Re: A smol K6-II+ /Voodoo build

Posted on 2022-06-21, 12:18

@ynopot : you have to understand that not everyone cares about performance improvements and fine tuning. As PcBytes said, he's already happy with his current performance and all of his games run at what he considers acceptable framerates. So even though I do agree with your suggestions.... they're …

Re: Geforce4 vs Geforce5 with athlon 64

Just checked my driver archive, and I have a folder titled "A8V Deluxe". Inside this folder I have multiple VIA 4in1 drivers, and one of them is named: TESTED-GOOD_VIA_HyperionPro_V512A.zip I usually add the TESTED-GOOD_ prefix, whenever I encounter issues with a motherboard/platform and find a …

bloodem, do you have the chance to test your board with a fx 5900? Well, as I already mentioned, this build already has a GeForce FX 5900XT and it works perfectly (so it would definitely also work with a non-XT version which is in fact supported by driver version 45.23 by default). Unfortunately I …

Don't forget about Midtown Madness, which is infamous "Achilles' heel" of Nvidia cards. Interesting, was not aware that it was known to have issues with nVIDIA cards. Then again, I've last played it (for about 15 minutes) 22 years ago... and let's just say I wasn't a fan, so I don't even own it ( …

I'm using such aa and af settings for testing, back in time when I had the gf4 I loved the quincunx aa. Oh, OK. Do you have any other game to suggest? Maybe something older to check the compatibility? I was also thinking to test the dos performance. Well, my go-to "quick Win98 performance …

You are definitely right about X2... I'm installing the 45.23 right now... I tested a "more period correct game", finally the results are right, MDK2, at 1000 mhz without aa and af I get 195 fps, while with aa and af 74,07. If I ramp up the frequency to 1500 mhz: 255 fps and 74,27. Now I clean the …

Not sure if this comment was directed at me, since I never claimed that an Athlon64 would be a bottleneck for a GeForce4 Ti4200. I merely pointed out that such a system could draw out more performance from that card compared to something slower like an AthlonXP 1700+ or a Tualatin 1.4 GHz. If …

I'm refering to this video: https://youtu.be/KtyLkfvozck?t=484 Yeah, that was a strange issue, it might be related to a specific BIOS version that Phil is using, or maybe the "non-Deluxe" A8V board has some other quirks. I've never had any driver issues with my Asus A8V Deluxe build on which I have …

I have chosen the that version because according to a phil's video with similar configuration he was unable to use the 45.23, but sure I can try them, any tip about how can I clean win98 from that drivers? Thanks Not sure which video that is, but any drivers that support that specific video card …

I suggest installing WinXP as a dual boot option and then comparing your benchmark results between Win98 and WinXP using the same drivers. If you see a significant difference between the two (as in 50%) then you may have encountered the issue described in this thread: https://www.vogons.org/ …

Yo boys boys... something is wrong... I'm testing the gf4 ti42000 (at 4400) on X2 and I got those results at 1024x768x32: no aa no af: 32 fps, aa4 af8: 11 fps?! Are you sure the chipset driver was successfully installed? Seems like the AGP driver is missing and you're running in "PCI mode". What …

Re: Geforce4 vs Geforce5 with athlon 64

no doubt but that wasn't my point. Well, as I understood, your point was that the Athlon 64 CPU @ 1.5 GHz will be a bottleneck... which it won't be, especially not in conjunction with a GeForce 4 Ti. Now, I'm also not a big fan of underclocking these CPUs (mostly because, even at their default …

I have a Pentium 3 1.4s @ 1.6 and even at that speed a GF4 Ti 4800 is CPU bound (Same with a FX 5700 Ultra) and the Athlon isn't going to fare much better at 1.5ghz regardless of GPU used You do realize that the Athlon 64, even when running at 1.5 GHz, is going to be MUCH faster than your Pentium …

My system is plateaued between 4,500 to 4,600 points, and I guess it will remain there unless I buy another K6-2+ 570 and win the CPU lottery with a chip that will do 672 MHz. Is SDRAM Bank Interleaving enabled? If it's not, you could squeeze a bit more performance out of the system (make sure to …

probably Monkey Island, the PC speaker intro tune will be stuck in my head for eternity. Amen, brother! Monkey Island and Loom... both intros are also imprinted in my mind for eternity. Still, nothing comes close to Prince of Persia and the lasting impact it had on me personally. I was 6 or 7 years …
