Re: Asus CUBX - Tualatin Modded

Try explicitly setting 60hz refresh rates on the FX5200. LCD monitors can often lock on better and cards produce a sharper output at 60hz vs the default optimal setting. Good advice, however I had already done that with no noticeable improvement (at least to my eyes). All that said the CUBX has …

Great system. You don't see enough CUB-X setups as most of the attention is on the P3B-F. It's a better board than the P3B-F; much better / faster CPU options for example (as you've shown). I think there even 2 ISA versions floating about. That said, I think you want to really be using the ISA to …

FYI i am currently using a ATi Rage XL PCI 8MB card in my Am486 DX4-100. System is running WFW 3.11 and DOS 6.22 It isn't the BEST card in the world, but so far it's been pretty compatible and it does work with the ATi MACH64 drivers if I remember correctly under 3.11 It was pretty cheap too, just …

If that fan is noisy you can get brand new ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVIDIA-Fan-NV-1017-12VDC-0-07A-on-52mm-x-52mm-x12mm-Heat-sink-OL0378/250711680954?hash=item3a5f94a7ba:g:ub0AAMXQ0v1RZuKs And yea, you need newer games to see some benefit from the FX =) Still, its a decent card with low …

And I'm sure the ATI cooler is superior in every single way compared to the junk HSF's they put on theese cards from new =) Got a bunch of them from my hunt for a working 9800PRO, man those cards seems to be rare nowadays. And I swear, more then once have I installed it and then tried to install …

Maybe I'm weird but today I ordered an FX5700 LE 256mb card on ebay. Hopefully it shows up soon. "Fun" fact, the ATI radeon 9xxx series coolers might fit that FX so well you will keep sorting it with ATI cards until you wise up and put a sticker on it saying what it is =) Mine identifies as an …

Thing to watch with DOS cards is VESA compatibility. Never seen how SiS 305 does in that department, but ATi Rage chips are decidedly average. According to this matrix, the 315 is much more compatible than Rage, so assuming the 305 has similar behaviour, just slightly slower in the 3D you don't …

Maybe I'm weird but today I ordered an FX5700 LE 256mb card on ebay. Hopefully it shows up soon. The FX5700 has yet to show up, however I did pick up a Geforce 3 TI500 locally today. I missed that generation of cards when they were new, so it should be interesting to see how it does compared to the …

There is practically nothing you could play on 486 that ill benefit from 3D accelerator, 2D quality tho .. The 2d quality is quite nice on the ATI card, massively better than the S3 Virge I had in there for a bit. The main things I've been playing lately are Quest for Glory 1 and Police Quest 1, …

so why are you downgrading? Is it a downgrade? It does have twice the ram and it's not like that ATI card is exactly fast. I will definitely run some benchmarks on both when it comes in. I kind of like having a SIS graphics card in a machine with a SIS chipset on the motherboard. EDIT - For shits …

"High performance PCI Graphics Accelerator" *chuckles* Never saw a product that advertised itself as 'For Suckers!' on the box, so what do you expect? lol Not much considering it's going to be in my Socket 3 133mhz AMD machine and used primarily for DOS games. That machine currently has an ATI 8mb …

SIS 305 16MB PCI

I ordered a Kaser brand 16MB SIS video card on ebay yesterday for potential use in my AMD socket 3 system. I can't find much of any information about this card online. Attached are a few pictures from the ebay listing.

Whats the gains in the benchmarks? In all my testing the S3Virge is as good as any other video card. I'll re-run all the benchmarks tonight with both cards and get you actual numbers. EDIT - I'll be busy tonight so I made some coffee and got to work straight away. My "feeling" at the time of that …

Video card upgrade today, ordered an ATI Rage Pro "Turbo" 8MB PCI card last week and it came in today. HUGE 2d image quality improvements over the S3 Virge that was in there and some gains in some of the DOS benchmarks I have. The last thing I need to address is the sound, still waiting for my …
