Re: The frustrations of the GPU market

in Milliways
I don't think they're entirely wrong. Like I said, the original Titan was 1000$ MSRP. After that, Titan Z was 3000$ MSRP, which admittedly was a card with very specific usage, but the Pascal based Titan X was 1200$ MSRP. Couple of years later, 2080 Ti launched at 1200$ MSRP with Titan RTX at 2500$ …

Re: The frustrations of the GPU market

in Milliways
I've had an RX 480 for 5 years now, the longest I've ever held a videocard. Thankfully, I mostly play older games and the only "new" games I tend to play are multiplayer titles that I can either lower graphics or are already running too slow. My R5 3600 takes care of every emulation or other CPU …

Re: Did I get ripped off? (Voodoo2 Diamond)

Indeed, try re-installing the drivers. I'd also advise installing the latest reference drivers instead of the ones you are using, as they overclock the card slightly if my recollection is right (90 MHz -> 100 MHz). In the case that the control panel still doesn't show up, the first thing I'd try is …

Re: anyone gaming with NT 4.0?

I've got a 440FX board with dual PPros at 233, 128MB RAM and a Voodoo Banshee running NT4.0 SP6 and it's... fun to mess around with. You can definitely run some games, provided they don't require Direct3D and/or don't specifically rely on libraries from DirectX5 and up. So that kinda limits things, …

Re: Overclocking a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP.

Read the chips themselves, on your specific card. Then you can search online and find the datasheet and see how fast yours are or alternatively you can usually tell by taking a better look at what's written on there, let's check the example below: https://oemdrivers.com/sites/default/files/2019-12/ …

Re: Are we opening sealed copies of old games?

in Milliways
I don't often get sealed copies of games, but when I do, I will definitely sit down at some point, break the seal and open it up and play it on retro hardware, take a look at the feelies (if any) and read the manual(s). Part of the experience, I don't see a reason for me to keep games sealed. If a …

Re: Overclocking a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP.

I don't think you require additional cooling, that Noctua fan on that dinky heatsink is already doing a lot of work. The question is less whether or not the chip can do it (it usually can get you up there), but more of a question if the memory chips are up to it. Check to see how many ns they are …
