Ever since I replaced my Thriller 3D with a GeForce 2 I have been very unhappy with GPL screen colors. It's just not the same quality. Everything else seems fine but GPL. Is it possible to get the vibrant colors back in GPL by adjusting the gamma? I'm considering building a GPL-only box with a V5500. Or is it possible to adjust the GeForce to get the same quality? For GPL only, is the V5500 still the best video card? Thanks. -Tony-
I did not notice any difference(in colors) going from a voodoo3 to a Geforce 2 mx400 "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I had a lot of poor graphics, the moth eaten trees, etc. till I found out about the 2nd version of the D3D rasterizer. I never really noticed any major colour differences though. Rafe Mc On Tue, 25 Dec 2001 22:36:24 GMT, "rik zeppelin" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Remember the early 3dfx versions of N2 and N99 were vastly inferior to the Rendition versions. Everyone complained about washed out colors with 3dfx. Although I can't say What properties to adjust, the d3d settings should be your target. Proably increase the gamma. Good luck. dave henrie "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If you get NvMAX there is a setting called "digital vibrance" which is supposed to bring out some much enhanced colours. I haven't really tried it much myself but others have said it's good. It just alters a hidden nVidia setting in the registry. Rafe Mc On Wed, 26 Dec 2001 00:27:23 GMT, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:
