w00t! New Hardware Goodness

linux : by Paul — December 30th 2004, 05:26PM

Well I just got myself a new Leadtek GeForce 6600GT video card, with the intent of running Doom 3 in Linux.

Verdict: AWESOME!!

The video card installed without a hitch (I'm running Slackware 9.1) and Doom3 loads up in true native Linux mode (no WineX or other emulation in the way) and is fully accelerated. Yay for id supporting Linux!!

/that is all

Update: w00t! Got the waterblock installed on the new card (hooray for Arctic Silver Epoxy), so my system is still nice and quiet. I'll post some pics soon.
