Grez Minmatar Sybrite Inc.	Posted - 2007.08.17 17:16:00 - [1] Edited by: Grez on 17/08/2007 17:18:05 Since people are unsure as to what will be required of the next graphics engine. It doesn't matter about the suffix of the card, just the type of card you have (8800GTS & 8800GTX support the same types of technology). If I'm missing a card, reply, and I'll stick it in the right list, but from this you should be able to find out whereabouts your card sits. Explanation of what will work, and how much you can expect from each: Owners of DX9 only cards can expect to be able to run the new engine, but you will not benefit from the performance of Shader Mark 3 optimisations or some of the effects that come with it. Owners of DX9 and Shader Mark 3 cards can expect to be able to run the new engine and take advantage of all the optimisations in the DX9 engine, as well as all the effects. Owners of DX10 and Shader Mark 4 cards can expect to be able to run both the DX9 engine, and the DX10 engine, with all the effects and optimisations. NVIDIA: DX9: Geforce 5200 Geforce 5500 Geforce 5600 Geforce 5700 Geforce 5800 DX9 & Shader Model 3: Geforce 6200 Geforce 6600 Geforce 6800 Geforce 7200 Geforce 7600 Geforce 7800 Geforce 7900 Geforce 7950 DX10 & Shader Model 4: Geforce 8200 Geforce 8600 Geforce 8800 ATI: DX9: Radeon 9000 Radeon 9200 Radeon 9250 Radeon 9500 Radeon 9550 Radeon 9600 Radeon 9700 Radeon 9800 Radeon X300 Radeon X550 Radeon X600 Radeon X700 Radeon X800 Radeon X850 *DX9 & Shader Model 3:* Radeon X1050 Radeon X1300 Radeon X1550 Radeon X1600 Radeon X1650 Radeon X1800 Radeon X1900 Radeon X1950 DX10 & Shader Model 4: Radeon H2400 Radeon H2600 Radeon H2900 ---
Bomb Voyage	Posted - 2007.08.17 19:50:00 - [2] The Radeon 9000, 9200 and 9250 are not DX9 cards. They are DX8 cards using the old RV250/RV280 GPU.

Korran Minare Gallente Spaced Cowboys	Posted - 2007.11.26 21:58:00 - [4] what about the Nvidia Geforce 5900 Originally by: Korran Minare what would you put on space pizza anyway????
nomis ekoobmah Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2007.11.26 22:58:00 - [5] There are some issues with Win XP and the ATI HD2xxx seies cards. Linkage. They apparently work OK with Vista though. So if you aren't running Vista I would avoid them for the time being until the issues are sorted.

They apparently work OK with Vista though. So if you aren't running Vista I would avoid them for the time being until the issues are sorted. Most of the issues in the thread I started were fixed with updating to Catalyst 7.11.
Sujanra Acoma Minmatar The Graduates Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.12.04 16:24:00 - [7] My Geforce 7300 runs the graphics on the test server.
Zuko Droner	Posted - 2007.12.04 18:17:00 - [8] I was under the impression that DX9 cards without SM3 will not even start the premium content client.
Gamer Maximus	Posted - 2007.12.04 18:21:00 - [9] Best list i've seen so far. Nice work compiling this.
Alit Neroon	Posted - 2007.12.04 21:06:00 - [10] Originally by: Zuko Droner I was under the impression that DX9 cards without SM3 will not even start the premium content client. You know what? I`d guess you`re completely right on that one. AFAIK dx9 and sm3 are required to use the new engine. Please devs, hit us with your "wisdom"
MilitaryMind Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.12.06 01:18:00 - [11] Edited by: MilitaryMind on 06/12/2007 01:18:37 I have a all in wonder 9600xt, it has Direct 9.0 but smartshader 2.0... Will it work? Beyond Divinity!
Arius Black Gallente Nightstorm Industries	Posted - 2007.12.06 01:53:00 - [12] I take it the ATI Radeon Mobility cards (my Acer Ferrari 4000 has an ATI Radeon Mobility x700 chip) wont run the new graphics. My GF is a little bit upset that my main machine plays just fine with them and the laptop can't.
Ashlspiess Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.06 02:34:00 - [13] Great thread, been wondering if my card would work. Question is, would it be even worth it to upgrade to premium with a DX9 only card? Would graphics performance suffer greatly? _______________ It takes 42 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip the bird.
princess minervia	Posted - 2007.12.06 03:17:00 - [14] Edited by: princess minervia on 06/12/2007 03:18:36 Edited by: princess minervia on 06/12/2007 03:17:37 My friend has an ATI X850 Pro and the message in game says his machine wont support the new content.... I am guessing that his cards class according to this list, is not good enough for the new premium content? Hence the missing of Shader Mark 3...Any replies appreciated.. Thanks.
