I'm the minority but.... I like KLH plastic cones. The room I'm sitting in is ringed with 10 large bookshelf sized KLH speakers. I also like sitting in the center of the sound storm they generate lol. 2 5.1 systems, sometimes I have different soundcards duel one another. They are basically mirroring …

Anyone Try SteamOS yet? Its Debian Linux based I think. Haven't tried it yet myself, but I do hope it somehow becomes wildly popular with the PC gaming segment, who will then push it off to the casuals, and there will then be an actual alternative to Windows for gaming. A dream, that I hope happens …

Does windows 9x or 2k\XP auto detect it in the add new hardware wizard as anything, and try to install drivers? That top card looks interesting to me, its probably not PNP with those dip switches too.

Forcing V-sync off in the driver control panel for Nvidia and Ati. Nvidia you need to leave texture performance set to quality for some reason, with the driver vers I used. Using Voodoo control for 3dfx. I'd test the 5800 in that machine, but its in the main tualatin machine I use all the time and …

Yea I could If the board wasn't so picky about high density 1gb sticks. It only wants to accept large sticks with Hynix memory chips, and I only have one of those right now. It used to run a P4 northwood 2.4@3.2ghz with 512mb PC2100 in dual channel mode of ram until recently.

Nice AlphaWing! That is some serious P4 overclocking 8-O What is the CPU temp on that beastly OC? Nice scores! Somthing like 49c idle load is 58-60c. Its using an Alpha Novatech Pin style heatsink, very effective for its time. Before Heat-pipes became common. It can go higher, I just prefer to run …

Nice scores! I'm trying the XP fix, lets it works in Windows 8.1 64, but framerate gets locked to 60, No amount of forcing it off in the Catalyst Control panel is unlocking v-sync. Even D3d Overrider is not unlocking it 🙁 Gonna Try it on an actual XP machine next 🤣.

Record low? 486DX-120 + S3 ViRGE A score of 1 :exclamation: Yea thats low. Atleast it runs on a 486, but did that Virge display anything correctly?

Thats great, the more scores the better! Just watch out for the V-sync issue 3dmark99 has on faster systems. If the first 2 tests aren't going above 60fps or get stuck at 15\30\45 its probably stuck on. Making a profile for 3dmark 99 atleast for nvidia drivers with it forced off seems to keep it …
