I don't know, tried different games and only Thief II is crippled on skies. I need some examples of games that suffer from broken paletted textures on gf 6

Okay, i did it. First of all weird sensors with negative temperature values are gone. That's good :) Then I've got Motherboard temperature and External 1. Launched winrar (to give some load on CPU) and compared values with aida. Looks like external 1 is cpu. Can we rename it? No info on GPU …

I see no mention of this on the readme for either Thief games and this is the first time I've ever heard of this being the case It's a common knowledge that Dark Engine games were designed with texture palette in mind. And it's not really that uncommon too: Quake 2, Homeworld, Incoming, probably …

I think there was a similar thread somewhat recently in which people tried to find games that required paletted texture support. Any chance to point me on this thread? I just bought Toshiba Tecra S3 laptop with 6600Go and was "surprised" by crappy sky color in Thief II. As I read that's because …
Dithering emulation?
Posted on 2020-01-29, 10:04
I'm here with a very specific question. 16bit games used dithering to make colors look less banding-affected, my primary example is Thief II. For easy understanding just compare these two perfectly working Thief II screenshots. One with dithering (on Intel 4500): https://pp.userapi.com/c834301/ …

RivaTuner solved my issue. It shows temperature, clocks and allows OSD display. Plus overclock 😀

You know any other tool that will work as Aida but will show min max values? Cause I need this to understand how hot this chip becomes and Aida only shows current state.

Toshiba Tecra S3 hwinfo 6.20 gives improper readings from some sensors and doesn't have GPU data. AIDA64 has it. Check this: https://sun9-3.userapi.com/c857124/v857124190 … v0nWg8yTg0M.jpg

Were there any custom good drivers for ATI Rage Pro? I'm on a laptop with this card and Unreal 1 works like trash with lots of artifacts. And my laptop drivers are from 2000 and any other official driver I found was installing with messages that I'm installing the older drivers.
