AvP and other games that shouldn't be are just too damn bright on early Voodoo cards. All old Voodoos had a high default gamma, going from 1.7 to 1.2. Kind of ridiculous, but made sense for stuff like GLQuake that had no color control at all (enter TNT-era "GLQuake's too dark" complaints here, and …

320x240 is pretty close to actual VHS resolution. NO WRONG 720x240 (480i interlaced) != 320x240 plus you can deinterlace a good 720x480 image out of 30fps stuff I would use Virtualdub for capture, and my experience with BT878 is how unbearably noisy it was for video... try the others you've got …

Extreme Assault uses MMX for filtering the low resolution explosion sprites. Also wherever robertmo's getting his list... is a huge '[citation needed]'. The list will grow and more time will be spent debunking whether it supports it or not. I have a PowerVR PCX2 so obviously I can help on the …

yeah you'll want to go Intel if you wish to play a hi-res Quake software game. Now try loading fastvid up on the celeron 533 before running Quake and see it further curbstomp the k6-2 😀 It also excels at MMX implementation.

EVERYTHING is faster than the Rage Pro. There's still a benefit from adding a Voodoo2, such as the hand-optimized drivers at least the Voodoo2 is recognized as a secondary device and doesn't have to explicitly take over the primary. You'll be given a choice where applicable in D3D HAL configuration …

Yeah, try running Unreal Tournament on the Riva128. Oh wait, YOU CANT! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (actually you can through the Direct3D driver, but anything additive will appear as a low precision multiplicative blended black box) And all the 'realistic' lighting you speak of are all just 15-bit …

Can't just use the Realtek audio smart jack feature or so to select the output for any jack you use when you plug it in with the sound panel window up?
