I have not had the time to try too many games but yes, its mostly pre-directx9 issue I would think. From the top of my head: Mafia - flickering shadows under cars, ehm, automobiles GTA Vice City - crashes NFS Hot Pursuit 2 - crashes Its not the cards fault I think its usually more about drivers and …

The original Quad SLI Geforce 7900GX2 is pretty fun to mess around with on Windows XP 😎 Forcing SLI32AA mode on older games while maintaining top FPS is a nice bonus.

Thank you very much, this was super helpful and seems to solve the current issue for me on WinXP system. I am assuming I can leave the power cables plugged in when I use this "PCIe disable" feature as in the fans would remain turned OFF? And would they still suck the power from PSU or is there some …

Probably because they will never sell a lot of these (compared to consumer mass market products), they could require custom low-run driver boards and other one-of-a-kind hardware/software, etc. There is probably no planned obsolence either because the industrial grade parts must be durable and …

1) It seems to work without disabling the second card, but I do get the prompt after booting into Windows about the second card so thats probably the main reason why I should disable the other one, right? I will still need to multiboot I think, because I will need different drivers for each card and …

Some Far Cry and Doom 3 screenshots from Geforce 960 on Windows XP 32-bit SP3, driver 368.81: https://imgur.com/a/AW68q3n A lot of other games dont work or have glitches though. But when they do work, they look very nice when you force SGSSAA or 4x4 supersampling as seen above. I have compared the …

Hello there! :) Has anyone here ever attempted to build a WinXP system with multiple graphics cards at once ? Right now I am focusing on Windows XP, games from cca 1998-2007, where I dont expect 100% compatibility near the lower end of this timeframe but you probably know what I mean (HL, SS2, etc). …

9500 is the beginning level of supporting DirectX 9.0C, and it run slowly on DX9 games. Thats exactly what I was thinking, the 95(7)00 is not fast enough even for early XP games unless you dont mind lower FPS/resolution/details. Personally I would keep this rig W98 only and be happy if I would not …

I have the 3 (I guess) best CRTs ever made (not counting rebrands), below is a list with whats best about each of them since I had the opportunity to test them personally: CRT Mitsubishi 2070SB - best all-around CRT, sharpness/convergence potentiometers accessible with long screwdriver without …

Was wondering if anyone here knows their way around the hidden service menu and what are the proper settings to adjust things like brightness etc. Similar to what people do with Trinitrons where they adjust something called "G2" with that TTL/USB thingy. I have had some success already but there are …

I have Radeon 9600XT under Win98 and have some issues with DirectX. Some games would not run at all (i.e., THPS2, Project IGI) and after attempting to launch these problematic titles the PC would then require a restart to be able to play any other DirectX game. Tried different drivers and DirectX …

Its possible that the CRT you got is normally bright, CRTs are not really that bright compared to modern flat panels. If this is your first CRT after many years then its likely the case. Actually, if you were to use CRT for text display and not games you would need to make it dimmer on purpose so …
