<div class="IPBDescription">In-Game Screenshots</div> Wanting to figure out just what the SmartShader function of my graphics board did, I decided to flip on a few and take a gander at some co_ maps. Take note, these are all <b>in-game</b> screenshots, with no photo editing at all - <a href='http://www.fftclan.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=313&st=0&' target='_blank'>take a look.</a>

    You're about to tell us what video card(s) let you do that.

    [edit]Last time I remember seeing something like that was <a href='http://www.cs.wisc.edu/graphics/Gallery/HijackGL/' target='_blank'>HijackGL</a>, and it didn't have as many options (nor were thay as good looking).

    I use an ATI 9800 Pro. I'm pretty sure the shader effects can be done with other cards as well.

    I wonder if you can mess around and add your own shaders. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have a GeForce VX900T, can I simulate these cool effects with it? Please provide a link to info if it is available. Thank you.

    In those shots with the edge detection.

    Is that using a Prewitt or Sobel edge algorithm? My guess is for a Sobel but I could be wrong.
    Its not a Canny algorithm I'm sure.

    I don't see an option to change my shaders (then again, someone said it's catalyst only, but before I switch my drivers...can someone tell me if it would be possible to switch the shaders on a (rather) outdated 9200?

    No. GeForces cannot do effects like this. And unless nVidia eats its hat and copycats, they won't be any time soon. The simplest answer is explained below.

    Also, R9200 and earlier have a reduced set of shaders... no Sketch or ASCII mode, among others, because they don't handle Pixel Shader 2.0.

    As well, nVidia cards DO NOT process PS2.0 instructions. No, not even the FX series. Their drivers take the PS2.0 stuff and translate it backward to PS1.4.. which is why nVidia cards are doing so abysmally in HL2 tests. It's another cheat. Just in this instance, it's a blatant 'sorry, no' rather than reduced image quality that SOME users might not notice.
    It's actually kind of funny... nVidia's pixel shader performance is in the bucket, but all of their hype when the FXes were coming out was about how powerful pixel shaders were. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
