Graal can't handle 32bit?
 

So recently I purchased a Radeon X850 pro 256mb to play the new games out like Battle Field 2, F.e.a.r, etc.
But anyways I go on graal O_o and wow wtf it said for me to disable light effects. Certainly didnt have those problems back with a Nvidia 5200 which is no way as close as good as the current gfx card I have now. I can play graal n/p with the lights off but there is another problem. I cant go full screen with level editor without lag with graal on and another program running like Remote Control. In 16 bit colors I can but with 32 bit rofl no way. Rlly annoying ya know.

So I came to the conclusion that my gfx card is to good for graal without me lowering performance. So can you tell me is there a way to fix this or is this going to be fixed in the future with graal4 or w/e?

(Updated drivers and all Catalyst 5.12 I believe its called)
I run a 2.85ghz ,HT Pent.4 ,1gb of Ram

Graal "handles 32-bit" quite well. :)

Did you make sure to uninstall any old drivers (nvidia and ati) before installing the new ones? Does the device report it is working properly? Can you run some tests in dxdiag? Can you learn how to ask questions the smart way?

Tsk Tsk Tsk retard you should of got 800PRO more pipelines then 850PRO and it might actully be your power supply it should atleast have 300-350WATTS MINIMUM, and it might be a conflict between AGP X4 and X8 which is rare for ATI. Check all those things out, and if all else fails remove all video drivers and restart windows on the built in video and try reinstalling the drivers.

Same problems with v4 ?

Should of got a AIW, for some reason its a lot cheeper... or even a GTO... :)

No such built in video card in my pc, drivers installed correctly, 400 watt power supply. Yet I shall go into Bios and see if I can set it to 8X AGP.

And yes Lance I installed my gfx card correctly and there is not a trace of Nvidia on my computer. 2nd there was only 1question located in my previous post and its located at the bottom. So I guess it was dumb to go through the process of what happend right? Ill try to ignore the ignorance though.

O and I was just asking if there was a change in v4 that might fix that. I wouldnt know because Im not VIP or Gold.

(Pac my gfx card can be oced to X850 XT/PE and It cost like 100 dollars less than usual. and zell I needed a AGP standard that I could afford.)

You didn't answer any of my questions in your initial post.

How in the world is this dumb and how is it ignorance on my part? Do you even understand what ignorance is?

A lot of stuff has been modified in v4, it should be more compatible, especially the 32 bit mode. Most of the time those gfx lag problems are caused by old drivers though. Other 3D games are running fine?

=P As I said before, I got the gfx driver and basically oversouped the graphics card, im assuming, and now the computer does some kinda memory dump when I play Graal with lights on, or off, G4 or G2. No matter, simply the same result. BUT... ads don't slow me down anymore, which is cool. So, I reside on playing on the Pentium 4 computer. Yes, cackle at its sheer weakness compared to other speed demons. The major disadvantage on this newer computer is that I still can't play GK maps (deadly laggy red glow in expanses of maps) on G4, only G2 with disadvantageous lag, and also that the stupid F1-F12 keys don't work. Stupid laptops, the keys are NEVER made for gaming.

Other games? Hmm... Jedi Knights and... Half Life 1 work very well on both computers, but the oversouped gfxcard on the other computer is making it stretch its limits. But no mem dumps unless someone tosses too many grenades.

To Lance: DxDiag display test= Successful

To Stefan: All 3d games run perfectly and no other errors have resulted since the graphics card has been installed I believe. Other than with graal.

I may be abble to help you soon i ordered a X850 pro and see what i get on graal.

The same with v4 ?

My stuff is as updated as possible.
(Unless Stefan adds another thing I haven't looked at!)

Lance, stop being an ass man. Some people aren't smart like you.

And Infernix, The x800 AIW is a AGP card, and very affordable for some reason. It also OC very nice. :)

Same thing is the X850 pro with the ability to change what the card things it is with the X800. Mainly the entire X800 and X850 series Overclocks and fashes Bios in some sort of way to improve it.

I would know about graal4 or graal3d or anything that would require me to pay for graal "again".

Did you even bother reading the post I was replying to? I don't usually give people helpful links unless it looks like they could use the help.

Well, you already solved my problem. I need a new computer. Period. I saw an Athlon XP Barebones starting at 128 dollars. Good start for a gooder machine. Pricewatch.

Radion cards suck @ graal.

Tru.
