Chops Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just re-installed CMAK after several years, and was wondering if there is a way to change the graphics resolution within the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 It will only do some specific resolutions - you can delete the prefs file and restart the game to re-enable the resolution setting. But what you see is what you get. There is no support for much larger resolutions, or widescreens as far as I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Following up on Chops thread for CMAK Graphics. I am about to purchase an older Dell Latitude Series laptop Pentium M Celeron 2 Gig, 1 Gig Ram, and want to know which of the following Graphics ( intergrated or card ) will work best ( smooth running & FPS ) on CMBB, CMAK using Direct X8 and older Direct X5 games: ATI Radeon 7500, ATI Radeon 9000, Nvidia GeForce 5200 ( 32 MB ) Nvidia Radeon X300 ( 64 MB ), X600 ( 128 MB ) Basically, I dont want to powerful of a Video that it doesnt run CMBB, CMAK properly ( Which probably means it wont run older Direct X5 games ) Thanx Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I can run both CMBB and CMAK on my Samsung NC10 which has integral graphics and it works a treat. Okay there is no fog, but it works fine with decent framerates. So the Intel chipset works for sure. Oh and that's Vista too. I haven't used any of those other cards as far as I can recall but all I would say is this - they *should* all work fine providing they are not DX10, and you do not use Vista. I know that the older Nvidia cards definitely work well with CMBB/CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hey Phil, My old Dell C640 with Win XP, 2 Gig Pentium M w/intergrated ATI Radeon 7500, also worked pretty good ( decent frame rates, but no fog ) with CMBB and CMAK. Yes, I also heard that Nvidia Graphics in generel work alittle better then ATI since its not intergrated, and might even get fog. I Think my next purchase of an old Dell Latitude will be with the Nvidia Graphics. Thanx for the info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Phil, or anyone else. Will there be any adverse effects on CMBB, CMAK if the Dell Laptop I get is 15" ( not sure if there is a Wide version of a 15" ). I prefer to get a 15" over a 14" if I can get away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 No that's fine - in fact a 15" screen will give you a standard resolution which will be ideal. I'm sure the Nvidia gpu will be sufficient for cmbb/cmak although me personally, I would go for something a little beefier, like that X600 with 128mb. If you're only using it with XP then any of those will be fine I'm sure, although you will probably only get the full effects (like fog) with the Nvidia, although I am only speculating at this point. I have tried both games with a number of different cards but never a 5200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Phil, Thanx again for the Info. I still like to PM you soon regarding some stuff regarding 15" Laptos monitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Red Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If any of the ATI cards will use the newer ATI drivers (starting from Oct 07), you will get fog in the CMx games. AMD had ATI reinstute fog when the two companies merged in 2007. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have to say, ATI are performing better than Nvidia with CMBB/CMAK at the mo! I've tested another Nvidia 260 GTx here which flies but there is no fog support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
