Trying now

'Smoke' works fine, trying Adrianne now

Smoke weren't impressive however.

sunlitsix · 15 Dec 2006 at 19:45

do all the smoke physics work aswell?

what driver set btw?

Lolcb · 15 Dec 2006 at 19:46

Is it all of them or just the froggy, adrianne and smoke thing?

Combat squirrel · 15 Dec 2006 at 19:54

says 8800 min unfort, (wonder why as it -****- be running DX9 ?)

sunlitsix · 15 Dec 2006 at 19:55

smoke works on my 7600's, adrianne doesn't. just gives me an error

A little tip, if you have multi threaded processor then set multi threaded to auto in the nvidia control panel!!! it doubles fps

How do you know it's not Open GL or something? Might not be DX9.

I dun see such option, mind posting ss and show me where that option is?

sunlitsix · 15 Dec 2006 at 20:16

Plus the nvidia version doesn't chainsmoke like a psycho.

The smoke one works fine on my rig, as in sig, tho its a little bit "pixelly" so might not be rendering quite as it should if it was on an 8800 card dunno... runs about 38-40fps according to fraps...

Dling the other 2 now...

Getting errors with the other 2

I guess they are "hard" coded not to run on other hardware...

Lolcb · 15 Dec 2006 at 21:24

Not bad, I like the girl one hehe. Frog one isnt too bad but smoke?? waste of time to even open the smoke demo.

These demos r meant to run on 8800GTX. G70 Series will crash running these demos :cool:

Join the G80 club :cool:
