Re: CRT experience

Could it damage it though? If it is truly harmful then, why is it an option? I wish I could hack it and use it permanently like this... My last CRT was a Sony Trinitron 19", not sure of the model. CPD-G400 comes to mind? Not sure if that's right. It was absolutely beautiful, great contrast and …

Also got max textures settings working now with random memory stick swaps/ bios tweaks . Basically if I set less then <32MB AGP Apeture size I see your artefacts/lack of textures. Once at 32MB it runs fine, I guess it's just creeping up to over the 48MB+ memory used for max detail textures. Anyway …

Ah yes sorry you have a PCI version...hmmm Are you referring to AGP aperture setting in the bios setup? Yes I have the PCI variant of the Neon 250, would it have any effect? I don't think so but no harm in trying AGP Textures was a selling point if implemented correctly My knowledge on that isn't …

Q3 Gold from GOG Xeon 550Mhz @ 666MHz :D 128mb ram <- I think my issues are memory related actually, tried a different stick or two and Q3 crashed instantly no matter what setting. Need to find at least 256mb that works and run memtest 440GX @ 120MHz FSB GL Driver: Default GL Ext: on Video Mode: …

The problem appears for me when I slide the texture detail setting all the way the right. If I pulled it back one notch, no problem. Alright progress.. It's sensitive to AGP aperture size.. On my 440GX platform 128mb aperture -> fast hard lock 64mb aperture -> fast hard lock 32mb aperture -> plays …

So I've got a fresh install of W98SE OEM. Plonked on Q3 Gold from GOG. Installed the earliest drivers and later ones from vogon drivers. Tried the early opengl32.pvr (rename to .dll and plonk in the dir) as well as the MiniGL config program and set to QIII folder. I don't see any corruption like …

So should we start a new Neon 250 thread or keep the fun rolling here? Just calling out there are several new owners of this card, probly with questions like me. Has anyone been able to use “high texture detail” in Quake 3 without some textures obviously not loading correctly? Check the gun in the …

I bought my 2080ti for 2600 AUD 3 years ago, bought a 3080ti two months ago for 2600 AUD, Side question: how well does 2080Ti run DirectX9 games? Are there many old games that refuse to run on 2080Ti? 3070Ti seems to run all DX8, DX9 games tested fine so far, no compatibility issues. Framerate …

Don't quite understand how retailers are allowed to scalp a graphics card but not a PS5/Xbox ? Who said that PS5/Xbox aren't scalped? In the UK no PS5 or Xbox series X or is above RRP from a 'reputable' retailer (maybe Apple products too) it seems. But the same retailers and others seem free to …

I managed to get a 3070TI late last year at 'rrp' for GBP750 from a smaller retailer just as the restricted hash rate cards came in stock. Thought long about it as it's the most I've ever paid. Went for it in the end because the 40x0 series will likely have no win7 support. (and feeling lucky to …
