Hi guys, Just wondering what the very best quality 4:3 monitor would be, in terms of contrast, blacks etc. Thx

Some Via chipsets don't like the AGP v5. I have a via266 chipset mobo that has similar behaviour with my v5. You need to list your system specs to help people give advice.
Re: V2 SLI - No box filtering?
Posted on 2018-06-19, 00:54
It's surprising how you don't really see other v2 sli owners talking about this. For me having that distinctive 3dfx smooth filter style adds that extra level of nostalgia for me. Perhaps it is due to the effect being generated in the ramdac and doubling up on two levels of that would look horrid, …

V2 never had box filtering. That starts on Banshee/V3 You're probably describing "dither subtraction". After further investigation I don't know if it is dither subtraction or not now, based on this info from my driver: "Alphablending dither subtraction is disabled by default. Set SSTH3_ …

Yeah thanks for understanding me that's exactly what I mean. Unreal games are nicely smoothed on v3 or v5 hardware though, is that because of their box filter? thx Ps Koolsmoky is the most legendary driver guy for the voodoo. His drivers are fully updated with open source glide and he also fixes the …
V2 SLI - No box filtering?
Posted on 2018-06-16, 15:08
Hey guys, I have read that in SLI mode the v2 has its special filter disabled, and during practice I can tell. For instance in dark games like Deus Ex, the dithering and dark shades are all dotty / pixelish instead of smooth with that classic 'voodoo' look. I was wondering if there was ever a way …

Man that is surprising to me! I mean, it is a year 2000 card running ut2004 smoother than the 'modern' cards I had back then.

Only thing I recommend is trying a different 2D card.
Re: Matrox G400/G450 Quake III Performance
Posted on 2018-05-06, 12:30
Ok. I did some testing on Windows 98 with a P3@1GHz, 256MB at PC133 CL2 and a G400Max. The TurboGL is only supported on Win9x so my earlier tests were all with the full ICD. Matrox recommends an AGP aperture size of 256MB but there is no option for it in my boards BIOS and powerstrip says its set …

Is this real? I even own a v5 5500 but find this almost impossible to believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fULDrrzijqo I've never even been able to get SFFT drivers to work properly. Let alone play a game like this.. amazing.
Re: The old Windows Glide Games List
Posted on 2018-04-22, 13:05
I think this list: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=534 is kind of misleading. There are lots (and I mean LOTS) of games listed here that don't support Glide. I understand it was mentioned that some were added just because they had '3dfx' on the box, but either way it makes the title and …
Re: Matrox Parhelia 256 PCI-X Performance

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I managed to get hold of a Parhelia agp 8x card, which had the rumored new chip revision and better performance. I can confirm that this is indeed the case, the chip/package size is almost half compared to the original parhelia, here is a photo: https://drive. …

I'm not wanting a product or anything, just asking for some help. It's not like you can buy this kind of thing. But thanks for your help.

Yeah that's fine but this is a kind of obscure question that only people on a forum like this might be able to help with.
Where to get spare Slot 1 brackets?
