Nvidia purchased 3DFX and used it's SLI tech in its own cards I believe.
Voodoo 2 SLI weirdness.
Posted on 2019-11-16, 17:21
Hey guys, I've got an STB 12MB and Monster 12MB voodoo card in an SLI config and there are a couple things I have questions about. I'm using the Fast Voodoo2 4.6 drivers which allow the using of mismatched brands and the SLI is detected and I can select 1024x768. The weird thing about this is it …

I work in software development and keep old outdated software and books on my shelf to see who notices. A few people usually do.
Re: Could you give me advice on buying a new computer?

I've owned 2 tablets and all of them have become forgotten within a month. If you have a PC and a smart TV tablets are useless. I don't even consider buying tablets or laptops anymore Iknow they will just gather dust for me, I have no specific need for either. I don't consider the kinds of "Games" …

I got this HDMI Switchbox which I love: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QGZ1435/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But you will need to get a separate 4k UHD audio extractor as well if you need SPDIF out like I did: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074HHSJVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin …

The ReelMagic card worked in DOS too. I don't know if you thought they didn't or I misread that but I used to own one back in the day with my 386 =). Were you running a PCI ReelMagic card in your 386? Oh I would tell you that it was of course ISA but I don't think that you were actually asking.

I forget to update this thread until it winds up in my queue again. I've been bad and started quite a few things simultaneously, I'm at varying levels of completion which I will try to estimate here: PC: Assassin's Creed: Origins - 70% complete? I'm guessing. Really like this game it looks brilliant …

Picked up another 9800 Pro today for about 60 plus shipping. Am I the only one that thinks these cards are currently undervalued? What is arguably the best card for Win98SE seems to go for a reasonable price. I just wanted to have a backup in case the one I have now fails in the future.

PPSSPP is a near perfect emulation of the PSP which has all the features you would want.

I ended up putting the X-fi Titanium HD in my girlfriends Win 10 machine. She has like 2 3" tall USB powered speakers so it should sound awesome =) At least I know the card works fine. Well I know the mini stereo output works fine anyways.

I went to go and try it and realized that It won't fit in my XP system. The GTX 580 covers the other PCI-E slot, so much for that idea. Unless I get a better motherboard, which I have been considering for a while if the right deal comes up, I'll have to stick with the PCI card I have in there …

Steam is a cult, and when they die they will take all your games with them.
