thank you for this I thought I was the only one that remembered the Radeon 8500 LE. I saw this video and compared it to Half Life 2 xbox port. Surprisingly the water in the xbox port of the game looks better than on the PC with an 8500 LE

Btw - the Radeon 8500 LE memory runs at 500 MHz (not 550). Typo, sorry.

GeForce4 MX did not support pixel shaders and this is bad. There were games that did not launch; there were no pixel shaders on the video card.

Hello, what software do you use to plot the graph during the gameplay ?
