do you really think i'd make a statement like that without it being factual? I have a Radeon 9000 PRO II  much more advanced than regular 9000. I had an 8500 in there I took out and put this in.. this card is hard to come by. I had a kick ass 8500 with a zalman heatsink (passive) i sold it to kiero or someone a while back.

Its weird that version i had back then the intro played fine and so did the installer.. maybe its your machine? What ram do you have?

ATI's RADEON 9000 suffers from a case of horrible timing. On the same day that ATI announced the revolutionary, cutting edge, drool-inducing Radeon 9700, they also told the world about the Radeon 9000, a retooled version of their Radeon 8500 chip aimed at mainstream desktops. Here you had the Radeon 9000's slightly revised current-generation GPU competing for attention with the Radeon 9700's brand-new, next-generation, DirectX 9-compliant architecture. It wasn't even fair.


HUH!!!   What you say

My S3 Virge beats anything you guys got! 2Mb of Video RAM baby! Top that!!!

And ya, Piru, get off your game box and get back to work. No slacking here my friend! We're supposed to enjoy the fruits of your labor, not you!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a first person shooter has been released for MorphOS. To complete the installation, you must have an original release of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The original Return to Castle Wolfenstein release, as well as the Special Edition and Platinum Edition releases of Return to Castle Wolfenstein are supported by the installer.

Source code is available as well.

A good effort to be sure.

But I stopped playing that game in 2005. 6 years ago.
I think the castle burnt down and sank into the swamp 2 years ago.

@realize

R9000 is twice slower than R8500 in some parts of the rendering with games that use multitexturing. It's just an faster R7500. Core and memory are just 25Mhz faster than R8500 but R9000 core is too weak, no matter you raise core&memory frequenzy, it will be slower. In some situations even the slower 8500LE will be faster. Perform your tests with 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 and you'll see R8500 is faster.

For the last time I dont have a regular 9000 this is my board: Radeon 9000 Pro 2 II GV-R9000 128bit

See if you can get data on that and make a comparison. Apparently, the board is quite rare. Even Bigfoot never heard of it.

@magnetic

your card runs at 300Mhz and 8500 runs at 275Mhz. It's like comparing a cache-less 300Mhz celeron with a 275Mhz PentiumII.

errr that is not an accurate comparison. way off

I'm telling you guys, S3 Virge is the future!!!

Oh joy, we have a 23 year old game to play on a system that is probably as ancient as the game. When you can play Far Cry on it give me a buzz, then you would only be about eleven years behind times.

smerf

Well, it's only a 9 and a half year old game but the source code was only released less than a year ago so it couldn't have been ported before then.

I'm telling you guys, S3 Virge is the future!!!

The prices I see CV64/3D cards going for on eBay, looks like you're not the only one who thinks so

Now there's a statement Einstein could have written a theory about.
