Title: Can or can I not play FF7 PC in hardware mode on my 6600GT??
Post by: IconoclastDX on 2007-04-05 06:20:45

Ive read that some can and then others say that the 6xxx+ are not capable of 8-bit palette an that no amount of driver hunting will work.  I actually dont mind running it in software render but the fmvs are so slow and dithered it is nearly unwatchable.  For some reason, switching to hardware mode help the fmvs play like a dream but the game backgrounds are of course checkered and buggy.  Anyone know a straight answer for this one?

Thanks a bunch.

should work fine
with the latest drivers, using the TNT setting you should even be able to use 16x FSAA

i own a 6600GT myself so i know it works

You don't need 8-bit Palette support, the 1.02 patch bypasses this requirement.

Thx. I was able to get a driver that worked.  Took me a while though.
