Triplex Xaber - Optimised for WC3?

Performance on par with GF4 MX-440. Compatibility with MBs is the major problem.

haven't played WC3... not my style really - but does this game require a grunty video card? tis not quite that time critical as an FPS is it??

RTS's have recently successfully made the move to 3D - Warcraft III being one of the first ( successfull - 3D RTS's have been out for years, but every one previously sucked :rolleyes: ). If you crank the res and detail in this game, my Radeon 7500 chokes, and you're watching a slide show. You may as well sit there and try and defend your one screen - cos scrolling will cause physical pain :eek:.

Short answers:
Yes, and Not Quite...

I think the driver included in the package is optimised for WC3. However, there won't be a review on this card. Why? Coz Sis' 3D Wizard refuses to install under Win2k, unsupported OS. I mean, wtf? I can understand if it doesn't support Win95 or Win 3.1 but Win2k? I also had some stability issue with the card as well. So..

Generally speaking, this section is for those products which failed the review testing.

English version of Windows? You can get some weird errors and things happening when you start mixing different language versions of Windows ( been there, got frustrated at that ) :D.

WC3 optimized, LOL

my Gf2Ti at all the settings maxed out runs it real smooth, sounds more like marketing stuff.

this is kindda like a beta version by the looks of it, they still got some way to go,

What res? Try it at 1600x1200 or higher. Things start to crawl in a 12-player game :(.

( going to L3's means you have ample opportunity to play 12-player games. In fact, that 12 person limit kinda gets in the way... )

Yeah, it's English version of Win2k. We always use English version of Win2k on the test machine to avoid any potential problems. BTW, the 3D Wizard is Sis' program for controlling FSAA.
