Re: Windows XP on SD card

Posted on 2020-10-28, 03:17

True, and those things can be super useful. But there's also a beauty to the simplicity-through-complexity of old spinning disks... plug and play in the truest sense of the word. No fiddling required. Plus they provide the whirring and clicking which is an essential part of the experience for some. …

Re: Geforce256 DDR, PIII 933 and XP - best drivers

Posted on 2020-10-28, 03:00

ForceWare 30.82 and 45.23 have been super solid for me. Used the former with a TNT2 and the latter with tons of Nvidia cards, including a GeForce 256 DDR. No idea if either of those is the best performance-wise but they both rock from a stability and compatibility standpoint. I think those were …

The thing is that IDE hard drives are becoming scarce They aren't and won't be for any foreseeable future. At least when it comes to high capacity drives (20+ Gb). Ha, I read that and jumped over to eBay in a panic to make sure IDE hard drives are still cheap and plentiful. They are! With so many …

ATI - Do Radeon drivers work with FireGL cards?

Posted on 2020-05-14, 22:31

I have some Nvidia workstation cards (Quadro4 100 NVS, Quadro4 380 XGL, Quadro FX 500), and I've always used regular ForceWare drivers with them and it has Just Worked™. Which is cool, because I certainly don't need any CAD features and I like using game-optimized drivers that I'm familiar with. …

Re: Geforce 2 GTS vs Radeon 7500

Also a reminder of the Geforce2's blurry VGA output which goes against its practicality of using high resolutions :) There seems to be a lot of variability. I have a 3D Prophet II Ti and a couple of unbranded (probably Dell) GeForce2 GTS cards where the VGA output is perfectly bright and sharp. …

Why not a Kyro2 card? Back then I remember it was quite a shock to see it competing with those mentioned cards. Kyro II is actually super solid. Its performance is not quite up to GeForce2 levels, but the latest drivers are surprisingly stable and compatible. They even support table fog! :D The …

Are there specific examples of what's broken in Unreal D3D renderer? I tested Unreal Gold updated to patch 226, side by side on a Voodoo3 in Glide mode and on my Radeon R9 380 in Windows 7 using D3D, and I could not see any difference that would indicate missing or broken rendering in D3D. I …

By the way, Descent 3 offers a timedemo, look it up! Did not know that. Thanks for the tip! Based on feedback, I'm thinking I may have to do a second round of Windows 98 VGA benchmarking :) Sounds like the following would be useful additions: Additional game benchmarks Higher resolution modes Extra …

Small variety of games, higher resolution/settings here and there wouldn't hurt either. Those are both valid points. For that benchmark project, I wanted the results to be repeatable, so I stuck with games and demos that have built-in performance measurement tools. Unfortunately, there aren't too …

Re: Geforce 2 GTS vs Radeon 7500

The GeForce2 GTS is hands down the better card. The Radeon 7500 looks good on paper, but it's crippled by poor drivers. Check out my Windows 98 VGA charts . I tested both the GeForce2 GTS and Radeon 7500 on a Pentium III 1000 with a variety of games and benchmarks. The Radeon 7500 gets crushed by …
