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?

There is no warp3d driver for radeons except under os4. The voodoo w3d driver was comissionfed and funded by elbox, but since amiga is considered obsolete it has been stated os4 developments will not be backported to it. Not for free at least.

Matt, look at his sig. He has an 030 setup. You are not telling him to buy ppc to play a game?

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 :)

Lets hope gunnars fpga accel is available soon for all amiga models;-)

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?

Whats the use of the better card when there is no propper drivers to take advantage of it? Voodoo is good enough for good 2d high res workbench and apps. 64mb on accel should be enough for most tasks. Radeon ram is very slow for system memory anyway.
