Doom 3 Radeon FPS drops
Posted on 2023-02-12, 21:53
Hi I'm comparing two PCI-E 16x cards in the same system, s775 Pentium 4HT 3GHz running XP SP3. One is high-end from 2006, a 7900GT 256MB DDR3, Forceware 93.71. 3DMark03 = 16881 pts. Another is mid-range from 2011, a Radeon HD6670 1GB GDDR5, Catalyst 13.9. 3DMark03 = 29566 pts. And despite the 3DMark …

The problem with Live is not the period-correctness but rather it can slowdown your PCI bus in some cases and also the W98 driver overhead is quite noticeable on such system. Given you run a 166MMX the hard drive is definitely not a bottleneck.

Hi! I like this motherboard you used very much, looks like a great foundation for your system. The rest of the components are easier to upgrade with time. In my opinion the Live totally doesn't belong here, not only it is less compatible with the games this system could run than an ISA card but it …

Hi Vanessaira. Here it is the board you own, AL440LX. You will find manual and other info in the downloads tab. Because your variant also has YMF we kindly ask you to contribute with a photo (see bottom of the page). In the meantime we'll put the Sony OEM information there.

Perhaps you can upgrade your RAM. But don't use more than 32 MB with your L2 cache configuration. Thanks for the feedback. If I come across a nice pair of 2x 8MB, I might. I think 16MB would be ample amount here. But for the record I ran a max allowed amount of 64MB (2x 32MB FPM) in this system and …

HWiNFO32 is 95-compatible since v.6.24. Question is whether software would be able to access the reading from 95. This Asus m/b almost certainly has at least some h/w monitoring. Being a 5V VRM s462 board I think checking on voltages once in a while won't hurt.

Great build. Interestingly it runs 95. Is there a compatible hw monitoring utility such as CoreTemp that also works with 95?

Hi speeddemon, just stumbled upon your post because I'm considering a somewhat sized-down version of this based on my P5P800-VM. I like how you check all the boxes for a fast w98 box as well as the crispy clean condition of your parts and the tidy way of cable arrangement. Everything looks real …

I don't have my build by me atm to try it but I am including an older VXD AGP driver picked from HyperionPro v.4.56 for those who can do some win98 testing on a downgraded version while running newer BIOS.

I've tried vanilla 2001 XP, released before UAGP 3.5 was implemented, and the bug is not present. While a reasonable thing to test, I'd say that still doesn't entirely strike out the possibility though. It's still WinNT 5.x being a world away from 9x. Everyone experiencing the issue is likely using …

I suspect it's the CPU microcode update though. An interesting thought and could be potentially tested by creating a monstrosity of a beta BIOS fork mod with the backported microcode part in AMI MMTool from the original BIOS rom while keeping the rest of the blocks. Alas,.. it wouldn't explain the …
