Re: what are your opinions on the voodoo banshee?

Posted on 2023-06-19, 13:54

It depends which games you want to play but in general in single texture games the Banshee is faster than Voodoo2 because it has higher clocks. For example Unreal engine use multi texturing technology so Voodoo 2 is faster. This is the biggest downside but apart from that Banshee has more resolution …

Re: ATI Xpress 1xxx on Windows 98/ME

Good news but I am not surprised. Don't give me wrong, it is good to know but the Radeon express 1100 is not based on R5xx like the name suggests to you (Radeon X1xxx series). The codename is RS482 based on R300. It is a small die shrink of RV370 for low power machines.

Hi kynikos, it all depends games era that you want to play. If you want to cover from middle/late DOS era to late 1999/2000 it will be really hard with one build. You will find compatibilities problems, high or low speed sensitive issues. If I were you I would build two or three builds to cover all …

Re: Best Drivers for GeForce4 MX-440

Does it make them a bad card? At the moment, in our days, it's a good choice because GeForce 440/460 ( avoid 420 or 440 64 bit variants ) are a little bit faster than GeForce 2 TI/Ultra. They are more common and cheap. But there is no point thinking that the GeForce 4 MX cards will compare to any …

What did you mean when you say "fake" mx440 cards? Please elaborate. If you are talking about this: To say the truth, GF4 MX440 is from 2002 and they are more than good enough for anything till (and including) 2000-2001, which is marking the end of W9x era for most people, anyways. For W9x, this …

Re: GeForce2 vs GeForce3: My test results

Posted on 2017-06-29, 13:54

Sorry phil, i really like your bench/test but this time your results are ‎fictitious... ForceWare 71.89 are too new. From my experience 5x.xx series and up performs really bad with dx7/8.0 engine and lower. In particular with these two GeForce and games. Imho this is only my opinion but if i were …

Re: Sound Cards Advice

Really nice haul! Covers a lot of eras. However, to get an advice, you'd need to be more specific: 1) what kind of a machine do you want to build? 2) what era of games you want to play? 3) what kind of music do you like in games? Basically, when it comes to music in DOS games, there are three main …
