TNT2 driver performance

Posted on 2019-04-06, 18:52

OK, so I did a driver comparison on a TNT2 (125/150) under windows 98. I thought I would share the results here. I used a P3 800/133 on an intel OR840 board with 512MB of 800MHz RDRAM and a sound blaster live sound card. I wanted to run these benchmarks on my 440BX board but the TNT2 was just not …

I also ran some benchmarks on this setup with the Rage128 pro but with a P3 @ 800/133 and 256MB of PC133 CL2. all128prodrv.png Edit: For these tests I did use the full version of forsaken which has more options for running higher resolutions and in 32bit colour. It's a different demo though, so you …

I actually did a comparison with a reg TNT2 (125/150) that I was going to post in this thread but forgot. So here it is: Filename allwtnt2.png File size 112.1 KiB Views 1812 views The results here for the M64 cards was all retested. I mainly did that to make sure my original results were correct.

I just stumbled across this post while doing a Google search and wanted to thank the OP for it, amazingly informative. Thanks. I was dumbfounded to see the original TNT performing close to a G450 at 16bit, but at 32bit at least the gap becomes meaningful. Yeah the G450 is a bit odd, I think. It …

Yeah png screenshots in say 3dmark and I dont know Quake 2 would be great for IQ comparispn.. 62xx seema to perform but maybe it ia buggy and does not render correctly? Great work as ever though. There are some bugs that I noticed running the benchmarks. Most of them are hard to get in a screenshot …

It could be heat. Make sure the CPU heatsink is making good contact and it has some thermal paste. You can also try setting up a fan to move air over the G400. Other things you can try if that doesn't help would be to run memtest to make sure the ram in the system is good and test with a different …

Rage128 driver performance

Posted on 2019-02-18, 23:41

Hey, so I decided to do a small driver comparison on my Rage128GL card. I used my Aopen AX6BC mobo with 128MB of PC100, a Pentium2@450MHz and a Creative Sound Blaster Live sound card. I used mostly older games for this test but I am going to go back and test some newer games with these drivers also …

Re: FireGL X1 to Radeon 9700pro

Posted on 2019-02-16, 22:54

D3D games did seem to run fine with the drivers for the Radeon installed. I might give the omega drivers a go, I used them back in the day on my Radeon 9700pro. Btw, I did find a hardware mod online to change the FireGL into a Radeon or a Radeon into a FireGL. You just need to move a resistor and …

Re: best windows 98 agp card

I don't think there was a clock variance among G400 cards. At least not Max. I went and watched Phils G400max review and you can see when he opens powerstrip (at about 4:46 in the video) his card is clocked at 145MHz, so clearly there is some variance. My card is 150/200 MHz and most examples I was …

Ok, so I decided to test these same games on some of the 1999 cards and compare them to the 1998 cards of the same brand. I tested them all in the same system; the P2 450 with 128MB of PC100 CL2, the aopen mobo and SBlive sound card. I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of gain you …

Ok, so I used rabit to edit the bios and atiflash to flash it (used a device id from the techpowerup database). I was able to install the cat 5.8 drivers but it didn't install an opengl driver. In cat control center under information center -> graphics software -> opengl version it says not …

Re: FireGL X1 to Radeon 9700pro

Wasn't stable as it would crash in 3dmark03, Halo, and battlefield Vietnam. I opened rabit and changed the device I'd on the bios to the 9700pro however and reinstalled drivers and it now works flawlessly. Tried with 3 sets of FireGL driver's forcing it to use 9700pro cat 5.9, 6.2 and 10.2 and …
