ATI Crowd Demo

ATI has released a new Radeon X800 based demo called Crowd. This demonstration shows the vertex shader processing power of the X800 being used to render a large crowd of soldiers (1400 in total) running across a rocky terrain. All of the models feature weighted skinned vertices and are independently animated.

3 Jun 2004 ~ 1:18am Camman does this demo only work on X800 cards? Ive seen it posted everywhere, how many people can even run it? Apparently my 9700 Pro cannot.
3 Jun 2004 ~ 1:30am Geeky1 By default, the .exe will only work on X800s most likely, yes. It'll probably work with a wrapper. You could try the ruby wrapper...

Actually, I shouldn't be laughing, because that was true for everything.
