Re: Best WinXP Video Card

Posted on 2021-01-24, 18:18

Kinda the point here is to use a card that is good for modern gaming under win7 or even win10 in addition to having winXP compatibility, for multiboot builds. Particularly cards like 780ti, 980ti and HD 7970 / R9 280X can run all win7-era games maxed out, and most modern win10 games on at least …

I see, so maybe it was 16-235 under XP after all. Oh well, different monitors will probably give you different experience with this issue, but to be on the safe side, go amd catalyst 12.x instead of nvidia 368.81 😀

Probably depends on what kind of monitor is used on how good of an experience you gonna get. Back then I used a 24" 1080p 120hz Eizo FG2421 over displayport, which 368.81 was I think detecting as a HDTV, custom resolution button was disabled, and the color issues, actually kinda weird, it was …

Here a kepler may have another advantage over maxwell, other than the previously mentioned kepler being actually faster than maxwell with these old XP drivers (which I cannot confirm right now), kepler being older will support wider range of driver versions, especially the early 600-series keplers, …

it's happening with displayport, so it wouldn't be a bandwidth limitation, particularly since its already doing 1920x1080 at 144. Its mostly because the "custom resolution" feature is grayed out and "gpu scaling" is completely missing, you can make a custom res with a registry edit but I cant figure …

From what I've seen the XP drivers for the maxwells are missing some features, particularly you cannot make a custom 1440x1080 4:3 rez at 144hz, and also it feels like its displaying 4:2:0 colors instead of 4:4:4. A solution to these two would be to just plug a CRT monitor and use that for XP. Or to …

In that msfn thread, the guy who mentioned getting R9 Fury working on XP with it, in 2016 post, I see later in 2020 has posted about having had problems with it and it not being worth it Over the years I realised that bios is what depends on GPU to work on card's . It doesn't worth to take risk . R9 …

Wanderer wrote on 2021-01-17, 08:24: Hello, this driver for XP has many more newer AMD cards listed in the .inf file, which should mean they are all compatible. I'm not seeing anything faster than the HD7970 / R9 280X on that list tho, as expected

I think that 8-core ivy xeon should overclock about as much as the average 4-core 3770k would, also the titan X has a more unlocked core than the 980ti, with more shaders and more texture mapping units, so it doesnt need to be clocked quite as high as the 980ti to perform as good. But if you're not …

Thing with 980ti vs Titan X is, the reference Titan X is faster than the reference 980Ti, but the non-reference factory overclocked 980Tis are even faster. There's no non-reference Titan X-ses because Nvidia did not allow it, but theres some rare Gigabyte, Evga and Zotac variants of the Titan X, …

Oh yes, this was the best winxp video card thread, I honestly thought I'm replying to another one for a while now... Maybe I actually was and the discussion got moved here once already and I didn't notice :) Best winXP video card? That's kinda obvious, Maxwell 980Ti / Titan X would be by far the …

WinXP and EAX audio

Posted on 2021-01-15, 21:20

Gold is just TFE+TSE bundle with a few extra dm levels so no point counting it as a separate game. The og xbox port of the game is a lot more unique, check it out instead. Also I think TFE/TSE are just EAX1? What I can definitely point out is, they do not support positional 3D audio. Something about …

btw Serious Sam 3 BFE (released 2011) seems to be one of the latest EAX games, it uses XAudio2 by default but it can be switched to OpenAL trough console command sfx_iAPI=1, and using Creative X-Fi sound card, you then get positional 3D audio + EAX, and its interesting, because the game was never …

Re: Best WinXP Video Card

Yes, basically the way I see it, OpenAL is just an alternative api for the game to talk to the creative sound card, like DirectSound is, like how Direct3D and OpenGL are alternative apis for the game to talk to the graphics card. So with Vista+ removing DirectSound, OpenAL seems to be the way to get …
