| 706933 | 2008-09-22 08:23:00 | Oh and another issue with trying to find out specs, i dont have any computers with AGP anymore | a helpless random (13059) | ||
| 706934 | 2008-09-22 08:31:00 | Dont worry about DX9 i no its compatible with it as i have played BF2 on it but im still not sure about t&l as i dunno what it is. | a helpless random (13059) | ||
| 706935 | 2008-09-22 08:37:00 | What's T&L? All I know is that it's a piece of crap, only ever so slightly better than an FX5200. I think it pushes around 1000-1600 MTexel/pixel per second and has a memory bandwidth of about 5-6.4GB per second if memory serves. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 706936 | 2008-09-22 08:53:00 | T&L: T&L is an abbreviation for Transform and Lighting, which is one of the primary stages of 3d rendering. T&L is also one of the most computing-intensive, so off-loading this function to a video card is a huge improvement for games that require high numbers of polygons on-screen. The Nvidia GeForce256 was the first consumer level T&L 3d chipset on the market. Quoted from gamer to English Dictionary (www.thehaus.net) Just one comment / correction regarding what was written in Trademe i have run it with vista home basic but it did not support the aero themes - the 5600 will support Vista Aero, I had a FX5200 in a workshop PC and was given a 5600 and the Aero is fine on both - its Vista Basic OS that doesn't come with the aero. Regarding what Brand - have a look on the back of the card there is usually a sticker with a series of number/letters that sometimes helps in finding out who manufactured it. |

Type the code in here www.fcc.gov and it should tell you who made it, and when and where. This page may have the specs you want, check the PDF file (lower left). www.nvidia.com |

| 706939 | 2008-09-22 20:42:00 | the nvidia FX5600 is a directx 9.0a graphics card wiuth support for pixel shader 2.0a and vertex shader 2.0a. it was generally out performed by lowerend ati cards of its generation and by previous generation nvidia cards. as for T&L, you would be hard pressed to fine a card that doesnt support it. its been supported since before the TNT2 |

Take a look at Wainuitechs reply for a proper response - if you don't know - look it up - if you can't be bothered doing that, then leave the responses to someone who does. |
