Didn’t see it already covered, apologies if so, but the Voodoo Rush works on this mobo. Def slower than the Banshee and Voodoo 2 in GLQuake and 2d sharpness isn’t good. This is the Intergraph Intense 3D. GLQuake results with AMD5x86@180 w/sound.

Any know why Descent 2 has this purple hue going on? Everything else I’m playing looks fine.

Just got around to testing FastDoom. You can play Doom at quite fast speeds on your Rendition Verite based card. The difference is incredible. Thanks to Viti95 for this! It’s quite an accomplishment. https://youtu.be/6unNuPympE4 POD100(40*2.5) 1024k L2 Diamond Stealth S220 flashed with latest bios. …

I had my Gigabyte GA-486 AM/S up and running and used a peltier element with a capable version of the 5x86. It's unfortunately not 100% stable which I can maybe change by hopping onto another board with a variable voltage regulator. Nonetheless a nice experiment. Hell yes! Awesome work! Any pics of …

Matrox cards never supported these out of the box, but G200 has unofficial TSR which adds uncommon res modes. Got it, do you know of any cards that do? Besides the Riva 128?

Bumped my score from 19.4 to 19.9 on both a Riva128 and Banshee using vid_mode 16. Keep in mind that it's worth to try benching with "vid_wait" set to 0 and "vid_nopageflip" set to 1. Got it, I’ll test it out. A bit outside the scope of this thread but my POD/UMC system hates VESA modes so far. Big …

No, that was with Matrox Mystique 220 and UniVBE to add low-res modes. Quake does not list VESA 320x200 by default, but it's accessible via console - "vid_describemodes" followed by "vid_mode ". Hot damn, thank you Serpent, had no idea these commands existed. Bumped my score from 19.4 to 19.9 on …

Face palm you guys, plugged an EDO stick into the LS486E and now I’m hitting 19.4, same as the 8433UUD under stable settings. I know it’s not news to anyone but here are the speedsys results between FPM and EDO on the LS486.

I know you are tweaking that for the sake of the sport, but not sure you will find greener grass there.
