Perhaps you're just testing in a more intensive spot, I don't know - could you take a measurement there? He insists on testing in the non-standard non-default resolution of 320x2 4 0 which I don't even like. I'm not changing my methods for one guy. The additional 40 rows of pixels make all the …

Be sure to use around 7000 fixed cycles or it'll go too unfairly fast. This is one game you can easily cheat on with speed provided you don't collide too much and spin out of controlNO!. The faster the computer, the faster the car 😀

Yeah, same. A Voodoo2 sorts it all out until 2002 which by then even a Geforce2MX will keep you on until 2005.

Subwar 2050 (DOS) had additive 3d headlights which for 1993/1994 IS PRETTY GOD DAMN IMPRESSIVE. It impresses me more than Archimedian Dynasty, the graphics are very Playstationish 🤣. Lookup tables are the coolest things ever! The earlier they were used, the more it fascinates me...

DOS - don't bother hunting specific old versions, just get a MS-DOS 6.xx variant and forget about it Video card - S3 Trio 64v+ 2MB PCI should be enough for everybody. Sound card - get a SB16. Some may even suggest a Waveblaster daughterboard for it, too CD-ROM - Just snag a Creative. 24x+ and faster …

The theme I hear in Linewars 2, reminds me of Jean Michelle Jarre Oxygene 2. All the music in LineWars II was originally done by the music tracking group U4ia, though I believe most, if not all of it, was modified just a little. It isn't just modified a little - its in its own unique format! It …

leileilol do you believe that Doom3's shader programs are written primarily with NV30's architecture in mind? No, because it looks fine on NV15 as well, sans minor 'heat' and glass refraction effects :) I'm not even sure if Doom3 uses shader programs all that much. Quake IV had more shader use than …

All the DX8 games, FLEW on my machine. Medal of Honour, Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, RTCW. 1600 x 1200, everything max, +60 fps. Only Splinter Cell on that list is a DX8 game (the rest are standard, DX7-ish level OpenGL relying heavily on HW T&L and compressed textures, and they also fly fast on a …

Far Cry didn't struggle on R9800 for me. The 6800 hadn't even come out yet when Far Cry released :) Doom3's a OpenGL game, and at a minimum actually requires DirectX 6... it doesn't use GLSL which is why the FX can run it without too much of a fault. Introduce OpenGL 2.0 to the FX series and they …

I thought GeforceFX sucked on non-SM2/DX9 too. I recall the Geforce2 GTS stomps it at 3DMark and Quake3... In some extreme slow situations, things only start to get playable at 320x240 X_X I had Prey going at 60fps+ at that res together with a cvar that made it use the older unspported "NV20 path". …
