ATI AIW 9800 Pro Mod

Has anyone modified the AIW to act as a FireGL card. How well does it work?
Do you loose the AIW capabilities if this mod is done ... or does the CAD
package see it an an open GL card?

 

You do realize this cards fails SW tests??

no I did not..., I have read elswhere of modifications to nVidia cards and
ATI consumer / gamers video cards which will allow them to be Open GL cards.
I am trying to find out if it is possible.

 

Check SoftFireGl at http://www.nvworld.ru/docs/sfgl_e.html
never tried, but the same guy does the SoftQuadro, which works.

 

They ARE OpenGL cards, but with "limited" features for SW. With
modifications you can remove the limitations.

 

That's awsome! has anyone successfully done this? What about the mobil
cards? Any soft hacks for them?

 

There is plenty of old discussions about SoftQuadro for example, you
should check them out. It's not a problem to "turn" GeForce to Quadro.
With Laptop that's usually little bit more tricky task.
