Title: FF7 8bit geforce 6600
Post by: corpse on 2006-02-06 19:42:39

Hi

I've just replace my radeon 9600 with this card hoping I would be able to use  8bit textures. But I've turned them on using rivatuner, but the test still fails in ff7config. is this feature not supported by this card?

It's not.
Look at the FAQ.  You should be able to get around this issue with the 1.02 patch.

8bit pallet is more of a driver thing than a video card thing. There were a few driver version on the Nvidia side of things that got it right a few times (back in the Geforce 3 days)....but lately, it's been broken.

Also if Rivatuner hasn't been updated for the said driver, it most likely won't do anything. It won't have control over the switch. That is most likely what happened. If you say you enabled it and the test says fail.

Anyway 8bit pallet isn't a problem with FF7PC. The TNT patch is really an 8bit pallet bypass patch. The TNT patch doesn't work unless it Fails that test.

I just meant I ticked nivdia 128.

Although someone works out how to get 8bit pallet working on this card, I would be gratefull to find out how.
