Re: my modern pci graphics card's (with onboard pci to pci-e reverse bridge) poor performance in P3 rig

Posted on 2014-04-10, 12:38

well, it looks like your problem was not the same I'm facing with the P2B SPBHM, I found a probable reason why the 8400GS doesn't work with Asus P2B. As per PCI specifications(2.3 & above), Revision 2.3 is an evolutionary change to the PCI Local Bus Specification. Revision 2.3 makes a significant …

That is weird, as in my case the onboard PCI bridge and GPU were getting listed but with no resources assigned and in a disabled state. I checked the Asus P2B manual, it was showing compliance to PCI 2.1 spec (mine is PCI 2.2 compliant). But I guess, it should not be a problem and I'm presuming you …

SPBHM, now that the chainloading part has been taken care of, let us concentrate on the 8400GS. It will be better if we first try inserting the 8400GS in another PCI slot without disturbing the Voodoo card in its current slot that we can have the display to show the results of the commands that will …

SPBHM, It will be better if we take it step by step. First let us check the chain loading part with proper display. So let us try this only with Voodoo card inserted. What we want to verify is, 1)Boot to DOS(not from hard disk, but from floppy by emulation) which will give 'A' prompt. 2)From 'A' …

SPBHM, I think I totally messed up on my assumption that you have a floppy drive in your ASUS P2B system and booting to DOS from a boot floppy. I also assumed that you only have Win98 in your hard disk's primary partition. So I need to get somethings straight. a) Since you don't have a floppy, I …

SPBHM, I have attached the files. These files have to be extracted and added to your DOS boot disk. All the commands are added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT. ASUS P2B.zip However, I missed out in asking an info that is needed. It is the slot number of the PCI slot in which you will insert the 8400GS. To find …

Cool SPBHM, I will check these logs and revert. Mau1wurf1977, I have not changed anything in the in-game colorful setup menu. In the external setup menu, the following only was changed: Resolution : 640 x 480 x 32 Use low resolution movie : enabled (not for any particular reason) BTW, enabling and …

this is what I get with PCI tool on the P2B + 8400GS I presume you ran the tool without any display, probably by loading the command in autoexec.bat or am I missing something? Since the 8400GS PCI and the onboard PCI bridge are not in the list, 1) Can you post the snapshot of IO, Memory & IRQ pages …

2. Also I digged up my old P3 coppermine 550 Mhz and it kept restarting, then I noticed that the CPU temperature was above 100º, and noticed there was a huge amount of dust clogging the fan, after I cleaned the heatsink and fan, I removed the thermal paste, and decided to install the CPU withouth …

@SPBHM, Just wanted you to know that there is a possibly simple workaround for getting the 8400GS PCI working on the Asus P2B board (in Windows) without a permanent bios mod. If you are interested or it is of any use to you, please let me know. The tool is attached and some details are in page-6 of …

Just to imagine a true VR setup (not the one available at present, but like those shown in futuristic movies and hopefully for real in the near future), with the amount of realism in this game and such other games, will send a cold shiver down the spine.

I have decided to concentrate more on the Q3A benchmark results as there are lots of datapoints available for comparison in addition to comparable performance of my system against that of similar systems. First the bench results, Settings: 1) Command line: +set cd_nocd 1 +set s_initsound 0 2) …

@SPBHM, your post hit the nail pretty hard in the coffin. I guess, it has been sufficiently proved that GPU's with PCI bridge onboard will have inferior(considerable) performance in comparison with native PCI GPU's(till proved otherwise, doubt anyone will). 8400GS PCI's lower performance against …
