Hi DARKWORLD

Did you also install the chipset drivers?
If I remember correctly they also had to install a driver for the AGP interface.

Hi!
Yup, just did it, still wont work.

Read the first few pages...
TeridKane stated similar (or exactly the same) problem - slowdown/stuttering on movie playback, he solved it by turning pbo on. I tried the same, but no use : \

But thanks for reply =)

Hi guys!
I've recently completed FFVII using this driver without any kind of issues.
But I got *some* troubles running FFVIII...
I cant even get past EIDOS logo, it just runs at 1 frame/10 seconds speed.
I am on pretty old PC as of right now (well, I am stuck with it for a little), but I dont think it could be an issue.

Installed old drivers, now shaders wont work. But with latest (for this card) drivers - shaders working but the issue remains the same.
Cfg on defaults, tho I tried to manipulate with settings some, it didnt work.

Code: [Select]

# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF8
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes

# allow FF8 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no
Any suggestions, please?
