Warp3D and a Radeon 9250 ?

[carvedeye]

Hi all i have just installed Payback Demo and im trying to run it in hardware mode but when i run setup i only get the software renderer option and the Hardware renderer is greyed out, so would i need to install warp3d in order to use the radeon card?

[carvedeye]

So is there a way to get it to run using the radeon?

[carvedeye]

No not unless you install a PPC card and install AOS4.

But in the specs it says it can run under os3x with rtg and a minimum of an 020?

[carvedeye]

Yes, but there is no Warp3D driver for Radeon under 3.x/68k

The solution is either a Voodoo card or a PPC card, which are way overpriced.

Oh well

Are there any RTG games that can run on a radeon card ?

[carvedeye]

Well i managed to run in 640 x 480 with the radeon and by heck its slow, once i have got xmas out the way i will be saving my pennies for a new accelerator hopefully atleast an 060

I own both the cards but i have more ram on the Radeon which is 128mb im only using 31mb of the card and the rest im using as fast ram but the voodoo card i have only has 16mb so i really dont want to have to go back to using that gfx card

Is it possible to have both the radeon and the voodoo in the same sytem?

My Voodoo 4 performs better with deeper and higher resolution screens but my Voodoo 3 with SGRAM is faster in memory and for some 2D operations. The extra memory is nice but the extra cost is not unless finding a bargain. The Voodoo 4 doesn't need an extra power supply like the Voodoo 5 so it is more practical. The Elbox 2D drivers have problems with big endian modes on the Voodoo 4/5 and the latest voodoo.card and pci.library don't work at all. A Voodoo 3 3000 with SGRAM is competitive with the Voodoo 4/5 in a Mediator and is one of the fastest and best 2D/3D gfx solutions for any classic Amiga.



Yes, it's possible to have both the Voodoo and Radeon cards at the same time. It's been supported for awhile now by the Elbox drivers. All 128MB of the faster Radeon memory could be used for memory and DMA buffers (for fast ethernet) while the Voodoo 3 is completely used for 2D and 3D gfx. There isn't going to be a big difference in the 2D performance between the Radeon and Voodoo so you wouldn't be giving up much.

Thanks mate thats great
