ok, i've got an 5900. its ok, it runs far cry well (with texture loading pauses), it runs doom 3 well (in high), hl2? well i'm so impressed that it runs it (so far) at 1280x1024.
Anyway, although i've been missing the water eye candy those pesky dx9 "complient" ati guys have been experiencing. Tonight, i downloaded forceware 7120.
Horah, as if by magic, the video menu screen in HL2 says "DirectX 9".
So, i go back to the Route Kanal level. The sweet reflect all is now working! horah! and it runs really well, around 40 fps or so, enough to play throught the level again. I'd just got through ravenholm, now i'm going back from route kanal to see what i've missed.
I must admit that all i have missed running dx8.1 shaders is the water effects, but is it me, or under dx9, does everything have this slightly more overbright intensity about it? I feel it is just be revelling in running a year and a half old card seeing these features available to me at least - albeit on an ATI wired game....
So, no crashes, no frame rate issues, the sounds still stutter when loading textures (but hey, doom3 and far cry did "pause" when loading textures, its just their sound went out of sync for a moment!).
good results here.
