Yeah I've found NV drivers after 56.64 to be trouble with 440BX.
Re: VDX-drivers for Audigy 2 (not ZS!!)
Posted on 2020-11-02, 19:44
Yeah with my Audigy 2 ZS CD, Setup installs the WDM drivers by default but also installs a program (shortcut in Start Menu) that will switch you to VXD later if you like. The upside with VXD drivers is games tend to work better, the downside is some of the card's features are unavailable such as the …

Well, I have DirectX 9.0c installed on this build (the latest avaliable for win98se anyway) and I never encountered this issue with the 2041 driver. By blow up what do you mean? I've read about crashes and hangs when trying to play a game the second time in a row after closing it with >DX7.0a ver …

AC-3 audio is actually supported in Aureal Vortex 2 driver v2041, though not in v2015. Also, I did some testing with Aureal Vortex 2 and positional audio and reverb sounds different in some games in v2015. For example, in Deus Ex with v2041 I was getting weird reflections for some sounds (eg: the …

So is this really all the difference in visuals vQuake has? If you're not aware of it, VQuake is basically a hardware rasterized version of the software renderer. They did this because Verite V1000 wasn't really designed to do z-buffering and takes too big of a speed hit with it. Try running …

Moved the thread over to Marvin/Video. VIA AGP instability may be the problem. If it's running AGP 2x-4x, see if you can force the card to AGP 1x by the system BIOS. Otherwise get the Matrox Technical Support Tweak Utility and force it to 1x. https://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/utils/tech_sup/2002/ Also …

That's not true. You can use soundfonts and Alchemy works with it. It also has CMSS3D to downmix multichannel sound to headphones nicely. Everything is there minus gameport because that's not supported after XP. I'm pretty sure its firewire port is still functional too.

Yeah I think it is one of the best supported sound cards, but that is mostly because the community pressured Creative to keep it supported. They tried to abandon Audigy when Vista was released. Look up some of the history with Daniel K and Creative.

I use it with headphones and I think it's pretty clean. Certainly when compared to Audigy 1 or Live.

That's not just an issue with Quake 3, that particular sky texture or OpenGL. Obvious blockiness can be spotted in other places, like here on lightmaps in Unreal Tournament (D3D renderers). I think that it's not an issue with how mipmaps are sampled (which you are referring to), but with linear …

I played with a lowly GT 730 (GK208 DDR3 edition) awhile back and it seemed to be as fast or faster than the X850 XT when I tried it with Dark Messiah. That is a wee tiny card. Lots of cheap but powerful options for old gaming.

That is the driver Daniel K has in the new 7.0 pack. And you can optionally have the various control panels as well. Plus the pack works for XP thru 10 so it's very convenient.

Radeon 9500/9700, which lack trilinear optimization in hardware AFAIK, and the Radeon X1000 series set to HQ AF should be quite clean. X1000 HQ AF has actually been shown to be superior to the filtering of their DirectX 10/11 cards. But that Quake 3 sky might be more than just a texture filtering …

Yeah remember the DX10 and later cards can't do any dithering at 16bit color so those games would look awful. And it certainly isn't going to bring you any fog table emulation for those DX5 games that use that. FX 5500 would have you covered. DGVoodoo 1/2 should do Glide games well on a 750 Ti. …
