Nvidia cards cant even render the active camo correctly, while ATI cards do.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

It's gotten to the point to where it doesnt matter what you have as they both are capable of pushing hundreds of frames at max res.

The nvidia drivers mess up the way the camo looks, but I'm not sure if this is present in H2v.

I cant even see how this could be a debate. One can render everything in the game just fine, the other cant. Period. I also have no loyalty to either brand or manufacturer or w/e they are.

It's all personal preference. Me? I'm an ATI guy myself. But I know a lot of people who swear by Nvidia. Although that might change with the release of the r600.

I'm more of an "oh, that card is on sale, and equal to or better than its competitive counterpart, I'll get that one" kind of guy. I'm loyal to no one brand!

Better eat them quick. I don't know what a cookie looks like after a year, but I don't want to know.

I agree that Ati Cards are better but Ive got NVIDIA Geforce 7300 LE and it renders the cloak better than the Xbox Version dose.

Whats it look like? I thought all Nvidia cards just made it transparent and have really no effect. IMO, the predator(movie)-type cloak the xbox and ATIs have look better.

Actually, not all ATI cards render camo correctly either. Mine can't unless I do that thing Nessy did with his Halo.

is it possible to get NVIDIA cards to render camo the same way ATI does?, I have a 7600GT and when i pick up a camo its like I'm wearing a damn invisibility cloak, can barely see myself yet alone camo Elites ingame.

That's how it is supposed to look. The incorrect rendering makes a camo player stick out like a sore thumb.

Fake, it is possible, using a program using DXTweaker.

I have it, and my 7800 makes the camo look very pretty :)

darekster2ongame; I'm sort of gonna have to disagree with you there. It's called an active camouflage, not active invisibility cloak. your meant to look like your body is adapting to the environment by bending light, not making light run straight through your body making you transparent.

Pet0sh, where can i get this DXTweaker, and can it be removed if I'm not satisfied?, I'll try and google it, but will come back here for an answer if I have no luck finding it.

This once inexplicably stopped working, so I applied it again and it's been working fine for around an year now.

yea no kidding, I went to the computer fair to look for a 7600GT but was hoping to also find a x1650xt (which is better than the 7600GT). couldn't find the x1650xt but found a -blam!- load of 7600GT's. I had $230 on me, since i live in Australia, prices a generally a lot higher than America's or elsewhere. Finally found a 7600GT under $200 ($190 to be precise), double checked to see if there was any x1650xt's, none to be found. Bought the 7600GT, and as i got the receipt there it was, right in front of my f***ing eyes, a x1650xt for $230, I was stabbing myself after that. It was a computer fair and they don't take back what you buy so i couldn't trade back my 7600GT for the x1650xt.

Anyways, i found dxtweaker through google, d/l'ed it, now to run it and see if it works.

EDIT: OK; got it to work 1st go, now i must say thats pretty impressive, it didn't even slow down the games performance, and for what i remember of the xbox version of camo, i must say this looks better. Nicely done

EDIT(2): It's probably just me, but i noticed that i sometimes have to double click to press ok or cancel, I'm guessing its just because the mod is settling in, and its no big of a deal, just takes some time getting use to

I would say the x1650 XT and the 7600 GT are about equal depending on what game you play matters as to which card is faster. And even then the difference in framerate is usually minimal of around 1-5 frames.

  • 04.30.2007 4:59 PM PDT

Dpends what card. Compare the ATI Radeon X1950 and the nVidia GeForce 880GTX.
