#3DS r4 driver/Matrox
2 messages in this thread
Hi. I just loaded 3ds4, on my computer w/ a Matrox Ultima 4MB graphic card. The
vibrant Graghic software only accepted my card at the lowest resolution. I
asked Matrox without answer so far. Can you tell me if there is some hope short
of buying a new graphic card. (I checked the updated Vibrant Drivers V1.0.8c3)
Thank You. Patricia
Patricia,
I have used MGA Ultima+ video cards before and haven't had a problem running
resolutions up to 1152×882 with 3DS4. Your message didn't include the size and
type of monitor you are using, but if you have a small monitor (14" or 15") you
might be limited by it's capabilities more than the video card. If you have a
17" or larger monitor you might need to download the latest drivers directly
from Vibrant's BBS. They revise & update their video drivers all the time so
they should have a fix for your card (although I don't know whether or not
Matrox is still making the Ultima cards anymore). Also, if you don't already
own it, Vibrant's "Liquid Speed" for 3D Studio is an excellent graphics
accelerator software that speeds up vector redraws in 3DS. Additionally, it
includes direct software support for almost every video card produced, incuding
Matrox Ultima cards. Their voice and BBS are numbers are:
PHONE: (512) 250-1711
BBS: (512) 918-3411
Drop me a note if you have anymore questions.
