Re: Found some old video cards: opinions?

Interesting, I've seen the ATi Rage Mobility-P should have both Motion Compensation plus IDCT support being based on the Rage 128 chip. Is it correct? I may bench it versus the Rage Pro Turbo card. :) I remember having in the past an old notebook with the -M version of that chip and could play some …

Found some old video cards: opinions?

Posted on 2020-05-11, 09:54

Hi, I've found some old video cards for some config I may decide to build. 1) Number 9 AGP SR9 SGRAM with heatsink, four SGRAM module, DVI , I suppose 16MB but can't say if Savage4 Extreme chip? PCB 01-338340-00 REV 00 SR9 2) ATi Rage Pro Turbo AGP SGRAM PN 109-48400-00 maybe 8MB 3) Unknown brand …

Re: Oldest video card with DVI?

I am using the card with DVI to VGA adapter, but I am unsure if the adapter reduces the image quality. Generally, DVI-to-VGA adatpers are completely passive devices: the card already generates an analog VGA signal and the adapter just connects the relevant pins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ …

Re: First graphic card with passive / active cooling

Posted on 2020-05-10, 16:30

Some models of the Riva 128ZX have a funny-looking undersized heatsink. My first active-cooled GPU was a Diamond OEM Banshee. I've got a Diamond Riva 128 PCI that has no heatsink while I've seen others having one, maybe different revision but sure it'd need one. That chip runs very hot in 3D heavy …

Thanks for the answers. I wasn't expecting a Rage and G200 card having DVI support! Incredible. Also I imagine the G200 with that DVD decoder module with DVI output would be a great combination! 😀 What about the Millennium and Mystique black connector? Was it a digital connection?

Oldest video card with DVI?

Posted on 2020-05-10, 12:50

Hi, which is the oldest video card/gpu with Win9x/ME support having DVI and possibly supporting the 1280x768 resolution? I'd imagine some Geforce 2 model, the G550 and some early Radeon models? Thank

Re: PowerDVD vs WinDVD for Win9x/ME

I prefer Cinemaster 99 for K6-2/3 level hardware. I even had a P3 at 300MHz decoding in software with it. Excellent quality too. It can be found with some searching. This is what the ATI player is based on. Once you go into somewhat faster hardware like a midrange P3, there is an old version of …

Re: PowerDVD vs WinDVD for Win9x/ME

I can highly recommend PowerDVD XP/4.0 along with any Radeon video card for older systems. It even allows a weak P2-300 or K6-2 500 to play DVD smoothly. Here were some CPU usage numbers I saw whilst playing DVD on the following systems, all with PDVD 4.0: K6-2 500MHz, Radeon 7000, 128MB SDRAM, …

Re: PowerDVD vs WinDVD for Win9x/ME

Posted on 2020-05-09, 16:06

I had the first several generation of Ati Radeon video cards, and they included MMC/DVD player on the driver CD, which should provide IDCT. Unfortunately all the cards I bought in the past came without boxes/cd and I read the ATi (I think based on Cinemaster engine) DVD Player need the exact cd …

PowerDVD vs WinDVD for Win9x/ME

Posted on 2020-05-09, 10:04

Hi, I was thinking to buy a retail version of one of the two software for a Win ME machine using video cards from 1998 to 2005 more or less so to benefit of the old fashion gpu only acceleration and not all the fake hd cpu software filters and similar things of the absurdly heavy modern players. I …

MPEG2/DVD - GPU/HW decoding questions/opinions

Posted on 2020-05-05, 12:22

Hi, since the K6-2 times I always like all the different solutions where both graphic cards and/or dedicated hardware decoders tried to offload the cpu from mpeg2 decoding process. Since Pentium II/III obviously old PCI decoders weren't necessary while the final image quality has always been …
