Re: Best WinXP Video Card

Posted on 2018-02-26, 03:54

Awesome! If Crysis can run at 67fps minimum and 100fps average, then presumably any less intensive games that are natively DX9 should run at least as fast. You should run something really old, like the earliest 3D accelerated Windows games that work in XP. :lol: Some really early XP games were …

Re: PCI Sound card for Windows 3.11 & Dos 6.22?

Posted on 2018-02-26, 03:48

kithylin, that's pretty much accurate. Unlike video cards and IO cards, sound cards lack an option BIOS and there is no way at a low level to communicate with the card unless the driver, application, or OS is PCI-aware. An old game, for example, can use a more modern graphics card because it can …

My point of view on this thread : From the launch of Windows XP until its end of support in 2014, there's an ultra wide variety of video cards that were designed for this OS. A majority of graphic cards from 2002 (beginning with ATi Radeon 9700 Pro) until 2014/2015 (which are the Radeon R9 270 (and …

Random thoughts.. a friend of mine and I were looking through nvidia documentation and can't find a clear answer.. Does anyone actually know 100% for sure, if we can SLI two GTX 700 series cards (any of them, 770, 780, 780 Ti, etc) under windows XP 32-bit or Windows XP 64-bit? I know there's nvidia …

http://outfoxed.x10host.com/SF1SoX0.jpg Proud owner of a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD7. This is the 32-phase power, 4-Way-SLI Z77 overclocking beast from gigabyte. Almost every chip installed in this board is almost guaranteed to at least 5 ghz or more on water, according to all the threads I find on the …

For those wondering why I was so upset and leaving it's two things: 1.) Regardless of whether I bad-mouthed a seller or not, on all other forums on the internet.. if someone comes on there and openly attacks a long-time member of their forums as their first opening post, they would of been banned …

Don’t know why the people causing drama or anything weren’t just punished instead of ruining it for everyone else. Because as long as people are arguing in threads and keep coming back to defend themselves and argue at the other side, it keeps driving traffic to the site. Please other spectators …

It was a good idea for a thread vetz and I had fun with it while it lasted, except for when I had my eye on something and then it appeared here :dead: I'm definitely leaving. I thought you did that already? :lol: I said in that post that I was still here for the ebay thread to try and find deals …

Wasn't sure I was going to put a forum up on my new site I am working on.. but because the eBay thread is being closed here I definitely will. I'll make a post here on Vogons once it is set up so we can continue to have an eBay thread.. even if it is not here on Vogons. VCF already has an Ebay …

And now also I get to spend a few hours today and go back to find any of my old posts where I actually contributed any useful information and delete the posts. I don't want to contribute anything to this place after this happened. Are you sure you want to go that destructive while the discussion is …

Welp, I didn't think you would actually close it. And now you've ended pretty much the only really good thread that kept the majority of us coming back to vogons for anything. I'm pretty sure you're going to see the overall activity site-wide on vogons diminish now, and it's all your fault. I'm …

Also having issues understanding why not overclocking a HEDT is somehow wasted potential. Because you're paying more money for "The ultimate Intel overclocking platform", motherboards with dual power connectors for extra overclocking stability (even single socket), when "normal server motherboards" …

IMHO, Intel doesn't like to see xeon chips in "consumer" motherboards. They like to sell premium chipsets for those boards. This is because of the 771/775 era. Those boards are STILL useful as long as you aren't gaming. That means people upgrade their old systems with cheap xeons and don't buy new …

Since apparently the Rampage (original) Extreme is going for $200+, I figured getting the IV and V edition for around $150 was worth it. I got the Rampage V Extreme off eBay for suspiciously cheap, and low and behold it doesn't work. Would've raised issue with seller, but it was under warranty, so …
