I added Quake 1280x1024 results for 2/3 of tested configurations, for some 1280 is faster than 1024, i add the rest later, i have some HW on different location. Now it would be really nice to have some Radeon 2xxx - 7xxx results, but i dont have such cards. Otherwise i find some tools, which could …

It would be some resource bug, for the record i hadn't any other card plugged in, in bios not too much IRQ settings to fiddle than disable integrated NIC and audio and serial and parallel ports. Update: I find out that RAID mode is not compatible with PCI Videocard and EMS mode, so you have to …

I suppose that know what is jumper , look at manual where is CMOS/Bios reset jumper located (update: page 11 - point 19, info in on page 20) and check which pins are connected, if these for normal usage, or these for cmos reset (in which case is Bios setting reset for every boot).. Its quite typical …

There are lots of 640x480x256 dos game. The list will be long.

It can be either available resolutions, or the ability to correctly render images at that resolution. Glitches - except of missing 1600x1200 resolution on lots of cards in Q2 (i think that this VESA mode is not simply listed in its video bios), all cards with this problem has 0 result, i already …

Thanks, few reaction based on results. *There's no any 2D acceleration under DOS or used by DOS games. It doesn't matter how many billions of transistors your GPU have, in VESA mode every GPU becomes a dummy framebuffer device that does only one thing - it receive memory writes from host CPU to MMIO …

Why, remind me to never reply to your list threads again I already explained it, list was to short, i expected that there would be much games. Regardless, there is still resolution column so you can filter only 800x600+ games and have best of both worlds - win / win solution. I really dont …
