Just letting you guys know, I had the same problem and solved it with a multi-texture patch I had on a CD. It's designed for Voodoo 2 but the original voodoo also need it unless you use really old drivers. You can find it here: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/idgames2/planetquake/planetunreal/ …

Just out of curiosity, do you have some links to those reviews? 12500 sounds quite high to me.

The biggest problem with that gap is the graphics card. To have good compatibility with windows 98 games the fastest I would recommend is a Geforce FX card, it's just not very fast for windows XP games. You can use something like the 4CoreDual-SATA2 with both an AGP and PCI-E card but I think it …

Seems there is a 1000 fps limit. Only getting 868.4 fps at 2160p 16x AF 8x AA though 😵 Time for an upgrade I guess... I7-2700K @ 5Ghz 16GB DDR3-1866 CL9 1080 Ti

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, but I can copy and paste 😉 Any chance you can upload the source code for the initial version?

Just a heads-up. Motherboards of that era were mostly designed around using a top-down cooler that would also cool the VRM. That was the standard back then. This is why i dont use tower coolers or water on the 775 platform. Might want to make sure to get some airflow directly on the VRM or it could …

This sounds interesting. Does this work with any version of glide2x.dll? How hard would it be to implement writing values to a file on disk, initialized and stopped by e.g. scroll lock? And then do an average of the values (like Fraps)? I'll be putting together a Voodoo 2 SLI build when I have a bit …

EDO was apparently available before 1994, take a look at this study: http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/cd/MEMORY97/SEC02.PDF Specifically Figure 2-12 shows EDO having over 20% market share at the beginning of 1994. 20%, so basicly server market. That would be why i dont remember EDO before 1994. I …

The problem with Zip drives was getting other people to buy them. Mostly people copied fairly small files (like documents) or CD-ROM sized data (like programs/games). So a floppy drive and a CD-R was enough. Instead of a Zip drive i bought some cheap removable 5.25-inch HDD enclosures and gave those …

I do recall there were some people having problems with Geforce 2 cards on the BX chipset back in the day. Possible fixes: Use 1x agp speed, turn off sideband addressing, fast writes, video bios shadow, UCWC etc. I´m guessing the bios options of that motherboard are fairly limited though. You can …

Is this list supposed to be average/mid-range specs or more high-end focused? Right now it seems a mix of both, atleast to me. Also, i dont think EDO RAM was available until 1994.

I remember sticking with 128MB RAM until 2000 since games didnt need more than that, atleast in an optimized system. I would say 256MB for the high end limit. I bought a HDD in late 98, IBM Deskstar 14GXP. At 14.4GB it was the largest model, also one of the few 7200RPM models at that time. ATA-66 …

You also have to understand, back then games where made to run at 320x240 on common hardware. That was probably a fast 486/slow pentium when Duke Nukem 3D came out and a midrange pentium when Blood came out. 640x480 wasnt really viable until 3d accelerators came about (unless you liked counting …
