3DAnalyzer runs Reef Demo on non Matrox hardware now!

[Jon P. Inghram]

3DAnalyzer ( CAUTION! Annoying popup adds that are NOT safe for work! ) now has a "Matrox Reef Demo fix" option that'll let it run on non-Parhelia hardware. On my 8500 it's got some glitches and missing objects unless you turn "emulate HW TnL caps" on, but then it runs rather slow and still with some missing textures. I hear it runs better on a 9700 though, so someone might give it a try and see what it does for them.

will it run on my g400?

[Jon P. Inghram]

I doubt it, but go ahead and try, shoudn't hurt anything.

Cool, thanks for the heads up

No worky on G400.

Audio is nice though.

IMO that demo should definitely implement some sort of mermaid - similar to G400 magic forrest fairy.

This is on my 9700 Pro with 4xaa og 8xaf.

What settings do you need to make to get it to run?

[Robin B P]

See this on how to run it.

[Paddy]

Doh!

Cheers mate! Now to wait for the demo to download....

But what is the setting to make GT4 of 3Dmark03 to work with Parhelia?

[Paddy]

Hmm... I can't get it to run with my 8500
Do i also need to check some extra boxes?

[Jon P. Inghram]

It ran on my 8500, didn't need to check anything other than the Reef Demo fix, although "emulate HW TnL caps" made it look nicer (and way slower.) It would only run on WinXP though, Win98 didn't work.
