Radeon 7000, an old ATI card for less than $30 nowadays, comes with DirectX 9. I know because I had one. It's a decent card for running simple games on or for those with almost no budget. I have Radeon 9600 XT myself of which is probably 18 months old or so (given the driver's date of July 2004 (the ones on the CD anyway)). Radeon 7000 is probably 3 or 4 years old. I'm unfamiliar with Nvidia's timeline so I don't know older Nvidia cards and what they have. When I had Radeon 7000, it ran A6 just fine (6.22 anyway, the last A6 version of running on the Radeon 7000. I might upgrade again, but this PCI-express thing is a limiting factor....

Look at the minimum system requirements on Conitec's main website. Even my 5-year-old computer could run it, but barely (except the video card). If all else, just run the engine with -w3d to minimize incompatibilities with old systems.



I'm sure thats perfectly fine for anyone planning to make a Game with
A6 and Target 3D Hardware Equiped computer.
My Back up computer Wont Even run A6 but A5 it handles nicely.
I would by no means consider it anywhere near being time
to retire it; As I can burn Cd, DvD, etc.

Still nobody seems to distinguish the differnce
on Could, and should.
EX: Assuming The customer CAN upgrade...
Should they have to? After all their computer works
just fine for all their other needs.
So they should upgrade just to play "your" GAME?


Well now that were on the subject.....
just About all my friends and Everyone (I know)
Dont even have an Advanced 3D Card....
they all just have basic video.
Really theres only 1 person I know that actually
went out and Bought a Advanced 3D Card.


And just for eveyone info... those commands for
A6 weak video don't work. They are bogus.

Only Software Emulation will work on Computers with
basic Video. Trust Me
