Best graphics plugin?

[Millium]

Currently, what is the best graphics plugin available for Project 64?

[Clements]

Depends on your video card primarily, and which game you are playing.

- Glide64 probably supports the most games with fewer graphical glitches right now. It supports motion blur, hardware framebuffer, and dithered alpha among others.

- Jabo's D3D8 1.6 works well with most of the popular games and has slightly lower requirements.

- Rice's Video/Glide64 can use Hi-resolution texture replacements. Rice's Video is required to play a handful of games properly and at a playable frame rate.

- Direct64 supports hardware framebuffer, dithered alpha and overscan simulation, and works well with the games it can support if you have a good enough video card.

- glN64() works very well with certain video cards that aren't so good with the other plugins that require pixel shaders.

- Jabo's D3D6 1.5.2 works well with old video cards and integrated graphics.

unfortunately there are several known issues regarding HWFBE on cards newer then the GeForce FX

i would have to say, that now, the best plugin available is Glide64 Wonder ++ with the included glide > opengl wrapper
