What is it?
Re2Flex provides the ability to set custom
modes beyond the usual few which are available on most cards. These normal modes (640x480,
800x600, 1024x768 each with a few refresh rate selections) do not take advantage of the
full capability of graphics cards or display monitors currently available. This results in
a less than optimal environment for game play. Re2Flex is an algorithmic approach to
generating display modes. This makes available almost any desired mode limited only by the
bandwidth limits of the graphics card and the monitor. On the Wicked3D board Re2Flex
breaks the 800x600 barrier for a single card and provides up to 1024x672 which is almost
the maximum available with the competitor's SLI 2 card configuration. With 2 Wicked3D
cards Re2Flex provides 1024x1024 resolution, the highest in the industry for Voodoo2 based
cards. On top of the custom resolution selection Re2Flex also allows selection of any
refresh rate in 1Hz increments. This lets you take full advantage of all the bandwidth
available in your display monitor.
The highest available resolutions!
With 4MB of frame buffer memory available to
support front, back, and z buffering 1024x672 (one board) and 1024x1024 (two boards) is
the largest number of scan lines available.
With non-standard resolutions, will
my game screen be distorted in any way?
Rendering of data is independent of
resolution, all objects are correctly proportioned. Quality and resolution of the
image is scalable without distortion.
What do we want developers to do?
Enumerate all modes available in DirectX and
make any modes reported available within your game to the user. Especially make available
modes above 1024x768. (Dont assume it will run too slow)
- Specifically make non-standard modes
available.
- Design your game to be scalable to any
resolution.
- Dont put any fixed size items in
the game.
- Let us do early testing of your game.
