I don't believe Yamaha Audician 32 based cards are too expensive at the moment.

Just a quick update. I got the 4770 and the improvement was indeed pretty big. A few titles still stutter occasionally, but not nearly as much. I'm currently using two hard drives, hope to get an SSD soon and see if that makes things even better. I did notice something odd, though. I've dual-booted …
Re: Windows 3.1 will turn 30 soon

Sorry if this sounds odd, but I find facts like these depressing. I don't like the thought of stuff I enjoy getting notably older. Like, for example: I remember when I first played Sonic 2 on an actual Sega Genesis as a kid, the game at that time was about 15 years old. Now at the present time, Half …

I actually did find a way of getting Extreme Paintbrawl to fully work on Windows XP+. You had to modify some batch files to start DOSBox at certain times. Only problem is that if your graphics card doesn't support the 640x400 menus, you're fucked.

I remember quite a few years ago I caught some adware and that adware changed my home page to Startpage. Definitely put me off of ever legit using it.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the insight.

Very nice patch, indeed. If you don't mind, this actually reminds me of a question I've been asking myself for a little while now. Technically, how hard would it be to modify a game that originally had PC speaker music to instead play CD audio tracks at certain points? I had the idea to somehow mod …

CPU bottleneck, i3-4170 is a 2 core / 4 threads cpu. If you can find something like a i7-4770 or a Xeon E3-1230 v3 for cheap it would help a lot. i5-4670 would probably also be enough for that GPU, games that can utilize more than 4 cores won't be running all that well with a GTX 1060 anyway. Also …

GPU Noob Questions
Posted on 2022-03-13, 20:40
I have recently acquired a 6GB GTX 1060. This is the first more modern GPU I've ever owned and I have a couple questions about it. For now I have it paired with a i3 4170, and the performance is a bit underwhelming. While some games perform well, GTA V can't maintain near constant 60fps at 1080p max …

What are the specs of the laptop? What does the task manager show as far as CPU, RAM, and drive usage? i5-2450m, 8gb RAM. The task manager shows that when just sitting on the desktop the CPU usage is usually at the low single digits (often 1 or 0) and memory usage is 22%. Drive usage is also normal …

I looked at the datasheet and it's supposed to support up to 24bit 192khz, and Windows is already set to that. Btw, under the enhancements tab if I check disable all sound effects the audio becomes extremely tinny even though I have nothing enabled under the effects list.

Ah, I'll look into that soon. My laptop uses Realtek High Definition Audio. Btw, the OS is Windows 7. I've never tried Windows 10 or especially 11 on it because I fear they won't run as well.

I'll have to borrow the drive from another laptop, I guess. Perhaps I'll try reinstalling the OS on that as a test this weekend.
Crazy high latency on my main laptop, any ideas?
Posted on 2022-02-17, 07:21
So, my main laptop is from around 2012 and while it is nearly 10 years old, I honestly find it still mostly pretty usable for doing web browsing and various other light tasks. The problem is that I installed a Crucial MX500 1TB SSD in it (transferred the data to it from the original mechanical drive …
