Does this graphics card work with Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition (3.1)

[xAbraKaZebra]

My card is an AMD Radeon HD 7670M some have said that it does work, but others say no. Can someone please help me?

 

 

Please excuse me if this is in the wrong section or anything, I just really need help!

I am not sure what version of OpenGL leadwerks uses,

 

Your Onboad Video Chipset should support OpenGL 4.2.

 

I would reference this with the System requirements on steam.

 

Just double Checked the system requirements. It should work.

I have an older Radeon HD card and it works so I think your fine.

 

Graphics

OpenGL 4.0 deferred renderer with uniform lighting model supports any number of lights, all casting soft dynamic shadows.

Up to 32x hardware MSAA makes rendered images incredibly sharp and detailed.

Full support for vertex, fragment, geometry, and tessellation shaders.

Dynamic megatexture terrain provides fast rendering of terrains with many layers.

Hierarchical hardware occlusion queries provides fast visibility testing.

Hardware tessellation for dynamic real surface displacement on the GPU.

Normal mapping with specular and cubemap reflections.

Instanced rendering allows fast drawing of large volumes of objects.

Hardware skinning provides fast skinned animation.

Deferred transparency with multiple overlapping layers of shading.

Real-time mesh modification.

Trilinear and up to 16x anisotropic filtering.

Blend and transition animation sequences.

Extract animation sequences in the editor.

Thanks for your help guys/girls. I am having one other problem which is why I focused on getting that out of the way. I am confronted by an error. "Failed to initialize Graphics. Your hardware may not be supported." I have looked at other pages but they seem to have nothing other than loose ends. Also it might be worth adding that I also have an Intel HD Graphics 4000, whether that is conflicting with the my Graphics card I am unaware of.

You may want to post this in the bug reports section.

In the same computer? O.o Well you could always remove one to see if it is the issue

If you install the Intel graphics drivers it will work, though it might be using the integrated chip instead of the discrete GPU. I would actually install both the ATI and Intel driver, because I saw on Nvidia setups the switching didn't work with older drivers.

It's an integrated graphics card - people tend to slap a dedicated one in either because of output options or speed.

 

The quick fix would be to disable the intel gfx card in bios (if it lets you) the downside to that is you cannot use it to offload calculation on ( opencl, etc )

[xAbraKaZebra]

everything is definitely update. One of my friends, he's really, really good with Computers and stuff, sat there and went through it with me. I updated my drivers and stuff.

i always forget about those because i never buy a board with integrated

It's bultin to all recent Intel cpus iirc

You can also find a program called GPUCapsViewer and it will display your OpenGL capabilities.

 

Also, Leadwerks creates a log file here:

"C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Leadwerks/Leadwerks.log"

 

If you post the contents of that file we can see what GPU is in use and what OpenGL version it supports.

[Tim Shea]

On my laptop, Leadwerks and Leadwerks games have to be run with the discrete GPU, even though the Intel HD 4000 supports OpenGL 4. This means finding the executable and selecting a checkbox for "Run with High Performance GPU" in the properties.

[xAbraKaZebra]

Wow, never thought I would get this much help guys. Thanks so much!

Here is the contents discovered in the directory you listed.

 

 

 

Initializing OpenGL4 graphics driver...

 

OpenGL version 400

 

GLSL version 400

 

Device: Intel® HD Graphics 4000

 

Error: Failed to create background context.

 

Failed to initialize graphics. Your graphics hardware may not be supported.

[Kavex]

From what it looks like it's trying to open up using integrated card.

 

Since you are using Radeon HD 7670M then look in your bois and see if you can disable the intel one. Also might be able to just set it to discreet.

I have a question, but it maybe more of a joke for others. I have a Intel HD Graphics Family Card. Is there any hope that I can run Leadwerks?

what version is your card 3000,4000. It just has to support opengl 4.2

[wdna]

Most of the new Intel HD GPUs support OpenGL 4.0, with the appropriate drivers installed.

You can find information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units

 

btw, Leadwerks 3.1 also works on Geforce 740M (laptop)

[AudiDJ]

The version is HD Graphics 3000. Will that work? And what happens if it is lower than OpenGL 4? Will it still run it? etc.

According to this review the Intel HD Graphics 3000 only supports OpenGL up to version 3.0. If your supported OpenGL version is below 4.0 Leadwerks won't run.

Thanks for the help. Im going to upgrade to a new laptop (making one myself).

Nop, seems like it does not support OpenGL 4.0

[mspike]

Stupid question, any way to start the program on linux with Intel card ?

Thanks in advance !

Its an - Intel HD Graphics 4000, so I think opengl version should be okay...

[Josh]

Unfortunately, Intel does not support OpenGL 4 with their Linux drivers, even though the hardware is capable of it.

Meh, too bad. Anyway I have an other machine to work with, so this wont be in the way Thansk for the fast reply.
