The roof bink video question

[Nex321]

Someone said that the roof bink video was using PS 3.0, is this true? Weren't they running it on a 9800 xt? Because I don't think 6800 was out when they did the movie.

Allso if anyone has a link to the bink video download page please post it here since I want to download it again.

The card that was used when recording that BINK video would have been a 9800 PRO or 9800 XT at the time and therefore wouldn't have been capable of PS 3.0.

The Source engine, as far as I know, won't have PS 3.0 upon release, but likely to be added later.

Thanks!

My 9800 Pro can do that ! wow....

The roof bink is not in the video section

 

[Chris D]

Yes it is. It's the one called "Source"

That's the link to it.

Well it starts off in a wodden house with the sun coming in
THen you walk out turn left hear some wind
Ends with ant lion thing shinny as hell.

Got cofused with the image, but thats the right one. Thanks

People under estimate the power of dx9 and other effects, Theres more to life than PS3.0 (which in all honesty is nothing but a buzz word at the moment)

 

[Nex321]

The graphic is just.....AMAZING!

ps 3.0 will be a big step up from ps 2.0, but that doesn't mean ps 2.0 isn't fantastic. most games haven't even started to show how good ps 2.0 shaders can look.

You do realise that ati cards running the nvidia 3.0 path in farcry
actually run it faster.

I believe the card used to show the Source video was a 9800 Pro. I don't think the XT's hadn't come out by then and the other videos shown at that time were also 9800 Pro jobbies which would make sense.

Anyway, it was impressive none the less.

Ati cards can't run ps 3.0 dude. It simply isnt in the hardware. Try again.

The increased number of shader code and other effects implemented in the 1.2 patch of Farcry runs on PS3.0 and PS2.0b hardware, along with instancing. Link

Its 2.0b in fact, and its a seperate path that Crytek included, and its still very capable of doing the same, it just doesnt support the few features that are in PS3, like looping, but from what the benchies show is that 2.0b is very capable compared to 3.0

Its not THAT big a step in fact, all PS3 is, is that its got longer registers, and a few new features, so u can either increase frame rates with new games, or put more detail into every pass, and have it run at ok frame rates, like Unreal 3

No in fact with a device id change the ati card was running the ps 3.0 path and faster - it depends on the amount of instructions in the 3.0 path before the ati cards cant run it.
And yes with geometry instancing and ps 2.0b the ati cards get an excellent boost.

Ahh yes i did see that, and true to ur words, they did run it, so yup, thats correct.
