TSE and GeForce 3 Ti 500

by Hokuto · in Torque Game Engine · 03/18/2005 (9:10 am) · 3 replies

I was wondering..
will a Geforce3 Ti 500 be able to show the new shader engine from TSE even if at a scaled down rendition?
I'm trying to google it to see what version of pixel and vertex shader this card supports

I'm considering the EA license for TSE, but I need to find out if I HAVE TO get a better card of if I my GForce 3 can cope for now.

Thanks

I forgot there were demos to download...
Demos answered my question

My Geforce 3 shows a couple of the shaders ok. Allthough a bit slower than I expected. Might have to try my new PC now I have an athlon64

Yes I want and need to go 64, just trying to wait a little bit longer as I'm contemplating a dual athlon64 set up.... not sure though.

the only demo I can't run is the Dojo as it needs at least ps1.4...

Probably the geforce3 will be ok for now, even if it can't show TSE in full glory, while I make my mind up for the next PC upgrade.
