Graphics card question for everyone

Who still uses a card that has to have square textures (Voodoo card etc)?

even if cards support non square texture i beleave its still faster for a card to deal with if they are square, i dont know a reason to use non square textures anyway? Sorry i know this dont answer your question.

a friend of mine use a voodoo , but in an old Pc .
i know nobody else .

Pete, are you confusing square textures with power of two textures? He doesn't mean that.

IIRC it was old Voodoo cards Voodoo3 etc and early NVidia/ATI cards. Just was wondering if anyone was still using them in thier main games machine.

I thought they disappeared about 5 years ago. I still see the odd geforce 2/3 but not much worse than that.

I just retired a PC with a voodoo3 card a few months ago.

My Nvidia Geforce 9500GT doesn't seem to like non square textures in Giles...I think.

Hmm..can you clarify this, in order to understand what we talking about..

512x512-----> Square texture
512x256-----> Non square

Is this what you folks means by 'square' and 'non square' ??

I know that my Vid Card definitely does not like non-power of 2 sized textures (ie it definitely won't let me use 123x456 or some other garbage texture size as a texture), and I'm fairly confident it doesn't like non square sized textures (256x128 as an example) but will need to look into it. Won't be able to report back on that for a while since I'm not in front of that PC and no net connection where that one is anyway.

Yup thats the one, some cards hated those textures
