Programs to test D3D

by J C

Hi all, I've been following the recent work on D3D and decided I would give a couple of benchmarks/demos I had around a go. Pleasantly I found that they actually start up now and display some stuff on screen! Before the recent patches they would fail completely when starting the actual D3D stuff. I'm not sure if you're aware of these programs or not but I figured I would pass on the URLs to you as they might be of help. This first is a demo called Bleam: http://www.bluespoon.com/banjoh/ This page has a binary of the demo and source code as well. The second is an older benchmark/demo called Tirtanium: http://www.tirtanium.de/prog3d.html The homepage doesnt seem to have the binary anymore so here's a direct link to a mirror: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/3dfiles/tweakfiles/benchmark/tirta190.zip Both display stuff on screen and will run through to the end with no crashes. Justin Chevrier PS. Great work guys! _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

And perhaps it's not our top priority, but I think if we can encourage folks to tighten the code, that would be a Good Thing (TM).
