Re: The inverse Quake III benchmark

Well that and Rage Pro released in March where Riva 128 launched at the end of August. That doesn't seem like much now, but back then that was basically half a generation. If Riva 128 didn't significantly outperform the older competition it would have been DoA. Especially so after NV1, no one …

i am not that interested in rage pro due to mediocre performance(about 2/3 of the riva128), and sometimes texture filtering doesn't work(blocky surfaces). however, it has both d3d and opengl support in win2000, which is something that sis6326, rendition2200, permedia2, i740, savage3, trident9880 and …

The most intense demo that I know that runs on vanilla Doom is the Hell Revealed II MAP32 TAS UV-Max demo. Grab the following: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/themes/hr/hr2final for the WAD https://dsdarchive.com/files/demos/hr2final/13775/h232x423.zip for the demo itself Run with doom2.exe -file …

I'd probably extend it to software GL drivers. SGI's OpenGL and their CosmoGL driver (found in the Cosmo VRML browser plugin) can be faster than Microsoft GDI OpenGL driver (which is also SGI-based but predates their later optimizations), especially at 8-bit color but Q3 can't allocate a palette …

the slowest quake3 performance possible is not difficult to obtain: slowest card with official opengl support is rendition1000. however, i have only tested it with a p3-850 and got ~2.0fps, because i didn't have very slow platforms at that time. *update: i dug up a rendition1000+winchip-100 result …

I wish DOS benchmarking wasn't so dependent on synthetic tests. Unfortunately, games for DOS that can be readily benchmarked are rare. This thread did come up with some though: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=46319 thepirategamerboy mentioned Space Simulator which I had forgotten about. I do …

chips 82c435/436 based vga card?

Posted on 2025-04-07, 02:36

according to datasheets, chips 82c435/436 is an ega chipset, while 82c441/442 is a vga chipset. i have seen some 82c435/436 cards with both 9pin and 15pin header in china, but don't see any ramdacs on the card, so i believed that they are just ega output converted to vga header. but then i found …

ati 28800-5 wonderxl problems

Posted on 2025-03-28, 11:08

testing an ati 28800-5 wonderxl(comes with 512kb and i have filled up to 1mb), and encountered following issues: in dos, univbe detects it but would only support up to 800*600*256c and 640*480*15bpp modes, no 1024*768*256c or 800*600*15bpp modes. in windows98, i used the built-in ati vga wonder …

Re: PCI Graphics Roundup - DOS

as i expected, the cirrus5446 performed decently despite being a cheap card. but did you say that its 1mb? i can see that its a stb nitro64 with 4 dram chips in the picture, and i think each of those chips are 512kb. the 5446 is also the last pure 2d card from cirrus, save for the extremely rare …

5 years of et4000ax

Posted on 2025-03-17, 15:05

i used to have two et4000ax cards, one generic and one everex vram, but both are from year 1990 without 0wait mode or hicolor ramdac. and now, i finally got another et4000ax with both 0wait mode and truecolor ramdac. while its not the fastest isa card due to lacking bitblt(w32i is much better but …
