Hi,
I noticed if I run HDR + DoF and  I start Fur Rendering the HDR thread stops moving. Frames keep counting. All the other demos continue to run.

Great stress program.

Thanks
Dennis

Thanks Dennis. I will fix it for the next release.

Using white text in the HDR Demo might not be a good idea :

Another color , maybe ? Or a black square below the white text ?

Hello All!
I'm flo from WorldPCSpecs.com! 
First of all, congratulation JeGX for your new web site

So, It seems there is a problem with my mobile graphic card.
When I run GPUCapsViewer, there are some problem with hardware detection :


I'm currently making a tool for general hardware detection. I decided to pass through DirectX for the GPU detection and I have quite the same problem. DirectX says that my GPU supports only PS 1.1 ans VS 0  . However it's not true ( PS and VS 2.0 for my Radeon 9700 Mobility )
How GPUCapsViewer make the hardware detection? maybe it can help me. Thanks!

[JeGX]

hi flo,
it's just a missing information in GPU Caps database. I will update it for the next release.

PS: d'oł tu sors une veille carte comme celle lą ? J'essaierai d'aller faire un petit tour sur WPS la semaine prochaine....

Hi
I just wanted to test my Video Card (Data: See picture) and got this from the VTF Demo: a colored, plain square. I don't think it is supposed to look like that, so... what's wrong?
Thx for help

[JeGX]

I guess the problem comes from your graphics drivers: forceware 93.71 which are rather old. I don't remember exactly but I know some forceware (maybe yours) have a bug with vertex texture fetching. Try to update with the forceware 175.16 WHQL.
Let me know.

[Stefan]

I noticed a little typo: "Devive ID"

GPU detection fails using Vista64
Is that the part you disabled according to change log?

Hi
I'm sorry for the delay, I was on holiday three weeks.
I just got my new HDD, created a new XP installation, got the 175.16 Forceware and now everything's fine!
I don't know details what exactly caused the flat square, but as a lot more things (like most of the PC Games and some Forceware installations) weren't working as well, I think my installation and driver systems were all screwed up.
Thanks again for your support!

your're welcome Derfab

Put a copy of atioglxx.dll from CAT7.11 into the same folder as GpuCapsViewer.exe and try again.
Didn't look at that on my old PC with ATI card, which now is broken down, so i can't try myself
