Velocity9x: Verified working

The newest Intel GPU Velocity9x drives, and the furthest along: Direct3D with two texture stages, indexed draws, hardware culling and the guard band; OpenGL with transform and lighting on the card; and from 0.34.0 the DirectX 8 interface with pixel shader 1.1, cube textures, bump formats and DXT textures. 3DMark 2001 SE runs every test, Nature and both pixel shader tests included.

What has been tested

Direct3D with two texture stages, indexed draws, hardware culling and the guard band, DDI 7 by default; OpenGL with two texture units and transform and lighting on the card; the Glide 2 probe; DirectDraw on the blitter. 3DMark 2000, 3DMark 2001 SE, Half-Life (Direct3D and OpenGL) and Quake 3.

Known issues

  • 3DMark 2001 SE’s Nature draws its distant terrain and mountains white.
  • 3DCIF is not supported: it refuses every 3DCIF draw that uses a depth buffer.
