I can confirm. Sometimes video cards crash in Quake 3 with old config file.

Bunch of good stuff arrived today, including: ASUS GeForce 5900 Ultra. ASUS GeForce 5900 Ultra.jpg XFX GeForce 7800GTX 512mb. Probably the second rarest G70 based card after ASUS GeForce 7800GT Dual. Card is missing two small capacitors on the backside, but in working condition. XFX GeForce 7800GTX …

It doesn't work. NVIDIA is a bit craftier than that. It works. 1) Detonators before version 27.xx are hackable by RivaTuner and don't have any protection of DeviceID. 2) Detonators after version 27.xx require NVStrapAntiprotection patch to be applied before RivaTuner installation.

It moves but oil did nothing unfortunately. Looks like heat from GPU just killed the rotor. On the other hand, I own the only 64-bit SDR GF256 around here, aren't I ? I'm quite sure it's not really problematic to find that ASUS abomination. Sooner or later I'll stumble upon it. Eagles card looks …

My abomination has arrived. Eagles GeForce 256 SDR front.jpg Eagles GeForce 256 SDR back.jpg Surprisingly enough that's 128-bit card with just slightly underclocked memory - 120 mhz chip/150 mhz memory. Despite its ugly duckling appearance I've successfully overclocked it up to 150/195 mhz. VGA …

The Quadro2 Pro creates a very fancy GeForce2 Ultra with VGA and DVI. A lot of OEM GeForce 2 Ultra were with DVI though. Quake 3 results are a lot more interesting, with significantly improved performance. What about something like RTWC or Amerikan McGee Alice? Most likely Quake 3 is just a …

Look for it by memory size and type filters. But it's easier to find GeForce 256 on local markets for cheap price.

That more or less fixes black level issues, not resolution scaling though. Every technology have black level issues. CRT had horrible black under strong light.

I'll probably get 64-bit abomination from "Eagles" soon. silikone wrote: Tests that synthetically stress T&L were especially showing large relative gains over CPU T&L. You have to remember that NV10 was released in very early 1999 as Quadro. Even Pentium 3 Katmai wasn't released at that time.

Scalpers are already charging premium for good S462/478 boards. Especially for boards with ISA slots.

7200 is original Radeon 256 with full T&L support and 3 TMU per pixel.

Apparently all required lanes to ISA are connected, so it's possible. I have CUBX with 2 ISA slots.

Why not? That's GeForce 2 MX400 OC level. It's not practical to use GeForce 1/2/3 anyway, because GeForce 4 Ti is better in every aspect.

Both GTX 590 and Titan have certain TDP limitations, so they will last most likely. Of course if you're not trying to overwrite limits in BIOS and kill VRM with extreme OC.
