or one day we will not be able to use third party products.

I know I wanted to use Blender, so I needed that driver. I bought it on Aeon AmiStore.
Blender worked, I like it. It was worth buying the driver.

The Amiga market is not the pc market (haven't we all learned by now?)

What?

I have installed and am running both! (BTW, I have Enhancer 1.2)

I learned from Hans de Ruiter! (author of warp3d nova) See what he says. and this is what he told me when I couldn't get Blender to run.

"Do you also have the W3D_SI Warp3D driver? MiniGL uses Warp3D, not Warp3D Nova, and there's no compatibility layer."

regards,
Hans

Nice!

I may give this a try too!

Do you think this could fix my game issue?

-Slygon
Short answer, Yes!

More info...

Do have a warp3D compatible card or Warp3D_SI, if not you must set it to software render?

As for the graphics card, I have the Radeon R9 270X Toxic Edition.... so it should work.....


I am using a r7 250x. I haven't tested the r9 270x....so
