anyone notice a difference? or anyone know whats sooo great about it?

on my 9800Pro with the new renderer I can play at 1600x1200 with 2xAF and 2xAA and still get 35+fps.

wow wish my monitors could pass 1280x1024

Sir_Brizz · May 14, 2004

yah well I spent $200 on the Samsung 955DF about 6 months ago...it was a rip off because I could have got it for $180 from BestBuy but I didn't know they had it

I think I get 5fps more, but some effects looked strange and I can't minimize teh game without it freezing up my comp. :/

quick question: how does one go about enabling the DX9 renderer? The only options that show in the options are Direct3D and Software, and in the UT2004.ini, it reads as such:

RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice

but if you make the d3d9 renderer the renderer, once UT is started, it still only gives d3d and software rendering options, and overwrites d3d in the ini as the renderer... I'll probably try to select it in safe mode or something, and see if that works...

When you change the INI to read as follows, the renderer is already set to D3d9. However, it will never show up in the Options screen; D3d and Software are the only two that will ever show up there. If you really wanna see that it used the D3d9 renderer, type "showlog" in the console and look in the log entries; somewhere there will be a reference to the D3d9 renderer.

well I tried it out and I can say there's not much difference in image quality but it certain does run a lot better on my Radeon 9700 Pro

Hey, I have a 955df too! Darn good monitor; I also have a 9800 pro.
30 fps in combat with 1600x1200 4xAA

Even on just a 1ghz puter with a GF4 it seems to run a LOT faster for me online aswell as offline and the only drawback sofar are a few visual problems. (U-Damage transparent bits shown blackish and similar stuff)

Remember, to really reap the benefits of the DX9 renderer, you need to have at least a Radeon 9500 or better, or a GeForce 5600 or better. Older hardware doesn't have the features necessary to use the renderer right, and your performance will in fact be funky if you use it.
