Re: 6800XT AGP VS. 5900XT AGP

Posted on 2020-02-04, 19:24

Well at 8pp your card is actually slower than a 6600gt, your comparable to a 6600 DDR2 in 3d performance unless you enable aa and then you may get be slightly faster thanks to bandwidth. Your disabled pipes are definitely bad though. It's only about $40 on ebay for an agp 6600gt, I might get one to …

Something else of note is that Firefox scrolls much smoother with the 307.83 drivers on the 6800XT, even scrolling up and down a page on this forum with the 175 drivers on 6800XT is kind of choppy (same with 5900XT). So I guess there's some kind of hardware acceleration being enabled with these …

Well after testing version 175.19 I'm going to say driver version probably doesn't play a role in this. None of the extra pixel shaders work properly on this card but one of the vertex shaders does (at least in FEAR). EDIT - 3dmark tests don't seem to show any artifacts with that extra vertex shader …

Does display driver version matter when you try unlocking shader units with Riva Tuner? If I enable either block of disabled pixel shaders I get 2d corruption/freezing and other weirdness in Windows. If I enable either disabled vertex shader I get flashing shadows in FEAR. EDIT - Actually enabling …

It's the power saving features of the card, hit the question mark next to agp 8x in t should put a 3d load and cause it to switch to 3d clocks. Also since it's nv40 grab Riva tuner and see if it unlocks, you may get the full 16pp6vs. According to what I can find that's a 700mhz mem card which means …

GPU-Z is reading the memory on the FX 5900XT wrong, it is actually 350Mhz which is also called DDR 700. So the actual memory bandwidth is half. Still faster than the 6800XT but it will pull ahead in newer titles (like you saw with F.E.A.R). Didn't know they made 6800XT's with that slow memory. It …

The 6800 xt is a mixed bag I remember them new and options where 128bit 128mb DDR 128bit 256mb DDR 128bit 128mb GDDR3 128bit 256mb GDDR3 256bit 128mb DDR 256bit 256mb DDR 256bit 128mb GDDR3 256bit 256mb GDDR3 They also came with nv40/nv41 or nv42 You want an nv40 with 256mb GDDR3 on a 256bit bus. …

Got F.E.A.R. installed and it is definitely a demanding game! I set the graphics options to high and only adjusted the resolution before using the in-game benchmark tool. Got some graphical glitches so I've downclocked by 5mhz core and mem on the my overclocked tests. 6800xt 28fps - 1280x720 14fps - …

I've had a CUV4X sitting around for a while and recently got a Powerleap Tualatin adapter so I decided to put together a Tualatin/Voodoo 3 build. Specs: Asus CUV4X Intel Tualatin Celeron 1.2ghz + Powerleap 512mb PC133 SDRAM 3com NIC Sound Blaster Live! Voodoo 3 3000 AGP I was struggling to find a …

I love it. If I was going to buy a truck, I think that's exactly what I'd look for. Past experience has made me comfortable with GMs from that time period, and I find cars from that era to be easier and more mentally relaxing to maintain than newer cars. Just modern enough to have computer …

Nice peice, but that truck is 30yrs old, now considered a classic, smog regulations shouldnt apply anymore, i say turn that factory 350cid into a 383cid stroker and hot rod it, or just restore it stock and have yourself a reliable daily driver... "its time to choose". /G-man Thanks, it's quite …

Re: Voodoo 5 5500 PCI

Perhaps the version you got has an Apple firmware? I remember reflashing a Voodoo 5500 PCI which I bought second hand in 2003 for my friend's i810e system. It had an Apple firmware, and so did not work out of the box in a PC. I first had to reflash. It ran great afterwards, but a few months later …

Re: Mendocino Celeron/440BX System

550Mhz are not bad. Back in the days i have overlocked my 466 version to 525Mhz. I have reached the 525Mhz without adjusted voltage... But be aware of the topic "Electromigration". To reach this 550Mhz, you overclock a 0.25 micron CPU with integrated L2 Cache. You overvolt up to 30%. In the range …

So a while back I ordered a 366mhz Celeron on ebay for this machine and it came in today. Runs stable at 550mhz (5.5x100fsb), it's definitely faster than the 400mhz Celeron that was in there but it's still a bit too slow for my liking in 3dfx Carmageddon. Ah well. EDIT - Definitely NOT stable enough …

Which games are playing? the Celeron may not push the V3 to the limit but may be perfectly fine for your games. Even if it's a stopgap while waiting on good deals for other hardware First thing I installed was Carmaggedon and the expansion, I've never played through the expansion so I wanted to …
