Re: 3DFx driver (logo)

I wish someone would have figured out how to swap the logo sequence, with all the attention the drivers got back in the day. As it is you will have to use the old version 2.xx drivers to get the old logo. Unfortunately they are speed sensitive (unlike the newer ones),I believe the consensus is that …

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the YMF718 has reverse stereo for PCM but correct for the wave table header. The opposite for the YMF719, correct stereo for PCM but reverse for wave table. Haven't tested that myself.

A lot of people are excited about this project (me included!). This card would cover most of my needs for DOS games. Unfortunately I don't think supply will meet demand (like most things these day). I hope the developers take that into account when they decide on a price.

With 128 MB you should be good up to about 2003. I think Doom 3 (2004) was one of the first games that used a bit more than 128 MB although it still runs fine with that amount. This is with the standard texture compression, some games allow you to turn it off which is not recommended.

1996: With my Pentium 133 I played 2D games at SVGA if they supported it like 640x480 for Warcraft II or 640x400 for Red Alert. Duke Nukem 3D I played at 400x300, Quake was some weirder res but around the same amount of pixels. 1997: This year I had a Pentium 200 and a Voodoo card. 3D Games were …

Dell used the 8800 GTX cooler for their 8800 Ultra. The part number on the shroud is for the cooler not the card although it is usually associated with the GTX.

You probably wont be very happy with the OpenGL performance, if the game even runs. The professional OpenGL drivers are different from the consumer ones. Also, the X3 is actually a cut down version of the X800 XT, similar to a Pro but with less ROPs. Here is an example: https://www.anandtech.com/ …

There are no compatibility issues that I know of. Voodoo II doesn't use the 2D card for anything. The only thing I can think off at the moment is this: FastVoodoo drivers automatically overclocks the cards to 96Mhz (no idea why). This can persist after driver uninstall. Try to downclock the cards to …

I was looking at KT133A back then. I remember the Asus A7V133 was avaliable in mid January 2001. I wanted Abit though and bought the Abit KT7A in late January. I'm pretty sure I saw the Asus a7M266 in stock at that time.

If you are running XP there is no difference between the two. They use the same GPU architecture.

For the 980, you'll be just as well off leaving everything as-is and running the Quadro driver as OpenGL is faster on the Quadro drivers due to additional features and DirectX doesn't suffer any penalty for it. My limited testing showed the Quadro4 to be a bit slower in OpenGL (Direct3D was the …
