Shader Model 3.0 is glitchy [Splinter Cell Chaos Theory]
Posted on 2020-07-15, 10:39
SO recently I got my hands on a retail copy of Chaos Theory. I installed it on my Windows 10 machine and updated it to the latest version. I ran some benchmarks with SM 1.1 and it worked fine. Then I ran on SM 3.0 mode and it worked fine on first run. From any subsequent runs, there are colour and …

Hello, I have been able to run this game successfully on any Windows up to XP, but not properly in 7. My fixes for Fighters Anthology and ATF Gold somehow doesn't fully affect USNF '97. With or without SingleProcAffinity+Shrinker the mouse is laggy and there's a huge delay in the keyboard response. …

Officially Audigy 2 dropped dos but you can use modified Audigy drivers http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1383&menustate=0 They are really meant for a Win9x PC booting into dos mode (Dos7) Don't know if they work in Dos6.22 Definitely no Win3x support though Audigy 2 seems to have …
New entry level GPU vs Old flagship GPU vs Old Games
Posted on 2020-06-20, 07:35
The title is self explanatory. I want to see a comparision of new entry level and old flagship GPU in the old games. For example, GT 710 vs 6800 Ultra GTX 1050Ti vs GTX 680 I was actually doing an OCed benchmark of GT 710 at +300Mhz Core and +300MHz memory. In FEAR, GT 710 OCed surpassed the 7800 …

Re: Using old sound cards like Sound Blaster 16,AWE32, Gravis Ultrasound on Windows NT

I think the same. Starting with Vista, ISA support was pretty much removed except for a sub-set of ISA-PnP (in order to support system devices on LPC bus, such as temp sensors). Drivers for Sound Blaster 16, MPU-401 and Gameport also were victims of this removal (support for DirectMusic/DirectSound …

I know drivers for Sound Blaster exists at as far as XP, so as long as your card is Sound blaster compatible you'll get sound. Never run ISA cards on Vista or above so don't know past that point. Later OS's it's no different to say older graphics cards. If your lucky a driver written for previous …

As the title suggests, I would like to know how these old sound cards which don't have any drivers for new Windows NT OS, run. For example, if a person upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP and had a old such sound card, he would now have got any driver for Windows NT. So how does the card worked …
