Re: ATI vs Nvidia Scaling
Posted on 2021-05-19, 12:34
What do you mean by "pixel perfect scaling"? Some monitors for instance can show the image as 1:1 - you have black bars at the sides and only part of the screen is used. I always prefer to use this, so when running 1920x1080 on 2560x1440 screen, I have smaller image in the middle... but no ugly …
Re: why voodoo 5 5500 has AGP 2x
Posted on 2021-05-18, 05:43
All commercially sold 3dfx AGP cards are PCI66 cards with AGP connector. This statement is not accurate. Voodoo5 is PCI66 (~AGP 1x) because of the dual chip design. Reference 3dfx/STB Voodoo4 supports AGP 1.5V and AGP 4x transfer. PowerColor V4 supports AGP 3.3V and 2x transfer by default. Can be …
Re: How can I tell between Geforce2 MX and MX400?

I am not sure how different SDR and DDR memory controller is. But I have Asus V7100 Pro with 4ns SDRAM (so rated for 250 MHz) and it could barely get there - so most likely the memory controller limit .

I have exactly the same problem on my GeForce 256 DDR (Asus V6800)... but even worse. My guess is also damaged DAC. There is no visible damage on the card.
Re: Pentium 4 + Voodoo 3 3500 combination
Posted on 2021-05-04, 11:03
SiS 645DX is AGP 3.3V compatible. So unless Gigabyte messed up something, it should work. But safety first, as always - it would be a good idea to try some cheap AGP 2x GPU so see if everything works properly.
Re: Is this the Kyro II 4500 or 4800?
Posted on 2021-04-28, 18:46
The PCB is different than regular 4500... so yes, it could be 4800. Congrats. 😁 How does it perform?

VRM on this board is rather weak. I definitely wouldn't run C2Q here. 45nm Pentium or Core 2 Duo is much better. Runs very cool and also faster... unless you really need 4 cores.
Re: Voodoo 2 sli board, real or fake?
Posted on 2021-04-13, 06:08
How's the 200SBI performance compared to the SLI setup? (like 3DM99 benchmarks) And do you have pictures of the card in your setup? Same as V2 SLI. It is just PCI-PCI bridge and two V2 chipsets on one board, after all. Sorry, no pictures, I never used it outside of quick test to check if it works …
Re: Voodoo 2 sli board, real or fake?
Posted on 2021-04-12, 08:31
I've seen some images online about a voodoo 2 card, with 2 voodoo 2 cards on one board. Does anyone know of its excistance or is it a fake? Oh, the Obsidian2 200SBi. I have one, so definitely real :-D It works just like V2 SLI, but there are some driver difficulties, so it is better to run two V2 …
Re: Ultimate 2004 PC Pentium M Build (Doneish)
Posted on 2021-03-26, 10:25
I will build similar PC at some point and I plan to put V2 SLI in there. As for the cooling - some extra airflow should be enough. Passive heatsinks on their own won't do much anyway. And there is also risk of the heatsink falling off one day... and it might short something on the card below and …
Re: Voodoo 1, 2, and 5 questions
Posted on 2021-03-26, 10:16
There is a workaround for OGL / Glide. You can copy the glide2x.dll, glide3x.dll and opengl32.dll (that belongs to the desired card) to the game folder and it will run on the card you wish. I had V5 + V2 SLI in one system once and it worked fine.
Re: (Onboard) Voodoo 3 troubleshooting
Posted on 2021-03-22, 14:31
I don't know how the 16MB version performs, they seem to be bery rare and I never had one. But the 8MB V3 on MS-6168 board performs exactly like Velocity 100 - so 1 TMU in OGL/glide and 2 TMU in D3D. It can be reenabled using the well known registry hack. Well, at least it worked that way last time …
Re: (Onboard) Voodoo 3 troubleshooting
Posted on 2021-03-22, 12:43
I had MS-6168 system years ago and the onboard GPU worked perfectly even in glide. There are no special drivers, it is regular Voodoo3 (or in fact Velocity 100 - it has only one TMU active) soldered on the PCB, nothing special about it. I remember running Windows 98 and XP, both were ok.

small update. That ramTurned out to be good over clockers after all and I just had PAT disabled Also I tightened the timings a bit to 3-3-3-7 T1 @ 533 Mhz , Its completely stable @ 2.65 V This is about the max the board can go so I'm happy. My sanda memory bandwidth score went up by another roughly …

Re: Wierd Radeon 9800 Pro by Palit - What am I dealing with?

R350 and R360 are more or less the same, no big deal. And R9800 Pro 256MB/128bit is pretty common card. I have one of these as well. Not Palit though and I am not sure what GPU it has.
Re: Voodoo 5 6000 Clone PCB
Posted on 2021-02-18, 16:53
It is pci because it too slow for d3d and later opengl and intended to be used in conjunction with another powerful accelerator. Thats why it has Vga in. What evidence you’re expecting, that card 2 days old and it not available for orders now. I understand the PCI interface (after all, the original …
Re: Voodoo 5 6000 Clone PCB
Posted on 2021-02-18, 13:00
This clone V5 seems to support only 5V PCI. Which will limit the performance quite a bit as you won't be able to run it in 3.3V PCI-X boards as 66 MHz PCI device.

You can't. R430 usually can be overclocked only to 450. Depends on luck, I managed to run my R430 at 540 MHz, no mods or anything. https://hwbot.org/submission/2566166_havli_3dmark06_radeon_x800_gto_pcie_ddr1_1514_marks Btw - it is werid to see R430 on AGP card. There must be the Rialto bridge... …
