Re: DOSBox running slow with GF9
Posted on 2009-04-10, 07:51
Geforces were always weak with real-time palette changes in 8-bit color. It isn't just the 9 series affected by this. It also happens to GF2 and it has done this for years, SDL or not. 24/32-bit accellerated output modes such as opengl in dosbox will get around this palette speed issue. ATI doesn't …

good luck with those. compaqs tend to have the most unreliable adapters ever and their batteries don't age well. I learned the hard way. Don't take the adapter to a lot of places often 😒

Might you be running an ATI graphics card, by any chance? I've heard those seem to have speed issues when modifying palettes. You have them switched; that's an nvidia problem, not ATI but yeah, nvidia cards do suck at the 8-bit color, it'll be better if you use a output mode that requires 32-bit …

Re: Geforce 6200 in older systems...

You don't want a FX5200. Ever. It's as bad as everyone says (but I think it's even worse considering it's slower than gf2mx). It'll be the worst video card you'll ever purchase. Savage4 is more fun to play with than it.

T&L acceleration doesn't do jack for a K6 system. Trust me I've tried it all. It will still be too slow with those games. Quake 3 with a K6-III+ 600 and a GeForce FX 5600 is still laughable (and unstable). Q3A doesn't use HW T&L though, games must have explicit support for it to use it. It's not …

Hmm, only 13385 3DMarks'01 with a Geforce 7600 GS? My previous main rig was a socket 754 Sempron 2600+, Asus K8V-X mobo (VIA K8T800 chipset), 512 Mb DDR400, 80 Gb WD and a GeForce 6200. Around 10500 3DMarks'01, AFAIR. Roughly ditto but a x850, got 18500 3dmarks01 Sempron64s can really be pushed to …
Re: Underclocking Pentiums?
Posted on 2009-03-30, 18:18
Toshiba laptops i've used have a 'low' processor setting in the BIOS which simply halves the MHz, which is actually quite convenient (But this is not automatic). That's the only good official underclocking for those I know 🙁
