New Mesa/Nouveau brings support for Fermi cards to AROS!

[XDelusion]

When are MorphOS and/or OS4 devs going to port/integrate this excellent work?

When is MorphOS going to play catch up with an OS that is light years behind it?


Ha ha ha! I'm not bashing AROS, but that is a question that just boggles my mind!!!

Us MorphOS users have been enjoying the fruits of OpenGL and the like for quite some time now. I have NO complaints on that end for the most part. None the less, improvements in that department (amongst others) are right around the corner!

I guess if you want a free Amiga future, then you just have to wait for a pleasant experience, but those with a spare $100 have been enjoying such things for a long time.

Oh, that's what you are going on about.

Well graphic cards are pocket change anyhow, and besides, I don't think any of us MorphOS users are having any issues with our ATI cards. It's not any of us are trying to play Half-Life 2 or anything.

The news article is about nVidia drivers, what else would I be talking about?

I was just thinking not so much about NVIDIA, but more so in relation to support for cards with 3D Acceleration in general.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing.  <#amigalikeOS> could support everything from current cards back and it doesn't matter.

Dunno what you just said, but I agree, the EU is bad Mkay!!!

Saying you support XYZ new graphic card features is pointless as there's nothing for the various Amiga and Amiga-like OSes that support them.  It's all well and good to have the proverbial "Crysis-Capable Computer" built that runs AROS, but Crysis - or games capable of pushing the hardware like it - simply don't exist for the OS.

There are a few ports of some games that use OGL and MiniGL features, and that's about it.  No AC3, no Crysis 2, nada.  

It seems to me that a push to get support from one of the larger software companies would be a bigger deal.

Very true, but DOOM III is about to be opened sourced and I'm sure others games that take advantage of higher end graphics cards are not far behind, so having such drivers will be a major boon in that respect.

Also, the reason many of the Amiga OS variants do not have many 3D accelerated games and what not is because we have not all had access to 3D acceleration for a long time. No 3D support, no 3D port. Add 3D support, expect more 3D ports.

Ha ha ha...

I should really watch what I say and how I say it. I didn't mean to turn this into a MorphOS vs Aros debate.

I have issues, have not been able to easily obtain working low profile card for my pegasos, it's a hit and miss archeology game on ebay. Kinda given up on the whole thing.

Did you check for help on MorphOS Zone?
