What Renderer And Resolution Do You Play Ns In?

Fina

I was curious as to what the most popular renderer and resolution is among other NS players.

I would have made a poll, but it doesn't appear that standard members can do so.

Anyway, let's get started!


<b>OpenGL
1024x768x32</b>

BigMadSteve

On my old PC had to use....

<b>Software
320x300</b>

Now I use.....

<b>OpenGL
1280x1024</b>

Nice change <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

OpenGL

1600x1200

SecretFire

Looking at that link...I can't believe how many people use software rendering...rather amazing. *makes mad face at people using software mode, thus preventing everyone from getting a bigger fov when skulking*

Anyhoo, generally it's
1280x960 32bit openGL

FaT_CaM

ogl 800x6000x16 its runs slow, but its better than the rather cramped 640x480

No wonder it runs slow. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

nearly half using software mode? how can they stand it? the numbers must be skewed by the fact that it's a survey built into the update package. How many people are going to start HL and change to OpenGL or D3D before installing the latest version of HL? Or not, ignore me, it's late. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

I use the maximum OpenGL resolution thx to my GeForce 2 Ti graphics card <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I think its 1600x1200, and it looks sweeeeeeet! (the console splash piccy looks crappy on higher resolutions though, I saw it on 640x480 once and was like 'wow, that looks incredible!' - on my res setting its just a couple of blurry marines...)

GhostlyPea

1024*768*32

OPEN GL

works best for me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

BeRzErKeR

OpenGL 1024x768

Runs a little slow at times, but well enough so that I don't need to change to 800x600.

Iced_Eagle

1024*768 OpenGL <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> works wonders on a Geforce4 TI4200 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> i used to have it OC'ed but now i undid it cause it was gonna fry :O

Ice

1600*1200 OpenGL, smaller just blow my eyes out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Like the refreshrate problems with WXP at the moment...

Maus

1280x960 16bit GL. It's the highest I can go and maintain a near-constan max framerate on my new comp, though sometimes I go to 1600x1200 for the prettiness.

Nil_IQ

600 X 800 X 32bit

Methinks I should turn 32 bit colours off and make my resolution higher.

boobs!

640x480 software renderer, tho 1600x1200x32 OpenGL looks and runs a lot better, plus on the 54" HDTV it look darn nice too...

FireStorm

OpenGL 1024x768x32

ZycaR

PC 400MHz celeron + Voodoo3 3000 + 128MB SDRAM
(my old PC, but now it have my small brother)
1024x768x16 (10 - 40 FPS)

PC XP1800MHz AMD + ATi 9100 + 128MB SDRAM
(my new PC)
1024x768x16 (always 100 FPS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )

Ollj

800x600
1600x1200 makes the text and icons to small though i could live with that i like small res with bigger cartoonisher text more.

Tyrain

I would really like to use 1600x1200 but my monitor only takes 12xx*7xx*32 so its:

OpenGL
12xx*7xx*32

lolfighter

1280x960x16 OpenGL
Works fine with a GeForce II MX.

Cantide

1280x960, OGL. Runs more than fine on my Athlon XP 2100+ with Radeon 9500 Pro.

Pr0phecy

Direct3d
640x480

and people plz stop talking about ur super good computers,make me wanna punch u in the face for being rich <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

nthing

I play with:
<b>Software - 1x1x1</b>
The picture is a little blocky but I get 100fps! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Nah only kidding (OpenGL - 1024x768x32)

Jabba_The_Hunt

1024*768 4x antialiasing, 8x antisotropic filtering, texture sharperning, plus max mip mapping (one of the gl_texture options).

tbh aiming is easier in lower resolutions, but I dno't want to waste my geforce 4 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

ZupiCo

1024*768*32, no v-sync, antialias or anisotropic filtering, can't turn that on with my crappy radeon 9700 pro, my fps gets way too low. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Actually, it was found out before 1.0 that software people can't run NS ANYway, and the skulk is getting a slightly increased fov in 1.1(option).
