Re: Some Audio Winbench'99 results from various PCI soundcards

I did some tests today with MDK2 and the system running @1.2ghz. Except from AC97's worst sound quality there is no performance impact in the game whether one uses the onboard AC97 sound or the Live! or even no sound at all. That's right, no difference at all. I used 1280x1024/32bit color, no …

Try MDK2 benchmarks with the sound enabled, I dare you :P I shall! does the retail MDK2 disc has said benchmark? Also what is your opinion leileilol, do I underclock again to 1.2ghz for MDK2? I am curious about the outcome of this, audiobench does not necessarily proves anything, real gaming …

thanks guys! Sadly I no longer have a pci x-fi or an audigy card... For the x-fi I doubt I could test it in winME due to driver lack. The worst/best is already colored Malik, in each line there are red numbers (worst) , black numbers (mid-range) and blue numbers (best) , so in each test you can …
Some Audio Winbench'99 results from various PCI soundcards
Posted on 2012-02-07, 12:51
Hiya! inspired from the discussion here ( Audigy vs. Onboard Realtek HD Audio -- which is better? ) I decided to run a series of tests with the PCI soundcards that I have available in order to determine the impact they have in cpu usage... The system used was my recently acquired p4 system. For the …

Yeah Jorpho I have seen the site you mention... I have searched some Korean sites to the extend online translators allow it... in this game btw korean/eng makes no difference but I suspect it's not korean only, because the demos have extensive English docs and surprisingly they are very well written …

Re: Is there any "hack" to improve voodoo1/2 passthrough quality?
Posted on 2012-02-05, 13:22
to be honest neither the external switch or a dual input monitor are acceptable solutions for me 🤣 , that's why I asked for improvement on existing passthrough cabling/switching relays... Thanks for the suggestions though 😁
Re: unknown isa big sound card

I can bet you that this card in the end will be a paperweight to you. Not only it is suspiciously looking like a telecoms card but it will not even function as a sound card. edit: I just saw the original auction too, this won't be of any use to your XT machine....
Re: USB keyboard driver for DOS?
Posted on 2012-02-05, 12:01
I have looked in the usb-dos matter in the past. I have successfully used a usb stick to transfer files with a usb2 pci card on a p1mmx system. It was a nice achievement but other than that it was dog slow. My advice is not to bother with USB stuff in DOS. Just get a ps2 keyboard.

General rule of thumb - if you're not a professional musician with very high class equip then no chance you'd ever notice any difference regarding sound quality. [...] I strongly disagree on this one , with my 60eur 7.1 speaker set I can hear a huge difference between various sound cards... others …

I've really favored onboard for the performance as well. I never knew my Sound Blaster Live added so much of a bottleneck to game FPS until I went onboard. I stopped using cards since. are you sure about this? because I have seen benchmarks claiming the opposite... not questioning you but could …

Thanks for the answers :) I am using a 3rd party vga passthrough cable , it is a quality one to my knowledge... I do get blurriness even at 1024*768 , it is not much but I do notice it. Plus I am using a 1280*1024 lcd monitor so it is even more noticeable to me... The voodoo3 is a nice card but I do …
