Ever wanted to run crysis fear and all those new games but dont have a grapahic card. You neednt spend money on buying one i'll tell you how.
U just need to have the required ram and a nice prcessor.
Link of 2 softwares (free ) which will run ur game by emulating graphic card

".... SwiftShader is the world's fastest pure software 3D renderer with DirectX® 9.0 class features, including support for advanced graphics features such as Shader Model 2.0, predication, floating point rendering, stenciling, and much more. SwiftShader is built to provide the same APIs that developers are already using for their games and applications. This makes it possible to directly integrate SwiftShader into applications without any changes to source code. SwiftShader can render games as complex as Half Life 2 entirely in software.

SwiftShader performs between 50 and 100 times faster than Microsoft's Direct3D® Reference Rasterizer in tests with sample applications and can achieve performance that surpasses low end integrated graphics hardware in many cases. SwiftShader achieves this unprecedented level of performance by dynamically compiling highly optimized code special to an application's 3D rendering needs. SwiftShader is currently available for x86 CPUs with Intel's SSE multimedia instruction set extensions. SwiftShader runs on Microsoft Windows 98 and higher, or on Linux through TransGaming's Cedega portability technology. SwiftShader can also be used on MacOS X in conjunction with TransGaming's Cider technology. ... "

@darkknight Great software! Faster than Direct 3D Rasterizer? Nice find darkknight! Good job.

@KPower Mania, Offtopic: dude, we know they're.. well... okay, nice.. but.. do you mind not showing off those smileys?

dark knight I LOVE U

:mad: DUDE ITS NOT WORKING. I tried it with Top Spin 1 which needs vertex shader 1.1 that i don't have. The initial movies load well but the moment they ge oner and the menu comes up the windows error report pops up and forces me to close the game.

I tried it with Most Wanted also and it is still the same thing.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

This software can only manage one or two games. Why do you think people buy eXpensive graphics cards ?

Anyways, carry on:razz:

Buy a dedicated GPU. And by chance, if you are ignoring my posts, then no-one can help you coz a ****ing software cant match the performance of a deicated GPU.

oh come on Kpower..................just coz u have a dedicated GPU and didn't know of this stuff bfore u spent a lot on ur card, it doesn't mean we can't have hopes does it??

I am goin to buy one but its gonna take time and i wanna play the game in between.
Is that 2 much 2 ask

and i thought tht since there is a way to run a game tht i thought was impossible 2 run on my machine there must be sime way to boost its FPS

I dont pick fights uselessy and nor I'm embarassed by spending so much on a dedicated GPU coz there is a software which is suppose to perform as much as my card :)lol: rofl) and neither am I showing off.

Carry on. :)

@kpower stop using those smilies so much. Btw i wont just laugh on people saying a software can match performance of a dedicated gpu. I will rofl :D .height of n00biness :lol:

It may be true that it is 50-100x faster, but considering the puny performance of even the mightiest of proccy's when compared to gpu's in FLOPS, it may just be able to run crysis @ 800x600(speculation, though a bit informed one,w/o IGP),low quality on a QX9650.(for that price, u can buy a 4870 + a good cpu). So, its obviously not meant for even the casual gamers(not even a 8600gt replacement), but maybe useful in some other applications.

Dudes i think it is not about competing the performance a gfx can deliver.....But it is abt the coolness of running the game and fooling the game engine.....Nevertheless it is worth a try....!!!

I guess...this is something similiar to emulation.

1. SNES
2. NES
3. Playstation 1
4. Virtual DVD Drive.
5. And now this..what ever it is..but seems messy....!

Software written to behave like hardware....though worth a try..for those who want to...but it will never beat a standard GPU.

As per the initiation post for this thread. "can achieve performance that surpasses low end integrated graphics hardware in many cases.".

Am sure..it taxes the CPU (of course it does)... :)
