kid_lightning · 22 August 2005, 22:23:35

so ive been on a recent journey of trying to get battlefield 2 to run on my voodoo 3 3000.
after trying sfft drivers, and 3dhq beta drivers, ive had no luck.
has anyone out there been able to get this to run on voodoo 3?

oh and im new here and apologize if i put this in the wrong forum.

Hey, this game doesnt even run on a Geforce4 card.
No chance ever to get it to run on a V5, so dont even think about a V3...

Ack @ Rolo. That won't ever work ... and if it would look more crappy than Half-Life classic, I think ...

Did you see the pics with the inofficial "patch" for GeForce4 cards? It lacks of many effects and the textures are nearly one-color surfaces ...

Dam it ! I was looking for a new mobo-cpu combo to play this game with my V5... So What is the minimum spec cards ? ati r600 ? GeForce FX 5500 ?

Raff3DC · 01 September 2005, 18:30:50

Radeon 8500 or GeForceFX 5200 ... but I doubt the FX can make it playable ... X-D

It can run on my Radeon 8500, but not on a GeForce 4 Ti4600? I can't believe it!

8500 rocks!

..you need pixel shaders 1.4,and the gf4ti series only have 1.3 (I believe)..

Vanilias Ronk · 02 September 2005, 02:01:49

Yes, like Geforce 3, the 4 series just faster, not better. Like 9700, 9800, X800.

Raff3DC · 02 September 2005, 15:51:04

Well, a little bit. GF4 has PS1.3, GF3 only 1.1.

Oh, sorry.

QuoteWell, a little bit. GF4 has PS1.3, GF3 only 1.1.

Actually GeForce 3 support PS1.3, but optimizations fot this shaders was wroten only for GeForce 4. After all GF3 and GF4 is brothers in technology specs (by the way GeForce 3 support AA4xS to).

Still Radeon 8500 have low perfomance, and not so playable after all.

I think B2 can be launched on Voodoo 5, but it will be looks terrible. Like Halo on Voodoo 2 SLI.

If it will be GeForce FX 5900 maybe/... maybe.

no.battlefield2 reqires pixel shaders 1.4.finito.
and halo doesnt run on v2 SLI,it only runs on v4/5,and it doesnt look that terrible.there are problems with certain surfaces (like water),but most of the game looks fine..

TeronL · 28 September 2005, 07:30:08

As I said Halo runs on Voodoo 2 SLI - fact. Found screens on this forum.

Halo doesn't run with Voodoo2. Thats screenshots own to Voodoo 4/5.
