You know the famous Nvidia GFFX "Dawn" demo, right?

Here you go.

For:
R350 based cards
R300 based cards
RV350 based cards
M10 chipset

18+ Warning:
Change filename from fairy.exe to 3dmark03.exe or quack3.exe.

is there any way to get it to run on a parhelia?

Am I the only one that thinks the hair on that demo and 3Dmark2k3 looks horrid?

I am confused with the whole R300 and 350 thing again. I take it this needs a DX9 card?

I agree - but each strand of that hair has its movement calculated on the fly - supposedly meant to be very impressive.

It does look quite good.

Its not very stressing, I DO believe that a wrapper could be made to work on a parhelia as well.

It runs excellent on my clocked 9500 @1280x1024, 4x; 16x.

If interested in screenshots, just holler.

I doubt. It uses Pixel shaders 2.0, and Parhelia only goes up to 1.3.

About the stressing part, most users aren´t running it on "ultra" settings (launch it from the start menu). It does look VERY real but the framerate takes a dive.

You sure? People got it to run on old GeForce with NV30 Emulator.

Now we need new 3D Analyze

RSN Babies? Isn't that illegal?

[DukeP]

Heh. I DID run it on Ultra setting, still not a tough nut to carry

Oh, and about the "patch"? Thats really not important. Just rename the .exe to "quake3.exe", and the elfin figur renders "in nature".

Seems the Nvidia coders know their buyers..

Ill post a pic, just a sec.

Heres the pictures...

It even runs stable enough, to alt tab out and back in again (to paste and save screen dump).

Demo runs at 1280x1024x32bit, 4xAA, 16xAF.












Oh, .tifs available on request, but the .jpg compression is not that hard.

Nooooooooooo DukeP you cannot post these!!
There are teenages here!!

(Can I request avi or mpg?)

Maggi: No need patch. Read my first post and just change filename (nvidia gone crazy!!)
