The Tomb Raider demo in DOS does the same thing. Looks just like the GLQuake screenshot. I tried lowering the FSB down to 100MHz. Didn't help. Then I lowered the clockspeed to 600MHz, which didn't work either. On a side note, apparently my Shuttle AK35GT2/R let's me change the multi on my 1700+? Not …

Try running it in pure DOS. Download and run TOMB3DEM. It has all the 3dfx drivers already built in. This is a fantastic idea. I'll do that! What imperious said: Voodoo1 cards generally do NOT like fast systems/cpu's. I have a lot of these cards and not a single one would work on my Tusl2-c board …

So I've tried everything I can think of. Long searches online provided no answers. I got a Typhoon 3DMax and at first I honestly thought it was broken. Checkerboard graphical errors abounded in GLQuake and 3DMark99 . I've tried three different Socket A motherboards now, with either SiS or VIA …

Plus there are different types of vintage PC hardware collectors, just like any other collectible. Take the toy market for example. There are the ones that don't mind loose toys in "played with" condition, and there are others that must have them mint-in-box or mint-on-card. They're trying to …

Any guesses how much this Boxed Guillemot GeForce 256 DDR will go for? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guillemot-Hercules-3D-Prophet-DDR-DVI-GeForce256-DDR-COMPLETE-IN-BOX-RARE-/272712766227 I had some communication with this seller some weeks ago as he is not that far from me and we both share the …

You generally want to steer towards the 3.x range with that card under 98SE. What I would usually do is install a driver and load up UT2004 to see if the NVIDIA logo was rendered correctly. On newer drivers it does not.

Ok I take it back - the 5200 128-bit / 5200 Ultra look more efficient than GF4MX and are usually a good bit faster than GF3 Ti 200. http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/over2003/index.html I think at a certain point brute force fillrate just pushes past everything else. Dear god that collection of …

Just FYI... my FX 5500 PCI (not AGP, NOT PCIe) is faster than 5k in 3DMark 01 SE. Granted, I have 270MHz Core clock and 400MHz effective memory clock on DDR 128-bit bus, but still it's PCI slot card :D Lastly : First graphics card (that I bought), was FX 5200 128MB/128bit AGP for my Pentium III …

For some Games you have to use the right Driver Version... e.g. for CMR Rally on Win98SE i use one of the 44.xx versions. Other Driver versions have glitches in the Main menu. And with a FX5200 you can use dgvoodoo under win98 so you can play 3dfx games too, without a 3dfx card. Need For Speed 2 se …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBgEW5cZ_9o I took the liberty of doing a little investigating, and this video chronicles my results. In summary: This card (at least the one I have) really isn't good for much if you're on the hunt for a cheap retro card. But there's some silver lining for those who …

Were these ASRock boards really a hunk of junk? I am using an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 as my main computer now. The gaming performance benchmarks from Anandtech were pretty good. Anandtech reviews seemed pretty decent too. It uses the ULi chipset and also has AGP + PCI-E. It has this funny AGP-like AM2 …

Is it the same model SiS chipset which worked for another individual but not for you? I'm wondering if the issue is chipset-, motherboard-, BIOS-, or hardware-specific. In the case of the other user's SiS Socket A board, he wasn't specific on what chipset/brand the board was. There are certainly a …

This is sorely needed. I got a MAXX some time ago and only recently got it working, because it is SO picky about the chipset you use it with. Here's my experiences: Azza KT3-AV (VIA KT133A) - Unsuccessful Shuttle AK35 rev. 2 (VIA KT333) - Unsuccessful HP OEM Intel board (Intel i845g) - Unsuccessful …

Yeah, an earlier SB16 might act differently; there are some pretty significant differences between them. Maybe try a lower FSB to see if that changes anything. And changing BIOS settings like spectrum spread, ISA clock, ISA I/O wait/recovery time. Thanks for the suggestions. My board gives me lots …

Sadly no. This is my first swing at a DOS gaming desktop, so this was the motherboard I chose. I could try updating my chipset drivers, but I'm not sure that would have any effect in MS-DOS mode, would it? EDIT: Tried updating VIA chipset drivers, as well as the BIOS to the latest one I could find …

My motherboard is Socket 462 running a VIA KT133A chipset. It has one ISA slot, and it's the only board I own with one. I bought a CT2940 which exhibited crackling in the right channel when playing PCM sound effects (FM music seems fine). So I bought another one since they're cheap, and it does the …
