Re: '98

Posted on 2018-10-24, 22:55

I test all the cards on a luckystar 5mvp3 board with the via mvp3 chipset and a k6-2 400. The i740 and Matrox G200 are very unstable on this board. On the i740 I could only get 1 run of turok, I did 3 runs on all the other cards. Here are the results compared to the Asus board. Ali in the graph is …

I wonder how the lower end cards like rage pro turbo and i740 would perform on a P1 platform shootout, since they appear basically maxed out on all the p2s. Ditto the other way, some of the cards don't seem maxed out with the faster processors either. I'm going to test CPU scaling with faster CPUs …

(5mvp3+v2) Yeah, it was probably a challenge to find heatsink of this type :) Did you use a fan which blows air onto it ? Yeah, it took me a bit to find that heatsink. I found it at the bottom of my heatsink bin, I had no idea I even had it. I used a 70mm delta fan blowing air over the heatsink and …

Help with BIOS update

Posted on 2018-10-22, 07:51

I'm looking for help updating the BIOS on my Asus P5A-B and Luckystar 5mvp3. I have the updated BIOS files. For the Asus, I just got it from Asus website. I got the BIOS for the luckystar board from here http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm I know for the Asus that I need aflash but …

Yeah. I was really surprised with the i740 on the Ali chipset. The S3 and Matrox card lost a ton of performance in the K6-2 system. Though the Matrox was still fast in D3D at least. The Matrox and the banshee were the most stable AGP cards in that system though. I got lots of hard locks on the Rage …

Re: Matrox Parhelia 512 AGP

8 or 9 months ago I got 2 Matrox Parhelia cards and a set of 3 1280x1024 19" panels. One is a 128MB retail card (207MHz, AGP4x) and the other is a newer 256MB card (250MHz, AGP 8x). I benchmarked every driver version in a number of games and with a bunch of cpus. Its performance is all over the …

Okay, here are some K6-2 results: allk62.png For the K6-2 I used an Asus P5A-B with the same sound card and ram. I used a K6-2 333AFR (date code 98/41) for the 233-350MHz cpu scaling and a K6-2 533AFX (2000/52) for the 400MHz, as I don't have a k6-2 400MHz from 98. I added a pic of the board and …

If you have the cards, a similar effort for a 1999 benchmark would be fantastic, pitting the Voodoo 3 3500, TNT2 Ultra, GF256 DDR, Radeon DDR, G400 MAX and Savage4 against each other. Thanks. I do plan on doing a 1999 comparison at …

No K6 representation? :( Also what GLQuake version are you using? Hope it's not the "unofficial GLQuake" one and I hope it's the last 1997 release. There was also a minor 0.98 release in late 98 would probably be a little more fair to judge Turok results with the Voodoos forced into Direct3D. I …

'98

Posted on 2018-08-09, 02:56

So, I decided to do a comparison of all the video cards released in 1998 on a period correct system and with games from 1998 and earlier. I mostly did this for my own curiosity but I figured I would share it here. I used the newest drivers for each card except the TNT because of some problems I had …

Re: TNT with vsync disabled flickering

Posted on 2018-08-02, 23:23

I'm sure I've heard of this problem before. Sounds like a buffer problem. Some results here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/tnt$20vsync$20tearing That's interesting, I'm not the only one to have the same problem with newer drivers. Yes, seeing through objects and walls doesn't sound like …

Ok, I got it working normally. I went through all the Nvidia drivers in the vogons driver library and the detonator 2.08 drivers work. I noticed the rivatuner vsync page changed with different drivers. With 2.08: Filename 208rt.png File size 102.59 KiB Views 489 views and with 45.23: Filename …

Re: TNT with vsync disabled flickering

Well, when I disable vsync on my other cards it sure doesn't look like that. Sometimes you can see through objects/walls. Maybe someone with a TNT card could give it a try? btw, powerstrip does not disable vsync on the newer drives, only rivatuner worked. I ended up trying some older drives, 5.32 …

TNT with vsync disabled flickering

Posted on 2018-07-30, 00:34

OK, so just as the title says I'm getting really bad flickering on my nvidia TNT when I disable vsync in D3D. The card is a Creative CT6710 and everything seems to work with vsync enabled and OpenGL is fine with it enabled or not. I have the card in an Aopen AX6BC (Edit: the board is an AX6BC, not …

Re: Best graphics card for AL440lx

Posted on 2018-07-29, 23:52

I have a 440LX board that does not like any Geforce 256 or Geforce2 that I have tried. It works fine with my TNT (Creative CT6710), TNT2M64 and TNT2 pro. It also works with my Matrox G200 and G400Max. Edit: I have not tried a Geforce2MX but I did try a Geforce2 GTS and Geforce2 pro and they both did …
