Juardis Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Reason I ask is that I have a Voodoo5 5500. I just loaded up Warcraft III and much to my horror, my vid card could not support DX 8.1. So what's required for CMBB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I believe the last set of drivers that 3dfx released for the Voodoo family was based on DirectX 7. The cards should work with DirectX 8.1, but will not support features unique to DirectX 8.1+. This is an issue of drivers, since they would need to be updated to take advantage of any hardware capability that newer versions of DirectX would offer. I don't know if WarCraft III has unique graphics that require the support of certain DirectX 8.1 calls. Basically CMBB should still work with DirectX 6.1+. We'll check the Voodoo family for compatibility (they should still work, but will most likely have the same problems that they do in CMBO).

Juardis Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Thanks Scrhull. I realize the drivers are the reason and I also realize that V5 drivers stopped with DX 8.0 (beta drivers from x3dfx.com). I was just making sure that CMBB doesn't require 8.1. Otherwise, it's off to the computer store I go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
