I didn't have any problems running Nature or any other Windows 98 3DMark on a Pentium 3 with an FX 5700 or Quadro FX 3000 using driver version version 56.64. There is a video from Phils ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRhm4aGNI3o ) that shows that version 56.64 is the fastest FX driver overall …
Re: Voodoo. 2 Sli vs Voodoo3 ? Which configuration would be more flexible?

However, mouse movement feels much more responsive with 60+ FPS, at least to me. Absolutely. Except when you use a PS/2 mouse, then you're screwed regardless 😁 That was actually one of the biggest surprises I ran into when I built my P3 machine, I'm not the biggest fps snob on the planet but laggy …

AFAICR from back in the day, nature was good for finding out if you cooling was inadequate, especially if you pre-warmed it with the full test. If you can go cold cold boot to pass nature only, it's probably heat. If it fails still doesn't rule it out, but it must be so bad it's crashing in games …

Aaaand my extron 109xi just died. Well, not 100% dead, but the VGA connection got a lose contact and that lose contact is in the middle of the D-SUB connection. I tried my luck with opening and resoldering a few pins, but that only made it worse (It's a metal frame D-Sub Plug which you can open and …

With a FX5200 in windows XP, 45.23 crashes in 3dmark2001 on game 4 Do you mean the Advanced Pixel Shader test? If that fails, it usually indicates some kind of system stability problem. For what it's worth, all 3DMark 2001SE tests run fine with 45.23 on my FX 5900XT. No, the "nature" game. There is …

Re: Soyo 4SA2 only goes up to 64MB memory (16MB per slot)
Posted on 2023-05-29, 14:31
Thanks for the response Horun, I wanted 256MB because I thought the board supported it. :) No other reason. Ok, so given that the board only has 4 slots, that limits me to 128MB. I'm guessing since that jumper thing that I read about and tried didn't have any effect, double sided pretty much isn't …

Not sure if this is the right topic to bring this up in, but I am having some trouble outputting 720x400 resolution on my Gefen EXT-VGA-2-DVISP. It keeps outputting it as 640x350 instead of it's intended resolution, I've tried resetting it, switching PCs with different graphics cards and hooked it …

EISA is interesting, but when it comes to video cards it will not give you noticeable advantages vs regular ISA. I have 2 EISA motherboards, one with a proprietary local bus slot (ECS) and one with VLB, so I use those for video instead since the performance is way, way better than ISA/EISA. But for …
