Re: Matrox G450 PCI any good use?

Posted on 2023-01-25, 10:50

Beware that there are at least three "Matrox G450" cards: Matrox Marvel G450 eTV Matrox Millennium G450 - this is the one you want for gaming. Avoid the others. Matrox G450 MMS Is it because the MMS has the bridge? What is wrong with eTV I wonder? But for gaming beware of G450 LE, because those …

I tested it in 3d (3dmark suite) and it's noticeably slower than the agp version, I found out the pci version has decreased clock speed compared to the agp, despite using nice 5ns memory, the clock seems to be tied with the core and I wasn't able to find any utility for some overclocking. Please, …

Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

I tinkered with palettes while using SiS300. It has the keyword 8Palettes in the registry which can enable RBG PAL4 and RBG PAL8. The control panel however warns you, that enabling this disables gamma correction. I have a feeling this restriction was common to all cards and is a reason why it is …

The inverse is also true, at least for the hardware I am using to write this message. It has FOGTABLE caps as YES and only way to get them is by editing the driver values. So I was wondering if it was possible to quickly find the cap for 8bit palletized tex too. Not sure what you mean by "caps" but …

His experiences with the Rage 128 Pro are interesting. That card has dedicated options in the drivers for enabling paletted textures and table fog, but neither of those features worked when he was testing actual games. I wonder if maybe using older drivers could have made a difference? I observed …
