Can We Have Hardware T&L Support For Ah?
« on: December 28, 2002, 02:48:34 AM »
can A.H. add a hardware T&L (transformation, clipping and lighting) support for those who are using video cards that features T&L? T&L feature will give this game game xtra polygons and therefore making the game look smoother.

I think so to booky and wasnt really addressing what he asked but since he started on the board he has made numerous requests for what he wants from ah and yet he doesnt even shell out the .50 cents a day to pay for it.

Im surprised Hitech hasen't removed the H2H all together over this moron who is going to ruin it for all those other poor people who can't get a account for whatever reason.

Ike, tell your momma and poppa to up your allowance so you can have some fun.

Until then, stop wasting our bandwidth:mad:

I pay so I can post stupid stuff here, you don't pay, so don't post stupid stuff.

LoL, ok you want to get technical? Hardware T&L does not enable any new features, to my knowledge these are made possible through Direct X and the chip on the video card.

All that Hardware T&L does is move the processing of the transform and lighting data to the Video card instead of the main CPU, freeing up the CPU to do other things. This is designed for games and programs that need lots of CPU power for AI and such.

Now as I stated above, I may be wrong with this, but I doubt it. SO before you go rant your little tech talk then make sure you know what YOU are asking for and how to apply it to the game.

You are pretty much right Booky.  I'll even add, if the video card lacks the processing power of the main CPU, then the use of hardware T&L will reduce game performance.
For instance, if you have a 1.8Ghz (or faster) Northwood P4, there is only one video card on the market that has a GPU fast enough to make sense using T&L, and that is the ATI9700Pro, everything else is too slow, as compared to the CPU.
