by the way: hand1.ma has nearly 700K vertices, nearly 700K faces, nearly 1.4M triangles

 

Sorry if this has been asked but will this mod work with a 3870 or 3850? I'm going to be doing some CAD work in the coming months and was looking for a cheap way to get such a card. This seems to be the best route.

 

we might need further details and confirmation (it sounds dubious), but yes, it seems like someone got it working

nope, it ain´t dubious. it´s definitly working.

 

@schoko, since you have HP 8510 P, i was wondering if you have tried the patch
on any mobile 2700 gpu, FSC Amilo Xi2550 is looking good..

 

Well I softmodded my 3870 into firestream 9170 successfully but something isnt quite right. I can only manage 182 in maya specview 10 benchmark.

That, and I am trying to get this working in 64-bit xp now.
