PS1.1 - 1.3, The poor guys with Geforce cards :/

PS1.1 - 1.3, The poor guys with Geforce cards :/ - 07/03/04 03:42

I was looking already at lots of shader examples, most... or better like all are using PS1.4 which arent supported by Geforce cards.
Expecially Watershaders. The PS 1.4 does look really good, but it would suck to use that in your game since geforce users cant see them.

I was just wondering if the nice effects are possible with 1.1 - 1.3 as well.
Or has anyone any example for Geforce users ?.

I managed to get an ocean water,river water, and the multitexture terrain shaders working, and I have a Geforce card. Or are they not working and I dont know what to look for?

I own a GeForce MMX 440 - and can't use/see any shaders - as it doesn't support pixel or vertex shaders.

But I'm going to buy an ATI Radeon 9600XT soon, for just over £100 - and it supports both pixel and vertex. I think it's 2.0 on both - if not higher.

Are you talking about all GF cards or GeForce 1? I have a GF FX5200 and it supports ps1.4 and DX9.

Something else to try, I've seen quite a few pixel shaders labeled as being ps1.4, when they could be done with 1.3 and lower many times, as they dont use ps1.4 only instructions, nor do they exceed the instruction counts. If you find a shader, and you dont know if it will work with a lower version, just try it. At worse case, you get an error that it couldnt compile the shader. At best, you have a 1.4 shader working at a lower version.

Personally, Id like for anyone posting shader code here, to please post using the lowest shader version that still works for that shader. Posting something using a higher version then needed does a disservice to the community, and isnt what posting these things is all about, helping the community?

well the example of the link above doesnt work...

Whenever someone shares a PS 1.1 - 1.3 example, he will be the hero of the Shader Forum since lots peeps are using Geforce Cards.
