Thumbs up run nVidia's Dawn demo with your ATI cards!

Yup, you heard me right. Here's the page from rage3d explaining it:

It's getting hit hard so it's really slow. I've mirrored the OpenGL wrapper up on my site, you can download it below.

It works! I ran it and it looked really really nice. Best demo I've ever seen. I'll upload a screenie in a bit.

It says on Rage3d that it only runs on ati r300 and r350. I don;t see why it won't run on a 9500, its a dx9 part. Not fair.

Doesn't the 9500 use the R300 chipset?

Correction, I did get it to run on my 9500pro. It crashed the first two times I tried but then it ran fine after that.

I only had 2x aa and af on. I really wasnt blown away. I was expecting a bit more after watching that japanese shader one with the marbles. I wasnt really that impressed with Dawn, especially after how big everyone built it up to be.

Actually, isn't the Radeon 9500 based on the r300 core? If so, then it should be able to run the demo just fine.

[EDIT]

Didn't see the updated post -- my mistake.
