I don't
use the toolset however, but point source lights seemed to work in game
on my old amd card. Wouldn't mind some more info/expanation on amd
cards and point light shadows and if the newer southern island (7000
series) cards will be affected by it.
They don't. Try
placing some light sources that cast shadows in an interior. No shadows
on AMD cards. It's not only my observation as a builder, everyone I
talked to on my PW sees no point light shadows. Most people simply don't
notice it because they have no idea they're there, only when you show
them a screenie taken on a nvidia card they go Oooohhh.
As long as I
can't afford a new card (as mentioned above, the GF 560 Ti would be the
one I'd go for, but I need a new comp for it as well), I'm going
through the pain of popping my old 8800GT in for building and switch
back to the AMD for other games. Major pain in the rump.
Hmmm.... Are campfires considered point light shadows? I'm pretty sure they cast inky shadows all over the place. And the lamps in Neverwinter did as well. I can always go check on my other computer which has a wimpy 4670 in it, but won't have the time until the weekend. My 4870 is in mothballs right now.
Currently I'm running a 560ti with a core2duo 3Ghz. Why can't you run it with your current computer? Only have AGP slot? I'm assuming not since I don't think the 8800GT had AGP. (Don't throw out that AGP by the way. I still use mine in the second slot next to my 560Ti for physX. Its not a great card for it, but it makes games like Mafia playable with physx on - which it wasn't before putting the 8800GT back in and using it as dedicated physX processor).
