Just saw this @ G256.com
The 3D Analyzer Tool was created and refined to overcome limitations posed by modern 3D Games and other Applications on several current mainstream 3D Cards. Basic functionality will equip non-T&L cards with a software substitute. Advanced functionality will enable User selectable 3D Features not available in many older Cards. Yet, this is presently achieved not by Emulation but by NUL-Rendering. This means, advanced 3D Features the Card is not capable of, are reported as available in Hardware, but have their calls intercepted and the respective 3D Features will not be rendered. These functions are based upon the premise and ideas, that :
3D Games can be launched, that otherwise would fail due to lack of Hardware support.
No 3D Game should solely rely on a few, isolated rendering features, and therefor loss of image quality by NUL-Rendering 'should' be minimal and acceptable in most cases.
I would recomment to experiment with it in your games or other 3D applications (i.e. 3D Mark2001SE). Download 3D Analyzer
