Re: Why are Hercules graphics cards so rare anymore?
Posted on 2020-01-21, 20:15
Guys, I'm specifically talking about DOS-era cards through about 1997, based on ET4000, ET6000, ArkLogic, and S3 8xx, S3 9xx, Trio, Virge series chipsets. Those guys are nearly impossible to find in the Hercules brand. The newer stuff with the blue PCBs I agree aren't as hard to find. There are a …

This sounds interesting. It held the top spot on 3DMark's website for about a week until I was beat out by people with LN2 overclocking lol. Those 295's are terrible though. I went through several different RMA's because they all developed artifacting even at factory clockspeeds. I would avoid them …

Yeah, Water cooling it would be nice. But I never did one before and I don't want to try just yet. I think I am going to get off the time period build and just go for hardware before 2010. An Intel Core-2-Quad for (best performance ) Why C2Q? Definitely NOT the best performance hardware before 2010 …

I know people (me included) laughingly refer to it as the 'snail case', but its actually always reminded me more of a giant marine ammonite fossil, so whatever you pick you need to water cool it. Hardware wise, base it around an FX-57 / 60 plus SLI'd NVIDIA and build from there. Yeah, Water cooling …

I don't know why you guys keep trying to suggest crossfire, it was proven it never worked, only being fixed for cards starting around the 7970 and up after that revelation. pcperspectives ring a bell? counted the frame on frame counters but rendered a meaningless "runt" frame on screen? It's …
Re: I can't identify my laptop's sound chip

Well, if it still wouldn't install the driver manually, then something was not correct in the .inf file.

You should be able to add the device id to the .inf file for the drivers you are trying to use. My guess is that the .inf file is detecting something else specific or that the ID is slightly different than the one in the .inf file.

Guess what I currently have in my Lian-Li case from 2005? ASUS x79 Deluxe (the newer one) XEON 1680v2 (8-core, 16 thread with 25MB L3 cache) EVGA Geforce RTX 2080 Sound Blaster ZxR Lost of storage. The system that goes into that snail case should reflect the snail shape... basically the slowest …

Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 8-bit driver update files?
Posted on 2020-01-20, 05:02
So I am spent a large amount of time today looking for the updated drivers packs for the Pro Audio Spectrum 8-bit sound card. I was able to find all but one. I am still looking for: pas8dsk1.exe I did find: pas8dsk2.exe (found on the archived windrivers.com site - for some reason the wayback machine …

Yeah.. my thought is the same for the 15ns ones. I have a few boards I want to max the cache out on.

Pretty cool. I have PIV and a PIII RDRAM builds I am planning on doing. Already have the boards and RAM. I looked into the 32-bit RDRAM stuff but it doesn't really make any difference over the 16-bit stuff except that you use half as many sticks with the 32-bit stuff. The 32-bit stuff is basically …

What about this seller for the 10ns cache chips? [link removed] This seller sells them for a lot more, and they are marked 15ns instead.... maybe genuine? [link removed] Who really knows for sure. They could be old stock that was never sold or originally failed testing. Obvious remarking of the FPUs …

Despite the seller presumably getting hosed by giving me a full refund, including shipping which from Poland to Canada was not cheap, they continue to list their remaining units on eBay as X800 XT PEs. You'd think they'd want to not have a repeat experience? I wonder if they marked it as an XT PE …
