G400 max question

[Fifaheld]

does the g400 max support Hardware Transform & Lighting and 24-bit z-buffer???

[P5ycho]

no T&L, but it does support 24bit Zbuffering.

T&L can be done in software though

[OasisPlaces]

It even has a 32bit z buffer.. just no TnL

software? which software, i using win xp with sp1

T&L software emulation is implemented in DirectX 7.0 and later... WinXP should have installed at least DirectX 8.1 so you've to do nothing

Maybe G400 chip could do T&L in hardware, but Matrox hasn't implemented this in its drivers, probably 'cause it's too slow, so just emulate via software, it's easy and fast if you have a fast cpu ( a P3 or faster ).

If you are thinking of battlefield 1942 you may as well forget it.

T&L in 3Dmark works great but it wont help you much in games that are CPU demanding.

You might want to tell us what you are planning to T&L and we might help you, if we can

I have an XP2000+ with 512MB and a G400MAX, once I get a disk with the demo on it I'll test it. I still think it will run though
