USB works fine with DOS, so I can only hope it works ok in Win95. 😜

Make sure "USB Keyboard Support" in the BIOS (it might be named differently) is enabled too.

Love the case, and I am a little jelly of your build. 😀

That is the best you'll get BetaC. IMO, Q3 and Elite Force are the only games that you can use cg_shadows 2 and not have it look too glitchy. You'll still notice the errors sometimes but being such fast paced games it makes it easier to ignore.

I love my V3 PCI, glad it ended up not being the AGP variant.

High end P4 or A64 would work.

What is the deal with r_surfacelookup? Is this a Rendition only tweak?

V5 likes faster CPUs, that could be the issue.

Rocking a i7-2600 @ 3.4Ghz, 16GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz, 120GB Kingston SSD, 1TB WD HDD, ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. Plays all games 60fps @ 1080p. I'm happy. I've had this system minus the SSD, extra 8GB RAM, and the 1060 since late 2011. Modern PCs are so boring, 🤣.

It looks ok in motion, but it does hit the framerate pretty hard. You will always see odd artifacts with that setting.

r_stencilBits 32 cg_shadows 2 The stencilbits part is important. This applies to many (but not all) idTech 3 games. The shadow code was originally for Quake3 which was coded mainly on Riva TNTs. Anything supporting a high enough stencil buffer should work. Its artifacts (which there will be!) are …

If you want to match and have awesome performance, find the fastest CPU that came out the same year your cards did.

Unless you're going to be playing Glide games, the 420 will be much faster.

In all games? Windows as well? What do the artifacts look like?

r_overbrightBits 0 and lowering brightness/gamma should be a nice trade off.

I don’t need too many things, so: - ATI Rage 128 16MB - Nvidia GeForce 256 64MB DDR - 3D Prophet Kyro 2 4500 64MB - High end 486 system - 3Dfx Voodoo 1 4MB - ATI Radeon 8500 Probably other stuff I can’t think of.
