Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

Deus Ex, which people seem to be singling out in this thread, ran great on my system (admittedly, Unreal games all ran well on the Voodoo 5). I never felt like I needed a faster CPU. I knew plenty of people playing it on lessor hardware. See this thread: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t= …

Re: Old games that had CD Audio tracks?

in DOS
I didn't include it and don't plan to make this change, but agree it would be interesting. The challenge is re-integrating the results with the groups' additions, removals, and improvements - all of which is a lot of manual work. Yup, that does seem to be the case. I'm not that good with Linux …

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

What may seem simple to you from your perspective may be a rabbit hole from another perspective. I was a moderator on a phpBB based forum a long time ago (during the mid 2000s) for several years. I'm sure many things have changed on the software side since that time, but I remember deleting …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

To get the discussion back on track, I noticed that the FX cards seem to be slightly more efficient than their GeForce 4 counterparts when it comes to Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering. Even when comparing cards with similar specs from these two generations, cranking up AA and AF incurs a …

Re: Old games that had CD Audio tracks?

Joseph_Joestar, Gmlb256, and Kordanor -- thanks! Not sure if you have this data, but I think it would be beneficial to list the number of CD audio tracks that have been found on a particular disc during your grep search. That way, it would be easier to identify games which simply have 1-2 bonus …

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

I think we're lucky to have mods at all, and a site for that matter. Get over it. I am thankful for Vogons being an invaluable repository of knowledge, and I do know that mods are unpaid volunteers. But I will still call them out when they make objectively bad decisions. Even more so because this …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

Idk man it does kinda sound objectively crazy when you consider that when windows 98 came out the fastest thing you could get would have been like a P2-450 It depends on how one wants to play. As an example, back in the day, I didn't mind having 25-30 FPS in Unreal Tournament. Such frame rates were …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

Not only elitist it sounds crazy. Way to insult posters who have been helping you with your myriad of questions. Just because some people prefer to play with non-period correct hardware doesn't make them "elitist" or "crazy". For reference, there were always a couple of demanding games which needed …

Re: GeForce 4 vs. GeForce FX?

The part about 800MHz being too slow for Windows 98 strikes me as equally absurd but that's becoming quite tangential to the point here. It depends on when one sets the cutoff point for Win9x. Even if we use the year 2000 for that, there are still some games from that year (e.g. Deus Ex) which …

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

I recently had one of my posts deleted by a moderator without any notification or reason given. After I raised a report, it was explained that my post got deleted because I had replied to a spam account. To clarify, I quoted exactly three lines from that spam post. They were simply the names of …

Re: Old games that had CD Audio tracks?

in DOS
While I was not the mod who did this and don't know the exact details, I can generally say that when you're quoting and answering a "spam" post, then it's normal that any replies to that post is removed during thread cleanups, or else it just gets confusing for other visitors who will not …

Re: Old games that had CD Audio tracks?

in DOS
(Mods: thanks for the purging the noise. If stating facts such as "Duke Nukem 3D didn't use CD audio tracks for in-game music" is considered "noise", then so be it. The thread subject asks for the presence of CDDA tracks as-is, be they in whatever form or use-case they fill. That's what everyone is …
