Same here 64 MB..

It´s a good graphic card still can play ut 2004 with over 55 frames with it

Yes, these cards are great

But why do you have a (Creative) there ?

Because the card was made by Creative ?

Well, doesn't make any sense....

but it was made by nvidia

Yes, but only the chipset, Nvidia makes graphic chipsets, but not the graphic cards....

The chipset was made by NVIDIA, the card itself was manafactured and released by Creative.

Got a 9800 Pro, 9700 Pro (lending it to my youngest brother), 9500 and an old Creative 3DBlaster Annihilator Pro (GeForce DDR).

so.. most of us have chosen what type of card we have..

Now how is the graphics system going? any ETA for its implementation?

nVidia GeForce 2.

Why does the graphics card matter? If you're using OpenGL / SDL, then it's hardware agnostic.

Different graphics cards have different capabilities

AND

FYI, just to make some update, AFAIK there is noone working on new graphics system so far (and if he is, he is out of touch with the rest of the team at #openttd for at least three weeks). And I personally think we need more things to work on now, and the new graphics system would only make things much more complex (also, we don't even have artists for the old simple system).

So I don't see much movement in this and I doubt there will be any in near future. And graphics format (GRF) is not at all tied with the rest of the system. We are now working on supporting the TTDPatch GRF extensions (also [incorrectly] known as "NFO files") and then moving to a new format (probably PNG with custom data chunks containing the game data). This move _will_ have some implications (ie. support for real alpha or more than 256 colors), but they won't mean any revolution in the current graphics system and I doubt we'll see any anytime soon.

It's a older post, but ...
@MagicBuzz

First, only some graphic cards since GeForce even have a GPU ...

Smaller CPU are 4 bits (your keyboard, mouse or HiFi use on CPU of this type).
8 bits is 8086
16 bits is 8286
32 bits is 386/486/Pentium
And now some 64 bits known as inatium exists too.

But for dedicated cards such as graphic cards, CPU do same computation on a large amount of data, so most of them they can handle much bits. Some professional graphic cards are equiped with up to 512 bits GPU, and there will be with 1024 bits GPU in no time.

Second:
- 4 bit CPUs aren't used anymore. Keyboard and HiFi have 8 bit CPUs, a mouse has none.
- 8086 is 16 bits.
- (80)286 too.
- 32 bits is right

- 64 exist since 1990.

And CPUs on graphic cards or GPUs can handle huge amounts of bits only internally. A Pentium 4 could do 128 bits, but the data bus to outside is only 32 bits wide

I don't want to be wiseacre, but some things where just wrong

You're probably thinking about SIMD, which allows some operations to be done on 128 bits, but it's not quite the same. It's in addition to the existing 32-bit instructions, and a bit more limited. The Pentium 4 still does everything natively at 32 bits.

Yes, i meant SIMD with 128 bit

But my IA-32 architecture handbook says, that it also can process 64 bit integers (long long), since Pentium [dunno] *g*

. . . since Pentium III, when Intel introduced MMX, their first attempt at SIMD . . .

edit: It may be that floating-point operations are 64-bit also, but I'm not sure.

One thing:
MMX was introduced between pentium 1 and pentium 2. Pentium 3 introduced SSE which was like MMX, except that it could deal with floating point values, not just integers, and had a hack which allowed it to just about cope with 128-bit values.

Yeah, you're right.
