SiS Integrated Graphics

IvanV · Oct 15, 2005, 02:22 PM

I have an ASUS A7S8X-MX mainboard based on SiS 741GX chipset with integrated graphics. The solution in question is SiS Real256E (which, if I am not mistaking, is a derivate of an old discrete solution, SiS315). Now, I don't expect wonders from it, and that PC was not meant for gaming when I built it, but some old games should work fine. The problem is that T'n'L capabilities are apparently not detected: 3DMark01SE says software T'n'L and the old UT works well (at about 50fps) but when there is a transparency effect on the screen, or minigun fire (lots of particles) frame-rate drops below 20 making the game unplayable. Is there a tool that might help me to check whether T'n'L is supported with the drivers I use (3.62, from the CD I got with the motherboard, latest version is 3.68) or anything else I should try?

Hi, did you ever find a solution to this problem?
