Hi Guys
Does anyone know which other Nvidia Demo can run in ATI with a wrapper? besides Dawn
And a few older ones, that had no VPU detection.
thx :t

I ran Dusk, and also the Matrox card demo's. That's about all *I'VE* done though. I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure that stuff out, but I think it's really cheap that they basically say
if(NOT nVidia card)
exit and pretend you cant run
else
run fine
although intel does the same thing

I agree with this. This why wrappers work. They simply make the software think it sees the chipset it wants. I would think that there are a few function calls in the wrapper as well that only specfic drivers would typically support.

I think we should say
if(company is a dork)
do not buy;
else
promote heavily;
Honestly, even doing it with the demo's or something is fine, they put their stuff in there, it's their work, but some people compile with "intel optimizations" and such that just do the exact same thing, or develop games with nVidia and never give thought to ATI, and THAT is being a dork
