Just a word to you absolute hardware junkies out there: I recently picked up a Toshiba notebook (techra 8100) with the new s3 savage mx w/8mb vram. This machine runs Sacrifice great! Some features don't work, but what's there can run at 30FPS at 1024x768 (on a freakin' notebook!). The screen is beautiful. Much better than my Dell 7000. Those of you with slower machines: don't worry, we're not tailoring the game for my notebook http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif . I just thought I'd mention this news for anyone in the market for a notebook that can run next-gen games well. Also, it only weighs about 5.5 lbs (w/battery). I got the one with the 650mhz speedstep proc. Set to 500 (neat option), it still runs just fine. Killer machine! http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif I can't wait to see what Nvidia's NV11 mobile geforce chip can do. This S3 chip doesn't even have hw T&L and it still kicks butt. -joby [This message has been edited by poopsie (edited 05-15-2000).] |

Hmmmm, not familiar with the RageIIc. I'll have to look into it. Maybe Martin or Dan know. Anyone else know? Was the IIc before the Rage Pro or after? Thanks, -joby |
What ATI says.... http://www.ati.com/na/pages/technolo...e/rageiic.html What some users say about it.... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/userrevie..._Rage_IIC.html My opinion... don't have one. But from what I see... I *think* it's suppose to be the "Celeron" of Rage cards. Meaning, this card what created out of value more than technology. As Poopsie says... anybody? Danziger :^) |
the IIC (it was actualy two strait lines I could not properly prodice on the forum) was after the rage part. I know that it has the power of a low 3d accelerator. I was told this by my brother and I have played some demos that need 3d accelerators. |
The reason i asked was to see if it is worth saving my money for sacrifice. And i can't just get a new 3d card cuss the computers are technicly my dads. (I'm two yong to move out) |
All I can tell you is that I have a p2 300 notebook with a rage pro lt 8mb mobile chip. This was a decent chip in its day, but it really isn't suitable for anything beyond Quake 1. It will run Sacrifice, badly and without fogging (doesn't look as nice without fogging). From what I can tell its mostly the fillrate that is killing this chip. Hopefully the IIc has better fillrate. We will be going into QA soon. We will probably have more to say about other chipsets soon (hopefully, including the IIc). -joby [This message has been edited by poopsie (edited 05-21-2000).] |

i have a rageiic 4mb agp vidio card, and for the guy who has that vidio card im sorry if your offended from what im about to say The rageicc sucks ass or it could be the 4mb of ram but i have a feeling its the chipset. there was no opengl for it in quake2 it did have some sort of opengl for quake1 but i dont have q1 to try it on. This is just my opinion wich is probably wrong but at least i think its right |
I think my next upgrade will be the Geforce2.I will prolly get that one before Sacrifice ships and then I might upgrade to a 1ghz processer or higher to really get the most out of it. Thanks guys and poopsie!!! ------------------ Chris Guess |

And now I can't even play Messiah http://forums.voodooextreme.com/frown.gif, when I first heard of the game I thought of my computer as pretty good, not top of the line, but decent enough. Now you have to have like at least a Pentium III and some sort of Voodoo card to run it. It sucks! No offense. I love Shiny and all...you have been my favorite game developer ever the Earthworm Jim days...but damn it. I hate that you have to have such a powerful computer to even attempt to play games. It's just not worth it! I don't have money growing out my ass like most of these people on this board do obviously, so I can't afford some Gigahtz Processor with a GeForce3 when this game comes out! This is one reason I hope you seriously consider porting to Dreamcast. As I had stated in a previous post...the system is perfect for this game. It's got a built-in modem and a mouse coming out soon... I want this game so bad...but can't afford $1000 to upgrade my computer. This is all I've got.

I understand your frustration. Believe me its VERY frustrating for us too. The PC market is segmented worse than my hardrive. http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif Today's developers have to do a lot more to make sure the games cover the enormous gap from lowest end to highest end machines that are actually in use for the given type of game. For a brief period of time Windows made things easier because it was handling certain driver issues that game devs used to have to write into their own code. Now the expanded hardware possibilities have lead to a much greater chasm. Unfortunately, even with the most scaleable engines out there, there is only so far you can go. Even if our engine could scale to 0 polys there's a lot of stuff to calculate outside of the renderer (AI, pathing, collision ...). There's not much that can be scaled in that part of the code without risking folks on low end machines playing an essentially different game. The situation is made much worse by the fact that sooo many developers see fit to release amazing looking screenshots of games that will be at least 2 years away. These games are then presented as coming soon and rabid gamers everywhere hold everything that really is coming soon to those products for comparison. We (Shiny) have been guilty of the this too. Its not that devs do it on purpose, we just have a _very_ difficult job that is one part science one part art and all too hard to predict. We have to make experiences that are fun to play and dress them up so richly that they stand up to the highest expectations just to get noticed. Its a lot of fun, but really distressing too because we see how much it hurts the gamers. I think we'll be much closer to the mark with Sacrifice in terms of releasing soon after we've started the hype. We are working on solutions, but I don't think the problem disappear unless the PC market changes dramatically. For instance: Software rendering had to go away so that we could develop just one set of graphics that took advantage of the subset of cards with texture filtering, alpha modes and on and on. What kinds of things will tomorrow's games have to ditch so that they can fully and efficiently take advantage of T&L, T-buffer and the next big thing? The more we try to use the new tricks the harder it is to use the old tricks too. The same textures that work with bump mapping don't necesarily work without it. Ugg, its just a nasty, nasty problem. That's my rant for today, sorry. http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif -joby |
It's ok, actually. I was just blowing off a little steam myself. I totally understand the problems you have (well, mostly). I just wish there could be one unified standard myself. Like VCR's and such you know? There aren't 7 different types of VCR's and 7 different types of tapes. There's only one. And makes things so much easier that way. Sure, VCR's are old and are going to be soon outdated but with another new Standard platform not 5 or 6. If only people could design some kind of system like that with computers. I know this is just great in theory. People would probably get like a big monopoly going and all, but in a perfect world it sure would be great. Hopefully though, if all games learned from what Shiny has accomplished with your scalable engine someday everyone would have the opportunity to play the same game. Maybe by the time I'm out there workin' with ya (if I'm lucky) things will be a little closer to that dream. I know I can't be the only one with it. Thanx, and I really do appreciate all the hard work you do. As an artist myself I know how hard it is to create something impressive all the time. It takes so much frickin' creativity to come up with fresh and new stuff; like you all are doing there with this game. Good Luck! http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif -ZePHyR http://filenotfound.havengames.net |

You could run Sacrifice if you upgraded to 64mb ram (our min).

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but the Toshiba laptop ain't as good as you may think. The performance is just fine but the hardware isn't. Put another way, Toshiba laptops break all the time. I know because I work on these things all the time. The hard drive is usually what goes out on them first, followed by a bunch of other problems. A word of advice, when you get another laptop, spend a little extra money and buy quality. Not that I'm dissing you for buying the Toshiba or something. I'm just trying to warn you of what will happen. Quote:

Poopsie, any idea why there is a conflict between the GeForce2 GTS and the VIA chipset mobos? When I boot from cold (ie power up rather than reset) it often does the three beep-one beep (this is no graphics adaptor found noise) and there is no video output but then when I reset it it boots fine. This seems a very odd error as the GF1 is fine and that uses more power than the GF2 so it can't be that. I was woundering if your QA dept. had come across this problem during system testing? ------------------ -Shivoa http://www.sacrifice.org.uk/ http://www.smgskins.org.uk/ http://www.TRt.org.uk/ |
I don't think it is a power problem. I have an athlon 650 on a fic mobo with, I think, a via chipset. I have the same problem you described. Happens pretty rarely and always boots after reset. I think if it were a problem of the card persistently getting less power than needed or inconsistent power post start up, you'd probably get other problems. I had a power problem on one geforce card (one a p3 600 intel mobo) and got terrible corruption in the display though it booted fine. However, I don't have a solution, or even a hint of one, for the problem you mentioned. Sorry. -joby -joby |

Poopsie, I think I've found a solution (or at least a way of making it less common). Turn on Wake on LAN in the BIOS. Since I turned that on (I also reinstalled 1004Bios after deciding 1005 wasn't better but this is mobo specific and so won't apply to yours) it has not failed to startup the video card at startup so problem solved AFAIK. ------------------ -Shivoa http://www.sacrifice.org.uk/ http://www.smgskins.org.uk/ http://www.TRt.org.uk/ |
