Re: Do ATI/AMD cards have an Extension Limit control ?

Sorry, can you clarify? I'm on Nvidia, and had to enable the limit for a number of games to get them to run. I think, as you said, they were all GL Quake I and II engine based games, like GLQuake, Hexen II, GLQuake II, etc. You're saying ATI doesn't have this control, but then it doesn't need it cuz …

a long time ago ATI actually shipped two OGL ICD's with their drivers and you had to manually rename them if you wanted to play any Quake 2 engine based games. Eventually they fixed the issue and combined the fix...ever since then I haven't had an issue. Been awhile since I tested tho.

I read somewhere that people were contacting ATI about putting the opengl extensions that are oldest in the front of the string since old games were having issues detecting extensions because of static opengl extension buffers used in the code.

I had a problem with this not to long ago. I wanted to play Medal of Hono(u)r, and it kept crashing because of such an overflow. The solution for me was to place either atioglxx.dll from ver.513 or from ver.612 and atioglx2.dll from ver.712 of their drivers into the game's directory. :s-face: If you …

Right now I think only Heretic 2 and Sin need this extension limit. There are newer ports for all the other games and they overcame this issue.

Any of you do the jaw-dropping K6->Duron upgrade back in 1999/2000? "Spitfire" was an appropriate codename for that chip.

Nope. I went from my P-150 to K6-III to Athlon 64. I do vaguely remember having a K5 at some point but can't remember where.

I went from a K6-III 400/Intel 430TX to a Duron 600/Via KT133A. The Duron overclocked up to 1 GHz. 😁

I just remember how the Duron was maybe 100% faster at the same clock if you were playing 3D games.

I once had an 800mhz Duron (Spitfire) paired with a nice Epox 8KTA3+ mobo. I'm sure it performed the same or even better than the more expensive (at the time) PIII CPU's of the same speed. I sold that system to a friend after i got my first (and dissapointing) P4 system.

I went from a P2-350 (later upgraded to a Katmai 550) to a P3-1000 years later and finally to an A64 3500+ (excluding extra computers such as test, fun and gaming rigs). My first socket 7 was a very shortlived K6-2-333 several years ago and more recently a K6-3-400. I'm pretty sure going from a K6 …

Heh yea I imagine you did. :D I upgraded a lot myself. Lots of 486s and then to various PII models, PIII Katmai and Coppermine. I got a Duron in there and eventually an Athlon XP. I tended to go after the latest exciting budget overclocking chips of each era. Am5x86, PII SL2W8, PIII SL35D and …

I went from a Celeron 533A @ 800 to a Athlon XP 1600+. I did however make several systems for friends with Durons, they were good performers for being so darn cheap. @ swaaye's overclocking: same here, I'm currently running a E5200 at 4.0 mhz that I picked up last Black Friday for only $43 shipped. …
