Well, I can tell you that an Intel SE440BX-2 with Pentium III 850 worked fine for me with an AGP NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT.

Hehe I guess nobody knows. It looks like there were at least two things in DirectX (Direct3D) that could be emulated to work. I found these in the D3D.INF for DirectX 5.0. Ramp Emulation - Microsoft Direct3D Mono(Ramp) Software Emulation RGB Emulation - Microsoft Direct3D RGB Software Emulation …

I am having a little trouble finding definitive information on 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics PCI (Voodoo 1) DirectX compatibility. DirectX 3.0 compatible according to all sources seen. DirectX 4.0 was never released. DirectX 5.0 compatible according to some sources. I am guessing that when released it was …
Re: With what video card are you playing retro DOS?

Oh man, what day of the week? Currently I am mostly using an STB Nitro 3D, Dell OEM, S3 Virge/GX, 4MB video card. Have several on hand and by far my favorite DOS PCI video card.

Thanks for replies. Gerwin, I thought about undervolting but I'm really glad you have some info! my limited amount of time with throttle suggests to me that it is much more useful on a slower than a faster CPU. Talking about smoothness, I may be wrong. Serpent, I am only keeping my SE440BX-2's and …

Another side note. Just in case you didn't know, SE440BX-2's and their OEM counterparts do in fact have a jumper setting to allow you to configure the CPU multiplier in BIOS (softmenu) if the CPU is unlocked. Once set you power off machine, return jumper to normal operation, then configure/ …

I am going to try to test the theory with a Pentium II 333 @ 266 and run speed tests. Might take a few days. Out of all the tests done before what are 'we' considering the most desirable now. 3DBENCH PCPBench Speedsys Doom Quake @ what res? 320x200, 320x240?

I forgot to mention. These boards need to be a new enough revision to support the Coppermine CPU's. I have several Intel SE440BX-2's that do and I have several OEM boards that I can test as well. A Deschutes 266 would be a pretty good substitution. SL2K9, SL2QE, SL2W7, SL33D with a TDP of about 17- …

Well I like messing with various CPU's, kind of a hobby in and of itself. Anyways would like to hear some feedback on this idea. I crunched some numbers and here is what I came up with. I do not have this CPU in my possession yet, just thinking out loud but it seems interesting to me. Intel Pentium …

I have tried playing this game several times in the past only to give up in frustration. This time I finally committed myself to playing it and have learned a lot. The number one reason I failed in the past is because of the user interface. After enough research I have gotten past that. I am …
Re: Where to draw the line between video card generations?
Posted on 2018-11-04, 21:47
I don't think I can say how I got it installed and working but it is. Totally CPU bound so resolutions and settings have little to no effect on frame rates. At least what little I have done so far. Just got my suit on. It is choppy but totally playable! I am impressed. Quadro 380 XGL / GeForce4 MX …

Hmmm. A GeForce FX 5200 may be good middle ground between power draw and performance here. It can still use the 45.23 drivers that I like. Now finding an non-gimped, high quality 5200 at a reasonable cost might be an issue but I saw a couple good ones on eBay. 128-bit memory bus, decent price, good …

MX 440 is WAY more powerful that Voodoo3. It all comes down to Glide support. I am ditching Glide altogether in my latest build and I am happy with it. I even sold off most of my Voodoo cards. I still have a Voodoo 1 and a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP that I will probably sell off too. EDIT: As long as we are …

Well I'm not 100% decided yet. I got a chance to look at Max Payne at 1024x768x32 and everything maxed out. There wasn't much difference in the two cards. The GeForce4 TI 4400 was faster than the GeForce4 MX 440, of course, but the FPS dips were about the same because of the CPU, down to about 40- …
