Radeon 9200 vs GeForce FX5200

Post #1by MindToAsk » 27.12.2003, 21:43

I have a GeForce FX 5200 with 128MB and I want to change it for a Radeon 9200 (128MB). Will I still have suport for multitexture like Nvidia Combiners or OpenGL? Advices...

Mind,

Unfortunately, the answers are "No" and "Not very well."

The "combiners" are specific to Nvidia cards only.

ATI's OpenGL code for the 9200 is very buggy. You need to get a 9500 or better to avoid problems with Saturn's rings, for example.

Sorry.

Ok, thanks! I'll consider this.
