Re: PCIE Graphics Card

I think the PCI-E lanes are through the Southbridge. Edit: I’m wrong on that sorry. You Just need the Via 4 in 1, or was it Hyperion by then? Anyway I made a CD with all the drivers I needed, I’ll check tonight and see what they were. Any "how-to" on this? Also, which GPUs you running on that?

Nah, like I said, it's an old problem which also occurs on GeForce 4 Ti and probably GeForce 3. RivaTuner allows to fix a bunch of problems with pre-G80 cards. Fair enough in that case Mentioned it in a sense not to get skewed results anyway. I have the 775 Dual Vsta and the PCI-E isn’t full 16x, …

Another myth: no absolutely no. You will lose compatibility and image quality with them because Nvidia starts cheating with Detonator 4x.xx not with 5x.xx. Compatibility/image quality side is better to use 30.82 or older. Of course with NV3x you are almost obligated to use them but using them like …

Testing next with the PCX 5750 is definitely the plan as it can slot into the same system, and as you said use the same driver. Then load up 98SE on second drive to test Dx7 on the same system. The second system, a 754 Athlon with a VIA chipset I will test the Quadro FX 3000 and a FX 5700 Ultra. …

Modded inf 81.98 driver: All games tested with 3d accelerated render path. I wonder if reinstalling windows with just Dx7 would help. I remember reading here that dx8.1 started to break things. You'd be doing, at least to me, a huge favor if you test same things with say Q FX 1300 and then with …

OTOH I can't seem to find any PCX GPU on eBayou, am I missing something here? They're not common and tend to be misidentified. There's one Leadtek PCX 5750 currently listed by an IT business in Germany, which is the only one I've seen for ages. I bought my EVGA PCX 5750 on Amazon of all places, I …

Generally, Quadro FX cards are no different to regular GeForce, when it comes to gaming. What about W98 fully supported ones that offer more than GF4Ti? Ala table fog and 40.xx drivers and more FPS? If some from that table I linked fit that description, lemme know! Im afraid of this: https://www. …

Quadro FX 1000/2000/3000. All and All not a great experience. Thanks! I read this list for a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadro#Quadro_FX_(without_CUDA,_OpenCL,_or_Vulkan) . Is it even worth considering them for W98 simply as is , if I get my hands on a faster one instead of FX? Are they all …

Anything except FX 5700 can work with 45.23, officially or unofficially. 5700 requires 53.xx drivers, because it's a newest chip in the FX lineup, but it's theoretically possible to force older drivers partially, by mismatching some DLLs in installation folder (like I did on GeForce 4 Ti 4200-8x) . …

I need a bit of clarification here: - 45.XX drivers are "best" for W98 games - FX series came with 50.XX+, so this seems like a wrench in the W98 cogs - PCX5xxx also need even newer HSI aware drivers, which even further complicate W98 compatibility So, both AGP and PCIE solutions here seem …

Dang, I was really hoping to somehow avoid FX series, both due to loudness and heat, eBayoux prices for 5700+ models, the "FX xx50 versions fixed something so get only those", and crappy DX9 perf. OTOH I can always plop GF4MX (there are no Tis for PCI right?) into a PCI slot and FX or GF6 into AGP …

Slightly offtopic, buy why not skip FX for GF6 series? Seem to work in W98, still in P4 era, support pallete/fog... GeForce 6 series dropped support for paletted textures. It only supports table fog. Also, as others have mentioned, newer drivers that these cards need have compatibility issues with …

To know which "actual final rendering" the DgVoodoo window has, you can use PresentMon you know. Interesting, thank you. It is the case with any game, if the scaling mode in dgVoodoo is set to e.g. "Stretched, keep aspect ratio" and the game resolution is not the same as that of your desktop. Most …

Re: Fullscreen input lag

Posted on 2022-12-22, 00:00

Just a very quick comment on this: keep in mind that if resolution is forced (or does not match the native (desktop) resolution) or the scaling mode is not set to 'unspecified' then dgVoodoo emulates the cursor in software. So, its speed will align with the current FPS. If you want a super …
